Entry after deportation

[hatedeportation]

What is the name of your state? NJ


Good afternoon,


my son was deported in 1997 to the dominican republic and we want to know by law what is the time he has to spend there before applying for admission into the country again. He was a permanent resident and now im a U.S. citizen. It has been seven years already.



Thank You.

Hi,
My brother was deported as well and has been out of the country for 3 years. As far as I know, when you get deported they tell you how much time it is for. The usual periods of time are 5, 10, 20 years or forever depending on the "crime" commited. I believe 5 years is for illegal entry in the US and "forever" is for felonies and drug related charges.
I am in the process of trying to get him back into the country and finding out what needs to be done. Before he was deported he was told by the INS officer that he should fill out the I-212 form and he will be back in no time. Unfortunately, the success rate isn't as high from some stories I have read. My brother got in trouble with some drugs when he was just over 18 so they deported him "forever". He thinks he has a good chance of coming back because our whole family is in the US, and we are all citizens. I am not as positive as he is given the current administration and post 9/11 incidents.

Drug Offenses are considered aggravated felony by INS. Therefore they are deported for life. I know someone in the same situation luckily he was only deported to Canada.
