More details to this question:
I'm a U.S citizen married to an immigrant but he has a misdemeanor for domestic violence on me and our child. Can I fix him papers? He signed the voluntary deportation.
Lots of information needed to properly answer your question starting with a complete copy of his criminal and deportation records. Is he in or out of the U.S.? If in, did he return to the U.S. after being deported?
He is barred for 10 years if he failed to leave. If he left, you can still petition him but if he was sentenced to 6 months or more jail, he will have to apply for a waiver.
