QUESTION

Immigration

Asked on Jun 02nd, 2016 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I was deported in January 2012, they said I had overstayed my visa since 1989. However, the drama that surrounds the filing my husband did in 1996 played out for 5 long years. We were discriminated against right from the start of our application, always an excuse whenever we visited the immigration office, oh we cannot find your file, or the immigration officer that worked on your case is no longer here among others. My son who was left back a week after he turned 18, had slowly drifted into depression and is now on medication. He had not seen us since 2011, and it is really taking a toll on him. He has developed mental issues and sometimes doesnt eat for many days. I do not wish to live in that country again, but I would like to know how I could get a visa to come and help my son get the help he needs, before he starved himself to death or hurt himself.

You may apply for a tourist visa. The issue you will likely face is you are inadmissible for at least one reason. You are inadmissible for a period of ten years, because you were ordered removed. You may also be inadmissible for ten years if you accrued more than one year of unlawful presence. It is not clear from the information provided if you are subject to this bar. However, it does appear the government's position will be you are subject to the unlawful presence bar. You can apply for a waiver of the unlawful presence bar as well as ask for permission to reapply for admission after removal. If these applications are approved, you can be issued a visa. I encourage you to consult an attorney about the waiver. In the interim, you can read about visitor visas at http://myattorneyusa.com/travel-visas.
