Charlotte, NC asked in Immigration Law for North Carolina

Q: My friend left country voluntarily when asked to leave and has left already but time later we recieved a letter.

He left to mexico by time he was given to leave and he is now in mexico. We recieved a letter for the i485 application that was pending it has an appointment and says he must show. Does that mean he can come from mexico to the usa to go to that appointment? Or is it a lost deal

A: To get a full answer to your question you should meet with an immigration attorney in your area so he can get a full understanding of your situation, but as a general matter, if your friend was asked to leave as the result of deportation proceedings he is very likely now inadmissible and will not be allowed back into the United States even for a green card interview. But like I said, you need to talk to an experienced immigration attorney so they can get the whole story and advise you about your options.
