Q: My husband was deported from the US with a 5 year ban which is now up, what does he have to do to re-enter, for a visit?
We are now living in Europe, but would like to visit family. Prior to deportation, he was arrested and plead no contest to one charge and the other two were dropped. Our lawyer at the time failed to tell us that a no contest plea was basically the same as guilty in the rulings of immigration law. No prior criminal record before entering the US, whatsoever.
What steps do we need to take just to visit family?
A:
Good morning. Your husband should be able to reapply for a tourist visa and include a waiver for non-immigrant visas. Contact an experienced immigration attorney to help with the process to avoid complications.
