A:
Re-entering the U.S. after being deported for drug charges and losing permanent residence is very challenging. Since your husband was deported for drug-related offenses, he may face significant barriers due to the serious nature of the crime.
The process for re-entry typically involves applying for a waiver of inadmissibility, which can be difficult to obtain, especially for drug offenses. You will need to demonstrate extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member if the waiver is not granted. Additionally, proving rehabilitation and a significant amount of time since the deportation may also be necessary.
It's important to understand that immigration laws are strict regarding drug offenses. Seeking legal advice can help you understand the specifics of your case and explore all potential options for re-entry.
