Q: Hello Do I need legal help to bring my father from Colombia? He was deported early 90’s.
We came to USA legally with a resident card, he served time in prison, he opted to leave at the end of his sentence.
A:
Yes, but it’s unclear whether he will be allowed to ‘ever immigrate’ as a matter of law and discretion. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.

A: Yes, you need legal help to bring your father from Colombia. The attorney you hire will analyze the crime your father committed and put him in prison as if it carries a permanent bar on reentry to the United States.
