A:
If your husband has been removed from Barbados for using the identity of a deceased person, this could impact his immigration status and any applications you intend to file on his behalf, such as the I-130 form. It's important to understand that immigration matters can be complex and are treated very seriously, especially when fraud or misrepresentation is involved.
You can still file an I-130 petition for your husband, as it is a request for family-based immigration. However, his past actions may affect the outcome of the application. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) evaluates each case individually, considering all the facts and circumstances. The use of a deceased person's identity could be seen as fraudulent and lead to severe consequences, including a potential ban from entering the United States.
It's advisable to consult with an attorney who has experience in immigration law. They can provide guidance specific to your situation and help navigate any complications arising from your husband's previous actions. Remember, every case is unique, and professional legal advice is crucial in immigration matters, particularly those involving prior removals or allegations of fraud.
