HAVE A FRIEND THAT WAS DEPORTED BACK TO MEXICO LAST YEAR......HE WAS OVER HERE ILLEGALLY...CAN HE APPLY FOR A PASSPORT OR VISA TO COME BACK TO US?

Hello,   A person who has been deported from the U.S. can visit the U.S. provided he can obtain a visitor's visa from a U.S. consulate abroad. The Consulate will look at many factors including how long it has been since deportation, the likelihood of your friend remaining in the U.S. illegally, his ties to his native country, etc. in deciding whether to grant him a visa. It may be difficult to get a visa but it is not impossible. Notes: This is general information only and is not legal advice. It is advisable to consult with an immigration attorney about your specific case.
