QUESTION
Can she file I212 after deportation and where?
Asked on Oct 29th, 2012 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
My sister-in-law had a green card. she went to see her husband overseas and stayed longer than six months. When she came back at the airport, they took her green card and scheduled a hearing for her. She left on her own before the hearing and didn't contact the judge to let them know she is leaving. We have received a letter that the judged gave her a deportation. This was nine years ago. We do not know how long the deportation is for. I went to Immigration office and they didn't know either.

It is usually for 10 years. The I-212 process can take over a year. Might as well wait a year to avoid having to do it.

If she was deported only once, she is inadmissible for 5 years from the date of her departure. Thus, she is now eligible to return to the US as soon as there is a visa available for her. Why did ICE try to deport her? Has she been arrested or convicted of any crimes?
