Asked on Aug 03rd, 2016 on Immigration - North Carolina
More details to this question:
The mother is a us citizen by birth, the father is not. The mother and father were married while the mother was pregnant. I believe the father is going to be deported, can the child be deported under any circumstance. And if the father is deported can the mother and child go with him, even if the mother is us citizen by birth?
1 ANSWER
The child could be deported only if he/she is not lawfully in the United States. Assuming the child is a U.S. citizen, he/she cannot be deported. The child and mother are free to leave the country with the father. Whether they can obtain legal status in the father's native country will depend upon that country's laws. It would be best for the father to fight his deportation. You can read more about deportation defense at http://myattorneyusa.com/removal-and-deportation-defense.
