Q: Voluntary deportation
My mom signed a voluntary deportation back in 2006 but immigrated to the U.S. the same year, she has 4 daughters who are U.S. citizens one which is already 22. She also has an open case against our dad for domestic violence, my dad was deported back to Mexico, my dad has quite the criminal history we are scared if my mom gets deported he will really do what he last told her and kill her. We have not heard from him in years but we are still scared for our mom since the last time he did all this to her they were already separated but still managed to immigrate back and do all the things he did many which I witnessed myself, my sister really depends on her to babysit my nephews, so my question is What can we do for her? we are scared if we apply she can get deported.
A: We strongly recommend that your mother consult with an immigration attorney. Sounds as if she might be eligible for a U visa for crime victims.
