QUESTION

Dad deported for almost 20 years

Asked on Jun 23rd, 2016 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
This is unusual of me to ask online, but here it is: My dad was deported in 1994 for possession of 0.5 lbs of pot. He was a resident back then and his green card was taken away. My question is this. Could I sponsor him to get his green card again or he is banned for life ?

Your father is likely barred from admission for life given the amount of marijuana involved. He may be able to seek admission of his criminal conviction is vacated or he is pardoned. I recommend you get a copy of his criminal court file and consult an experienced immigration attorney.
