Q: Immigration Visa for Daughter Deported for Violating Student Visa

I am a US citizen (naturalized) but my daughter is not. She was in the US studying on a student visa. While on her student visa she went to Canada for a part time job and was denied entry back into the US for violating the condition of her visa. She was deported back to South America with a 5 year ban. As her parent can I file an I-130 for her? Would we need to file any waivers?

A: You can file for her. She can file a form to overcome the deportation, too.
