QUESTION

deportation

Asked on Aug 25th, 2013 on Immigration - Alabama
More details to this question:
My name is Jamie Hirst, I am 43 and in Feb. of 2013 I was deported to England from the U.S. For a 1989 assault and a 2007 fraud. I was a permanent resident in the U.S. From 1982 to 2013. I believe I was not adequately defended. My whole family is in the U.S., including 2 children and 2 grandchildren. I am currently homeless in England and I am struggling to survive in a country where I know no-one. I can afford legal council and I was wanting to know if there was any chance of getting my lifetime ban reduced or changed. I feel like it is life or death to me, so if there is anything that can be done, please let me know. Sincerely Yours, Jamie Marc Hirst.

You should begin the process by hiring a lawyer in the state where you were convicted.  That lawyer should specialize in post-conviction relief.  Once your conviction is vacated, you can then hire an immigration lawyer like myself to help you reopen your immigration case based on proof the underlying basis for the action was vacated.
