My Fiancé Is On Immigration Hold And Is Being Held In A Local Jail Facility .
Asked on Dec 28th, 2016 on Immigration - Massachusetts
More details to this question:
Exactly a month ago my Fiancé was getting out of court for a case he has for an Assault and Battery . Immigration was waiting for him outside and took him . He's been held and ice obviously does not give me any information if he has a bond or not . I'm 4 months pregnant with his child and I'm a high risk pregnancy and he's my only provider for now . We have an apartment together but since he's not working due to being in jail I had to give up my apartment and now I'm staying with a family member for now . Is there any way he will be able to get out on bond or with an ankle bracelet because I need him more then ever to help me with my pregnancy and living situation . He was my only help and now that he's been gone so long I'm having so many problems emotionally and financially. He worked 24/7 and the assault and battery charge was for a fight we had and I'm fixing that in court because there were a lot of lies in the police report . I need answers please . What can I do to help him out

Hopefully the charge can be dismissed or changed as a conviction for domestic violence against a fiancé is a permanent bar to immigration. With a dismissal or change in character of the charge, and if you are a US citizen or permanent resident and marry and petition for him, ICE would likely give him a bond or release him on his own recognizance or with ankle hold assuming that he has not had prior criminal incidents or a bad immigration history.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
