One of my good friends recently got voluntary deported. He has live in the usa since he was 2 years old when his parent brought him over. He has never had any criminal convictions before any of this happend.. He was given probation for having false papers, but the charges were dropped down to a level 6 and was not given any jail time. When he was moved to a immigration detention center he went to court and was told that he was granted voluntary departure and was sent to mexico on 11/15/07 of this year. He was never given any date for how long he had to stay in mexico. All of his paperwork just says voluntary departure on or before 11/15 but no date or time as to how long he has to be there for. They just told him that he was granted voluntary departure. What i have questions on is that he has a girlfriend over here that he wants to marry. Do they file the paperwork and get started on the finance visa? or what do they have to do to get him back here...I guess i just need some direction on were to begin on this...thank you so much for reading this and i hope that someone can help me out..

K1 woud be the way to go.

The waiver need would depend on how old he was when he was deported.

What sort of false papers did he have, may be crucial.

Assuming best case he would need a waiver for the 10 yr ban. If he was at least 19 when he left then he was illegal for over a year triggering an automatic 10 yr ban for re-entry. The false papers were a GC I assume? That may create more problems so a lawyer will be needed. You will need form I-212 since its been within a year he got deported. You will also need I-601 since he is probably inadmissable after you get married. Before you tie the knot know what your in store for. This will take years if successful at all.

He actually applied at a financial company and when they ran his ssn they found out that the ssn was not valid....it wasnt anyone else's or anything but it was invalid. thats how he go picked up. But he was dropped down to a level 6 charge and given probation for that count. But the judge at the immigration court didnt tell him anything about a date or a ban, which he said that almost everyone that he got deported with had some type of ban....so you think the wavier would be the way to go?

also if he does have a ban....how can i check on that?? i have his alien number do i just call immigration??

How old is he?
did he come in on valid visa or was he sneaked into the country?

In anyway as Davdah explained. His illegal presence started after he became adult. after 180 days 3yr ban and after 1 yr 10yr bar. No number to call immigration.. check uscis.gov for the rules. This is standard procedure.

Wow..
He applied to work at a financial company??? or was he applying for a loan?
Who called uscis on him? Scaary.


If possible she can take up residence in mexico for 6 months and I believe do direct consular processing in Juarez. There they will deny the adjustment of status and at that time she will file the waivers to be considered.

there is great help at immigrate2us.net on this topic. Lots of women there filed succesful waivers for their undocumented /deported husbands.

Good Luck

Since it is his 'A' number only he can call. There is an 800 number to check the status of the case but it will only tell you what you already know, 'voluntary departure'. The ban won't come into play until he applies for a visa. Then it will be disclosed he is banned for unauthorized presence.

The level 6 was a what?, felony, misdemeanor? Was it in reference to the SS card? I'm taking a guess here but it sounds like providing false information for a loan application. That would count as a financial crime. Depending on the amount of money applied for and other circumstances it may fall under crimes of moral turpitude. If it is then he would also be inadmissible based on that as well. It would at a minimum aggravate the case so you should see an immigration attorney. This will get expensive and take a couple years to sort out.
