Chicago, IL asked in Criminal Law and Immigration Law for Wisconsin

Q: What can we do to fix all this?

My boyfriend has an Open - Bench warrant issued since 2011, because he didn’t showed up to the court because he signed a paper to get deported, so Ice took him in. On his case record it has his year of birth wrong it says “1991” but he’s from 1993 and he was 17 years old, but since he didn’t know English, he keeps telling me they did something wrong. We’re trying to get married so he can get his green card. He said he thought by getting deported his case was going to closed.

A: It is necessary to review your boyfriend's record in order to advise him.

Consult with an experienced immigration attorney.

A: More information is needed, but if he was actually deported, then returned to the U.S., then this is something best discussed inside an attorney's office.

As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications.
