Can I get a waiver for my deportation - Student - No Criminal History but worked for some cash

Question

I was a legal student in the U.S. However, I worked for some cash illegally and got caught. They told me that I would get a notice to go to court but they sent it to the wrong address. I was deported in abesntia and had no idea that I was until I was picked up after a broken tail light traffic stop. I do not have a criminal address and tried to file a motion to re open but it was denied as the court wanted me to prove that I had sent the change of address form. I just used regular mail like it was required and do not have proof. I gave up after almost 9 months in jail. Can I come back there? What do I have to do. I have a MBA in Finance.

Answer 1

All you can do at this point is try. You are inadmissible for 10 days from the date of your departure pursuant to section 212(a)(9)(A)(ii) because of the deportation order.

For you to enter the U.S., you would need a visa, and for you to get a visa, you would need a waiver of the ground of inadmissibility mentioned above.

As you are back in your home country, and it isn't a third world country lacking opportunities to do well in life, it's unclear why you would want to return to the U.S. You may need an immigrant visa if it is your intent to live in the U.S.

You are not eligible to enter the U.S. under the VWP. You must have a visa, and to get one, you must have a waiver.

Answer 2

Working on a student is against the rules on the visa you obtained.  You were caught, visa cancelled, and should be deported.  I am afraid you will have to get your education in your own country or one that is more lax on the visa rules.  Sorry.

Answer 3

Sorry, you're out of luck. After years of doing virtually nothing immigration has stopped playing games with people who are here illegally or violate immigration laws.

Answer 4

You could file an I-212 (Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal).  I don't know how much good it will do, but you can try.
