I had a robbery case.

Post by silvio » Mon Feb 22, 2010 3:14 am

I had a robbery case in the U.S. in 1995 and was sentenced to 9 years with 85%. Later, I was picked up by immigration and deported for the case in question. While I was in immigration jail I fought my case and won it but immigration appealed it on the first court. I decided to return voluntarily to my country instead of fighting my case over. Now I want to return home in the U.S.. I want to know how do I go about reopening my case.

I'm assuming you have now become inadmissible meaning you need to apply for a waiver and show that you will experience extreme hardships if it's not granted.
I tell it like it is.

He needs to consult a lawyer if he wants to reopen his case. I don't see any option of a waiver for him. In any case, US immigration is not concerned about any extreme hardship of the immigrant, only of the US citizen petitioner (and only in some cases).

Ah true sorry I completely forgot it has to do with the petitioning family member.

Based on all this, OP your case deffinitely can't be a DIY project.
