More details to this question:
I would like to help my younger brother get back to the states if possible, he was deported 15 years ago for a crime he didn't commit to for home invasion,being at the wrong place and at the wrong time. He did 5 years in jail and still got deported. Almost all his family members are living here in united states, mom, brothers, and sisters and a son who is now 18 year old.Is there any way that i can bring him back? Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately I do not see your brother being able to come back to the United States after having been deported for the crime of home invasion and serving 5 years in jail. Unless he is able to have the conviction overturned, he is permanently excludable from the country.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
