Q: My huband wasn't deported he had to leave the states due to a family emergency. What does he need to return?
.We met almost 5 years ago he was here in America a year before we met legally with a vacation visa I believe. We own a business together, we also have a newborn baby 1 month old( Going through an adoption). My husband was here in America for almost 6 years. We have been married a little over two years. Unfortunately my husband returned home due to a family emergency about a month ago now we need help with his return home. He said he wasn't held or anything at the airport they just took his fingerprints before boarding. Can you help?
A:
It really depends on the specific circumstances of your case. I would recommend that you contact an immigration attorney immediately.
Generally, if a person overstays their visa, they will be subject to the 3 and 10 year bars provisions of the law which prohibit applicants from returning to the United States if they depart after having previously been in the country illegally.
