I suggest you consult with a experienced immigration attorney who will determine whether you qualify for any visa. Do not overstay your visas. An overstay will make it very difficult to receive new visa or extend your current visa.

It depends on how he entered the country. There are ways to do it where he does not have to leave the country. It all depends on the attorney. Many immigration attorneys including me offer free consultations, make use of the consultations and talk to an attorney soon. All the best.

You may still be able to apply under the previous category if your CSPA adjusted age is under 21. To calculate that age more information is needed, so please contact an immigration attorney in private to help you with this process. All the best.

It depends on what kind of investigation is going on. In most situations criminal investigations will not prevent you for applying for your fiance but in some cases they do. So talk to an immigration attorney in private tell them what investigation is going on. All the best.

When you say "supervised deportation" does this just mean your husband was deported? or, did he "voluntarily depart"? if he was deported, he may have to wait ten years to come back, but you may be able to apply for a waiver of this. I would need to verify with further... View More
