Can a deported spouse of a citizen return to the U.S. with a special visa or permit?

Question

And how long does it take? Anyone have `prior experience or knowledge of this.

Answer 1

The person would have to file a Form I-601 (Request for Waiver of Inadmissibility) and get it approved.  The request should be based on hardship.  It's very important that a knowledgeable person assist with the preparation.  It's not something I'd recommend an amateur to do.

Answer 2

No possibility -- there is no such thing as a "special visa or permit."  There is no way this person is coming back to the US, even with voluntary departure in lieu of deportation.  He/she is barred from re-entry.

Your spouse can apply for your immigration to his/her country.  If you have children, they have a right to citizenship in the deported parent's country of citizenship. So your spouse can get the kids passports of that country and there is no immigration hassle to take the kids.  Immigration approval is only needed for the US-citizen spouse to reunite the family in the other parent's country.

Answer 3

If a person has been deported, they CANNOT return to the US.

Period.

but the ten year can be borken with prove of harships and stuff like that...

Answer 6

You can try after the 10 year ban

Answer 7

if ypu have been deported and banned, you CANNOT re-enter the USA before the time period (usually 5 or 10 years) has expired. When it has passed, then your american spouse needs to petition for you legally, and apply for a waiver to allow you back in. You need to stay in the home country until you get permission to re-enter USA.

IF you enter USA with no visa, then you are liable to be deported again and banned for life.
