Hello,

I would like to file for my spouse, he has a felony; the charges were importation of a illegal substance with the intent of distribution. Will I be able to file, if so what will be needed?

Being convinted of being a drug dealer is a big crime. He's banned permananetly from being eligible for green card. I think he's got no chance.

Felonies, especially felonies pertaining to drugs, are definitely a BIG NO NO. My husband was denied naturalization for two petty theft charges from the 80's. We have been married 25 years and he has been living in the US for 40 years. I am applying for a hearing and waiver. You definitely need a very good lawyer if you decide to file.

I think you are out of luck.

This is one of those tough laws that I fully support.

FELONS should never be admitted or allowed to obtain immigration benefit in US.
Plain and simple.

Drug distribution IS a FELONY.

Your spouse will not be allowed to AOS.

I agree with AF.
What to do though when no country wants such people anyway. Does it mean they should be countryless?
Maybe we should create a separate country for felons and criminals with an electric wall surrounding it, sealed border and let them rule themselves. We'd see how they'd fare.
Maybe they'd kill each other off...

thats harsh...anyone can make a mistake...that doesnt mean they should all be killed off...when people are young and stupid they make alot of mistakes that doesnt mean they are bad people. It is rare to find someone who hasnt once in their live done something illegal. The difference is most havent gotten caught...or all of you are going to say you never once in your young and wild days tried pott...

Engaded,
distribution of drugs is not a "youthful mistake" of any kind, but willful act of crime aimed at gaining illicit profit at the cost of destroying society.

Engaged-
no you are wrong. Believe it or not there are people who actually have never done anything illegal or criminal. I believe that's majority. I hope at least. We are not talking about stupid mistakes but a criminal act. A stupid mistake would be dropping out of school or getting a girl pregnant at 18 or less, not dealing drugs that will destroy someone's health and life.

Most crimes are a choice. Drug pushers make the choice - and he imported the drugs - how can that be a 'youthful mistake'?

Move on - and take care of yourself. Drug dealers and felons are BAD news. And why would the American people want to import more low lifes ?

we are to quick to judge! thats all I am saying. you and I both were not there and we dont much about the case. Let me tell you something, I am very disapointed with our legal system, I've never been through it but I know thousands of people that have and are currently still fighting their cases, truth of the matter is theres alot of times people get charged for things that didnt even happen, specially around here, cops are quick to fill out a report full of lies. We dont know what happened, how much drug he had on him..or anything of that sort so we cant assume hes a dirtbag, at least I am not. I dont support drug trafficking nor do I approve of people using drugs, I just think that alot of us come on this board to ask serious questions, and too share our experiences with this complicated web called INS...and alot of us, including my self, because I have done it are quick to judge, and decide that all people who are illegal and are caught commiting a crime should be banned permanetly, specially if that person has kids and a wife and his whole family here, think its unfair, the way the system plays with peoples lives. and I know most of you will say its not the systems fault, but come on when people are getting deported for "stealing peptobismol" and Advil, i think its a little ridiculous, they should really be focused on the hard core criminals not on people who have made stupid mistakes because they were not thinking straight.

I don't like and never liked "wide brushes", nor "generalized equations" - because both are misleading and deceptive.

You must comprehend at once: there is a DIFFERENCE between a criminal,someone who committed a crime and someone who didn't.

Being in US illegally is NOT a crime (only a civil violation resulting in deportation).

Committing a CRIME is a CRIME.
And stealing drugs from the store is a serious crime, no matter what you think.
Legal or illegal doesn't matter.

The only difference is that USC, by virtue of being USC, is not subject to deportation or permanent bar of admission if committed a crime, while an alien is.

I agree with engaged. You can't judge without knowing all the facts. My husband was arrested for possession of burglary tools. The tool was in my car (before we were married) and the tool, which belonged to me, was a long screwdriver I used to remove the hubcaps when I had to change a flat. He was in a public parking lot on his way to join me. The officers didn't want to listen to anything I had to say. It happens!!!

Thats what I am saying, and like him theres alot of people in the same situation, sometimes, police officers exaggerate the truth...thats all...what may be something so insignificant...they make it seem like its horrendous......thats what I dont agree with. INfact, you know what most cops are corrupt and abuse the power given to them. I've seen it first hand. In and out of uniform, they are untochable no matter what they do, not even when they comitt crimes and are taken before a judge they are punished accordingly...that really pisses me off...

[quote]INfact, you know what most cops are corrupt and abuse the power given to them...[/quote]

This is a LIE I keep constantly hearing from certain posters but have never witnessed in my life.
What is the purpose of such LIES I do not want to suggest, but that these are plain LIES I can confirm.

Regards,

IE

well then, just because you havent experienced it doesnt mean its not true, and just like you can confirm its a LIE, I can Prove to you that its not, so please go some where else with that. How would you know if you havent seen it? and I said MOST not ALL...Yeah there is nice cops out there, my fiances cousin is married to one. My friends cousin is married to one that is not..so...how would you know...??

I have met and spoke with several COPs or COP's to be/relatives of COPs in person.
I have also been pulled over in past, more than in one occasion.
And I had at least two car accidents (not my fault) in recent past.

In each instance I have met different people, but none has said or done anything innapropriate that would justify me accusing them of being "corrupt" or "bad".

I also know they can get tough - but they don't unless you start acting up and cursing them.

To claim otherwise (that MOST COPs are "BAD" and "CORRUPT" ) is to willfully spread LIES.

Plain and simple.

I have a question similar to this. My fiancee has a DUI charge from 02 along with other traffic violations including driving under suspension which he did not go to court since he was deported. He also has two prior driving under suspension in which he did take care of them. Does anyone know if these will be held against him when applying for a visa or waivers? And if they can be resolved if he is not here?

See to believe? Anti, you have GOT to open your mind. You actually believe that ALL cops are good cops? Do you also think that everyone in our government is above the law?

What a disease is that with you, people, that you have to label ALL instead of seeing it as is ?
