My husband was deported a year ago, we have been together for over 13 years and married for 5 and have 2 small children together. What can I do?

If your husband's immigration violations did not involve multiple entries and violations in each period of time while staying here, and you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you can apply for him with an I-130 petition for alien relative and once that is approved, he can go through consular processing under which he will be denied at interview, but given an opportunity to submit forms I-212 application for advance permission to return to the US after removal and I-601 for waiver of other bars on admissibility. If the process is successful, the period of time will depend upon whether you are a permanent resident or US citizen and the speed of U.S.C.I.S. in adjudicating the applications. A rough guess is 2 1/2 years if you are a US citizen and 3+ years if a permanent resident.  I cannot give you an estimate on costs as attorneys charge differently, but I do note that the work to be done is difficult.  If you do not have much means, I suggest that you seek the assistance of Legal Services or other non-profit groups.  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.
