Friend deported from the US.?

Question

He lived in california for 3 years straight with a visitors visa. 7 years ago he was deported because he was not allowed to live and go to school in the US with a visitors visa but his visa was not expired though. He was 12 years old when this happened. His grandmother and 2 uncles from his father side have greencards, his father is also living in the US with a visitors visa but he did not get deported because his youngest son (my friends brother) was born in california. He would have to wait 10 years to apply for a visa from the date of his departure. His father has a company in Brazil that has one of the biggest projects in fish business and soon they will get bigger and richer and also export to the US. He is in his second year in college studying Business, he will graduate in 2 years i think and he works in his fathers company which he has 10% of. Does any of this help him get a visa again? If not, how can his family uncles (that have greencards) help him?What are the chances?

Answer 1

I hope slim to none

Answer 2

call immg by contacting the 1 800 fed info and ask the number.

Answer 3

If he was deported, there will be a record of his deportation. At age nineteen, he is an adult. At age 22, he will be able to apply again for a visa based on his own individual merit.

His grandmother and uncles with green cards won't help him because he's not their "immediate relative."

If his father has INS permission to stay (because of a US-born child) the father probably has his own I-151 and may petition for his adult son if he becomes a US Citizen.

I think he'll have to wait until his ten years are done before he can apply again.  Let's see if George or Yak agree because they are very, very good.

Answer 4

"Going" is right.  Your friend's uncles or grandfather cannot petition for him:  it must be a parent, a spouse or a child.  Even if there were someone who could do that, the ten-year bar still pertains.  His father, if he has a green card, could petition for him if he remains unmarried; since your friend is now 19, he would fall into the F2A category, for which the wait right now is about five years:  by the time his priority date became current, the ten years would have passed and the immigrant visa could be issued.

If your friend becomes an officer of the company and needs to travel to the US on business, the ten-year bar still applies.  Even after the ten years are over, he will have to convince a US consular officer that he does not intend to stay in the US in order to qualify for a visitor's visa in order to make business trips.
