How can my husband get papers to live in the usa legally. We have two kids together we been together for six years. What can I do. He has been deported twice.
Immigrant visa options are limited if he has been deported twice but you can explore a non-immigrant visa with a waiver. No way to advise specifically without knowing all the facts of the deportations and any underlying criminal problems.
If your husband has been deported twice, it is not likely you will be able to get him "legal" until he has lived outside the US for 10 years. There may be other options, but I would need to know much more before giving any advise.
You don't indicate if you have filed a petition for him, if you are a citizen or resident of the US, if he is in the US at the present, and when and how he was deported.
If he has been deported 2 times, then he must wait outside US for at least 10 years. If he was a permanent resident and deportation was as a result of an aggravated felony, he can practically never be able to come back.
You husband may be barred permanently from becoming legal if he was deported twice and returned to the U.S. You need to talk to an experience immigration attorney.
This may be impossible for ten years unless he returns to his home country and waits 10 years. He committed a Federal Crime, when he returned without advanced permission and inspection by the CBP. He can be convicted incarcerated as a result. For legal advice, I strongly recommend an appointment with an experienced immigration attorney.
