Plainfield, IN asked in Immigration Law and Domestic Violence for Indiana

Q: My husband was arrested DV & his visa is expired will he be deported

He’s being charged with 2 level 5 felonies for battery to a pregnant woman and one misdemeanor for domestic battery. As we are about to have a baby together I’m worried about him staying in the country

1 Lawyer Answer

A: More information is needed. Is he a lawful permanent resident? How long has he lived in the U. S.? Were you physically injured? Is he being detained by ICE? Did you pay his bond? Was he released? Such questions are best answered in a confidential setting.

Immigration Court is in Chicago, so you should consider hiring an immigration attorney near the courts, like our office, with more experience.

I strongly recommend an appointment with an attorney who has the time to listen, who will ask enough questions, and provide legal advice that allows you to make the best decision for your family. You often pay for attorneys who will better explain all of the options. Good luck.
