Q: I am a US citizen. My husband and I are legally married in 2009. He was convicted of a felony for family assault. He volunteered to go back to his home country instead of being deported. He came back illegally. In September 2011, he was stopped for a traffic ticket and found to be an illegal. He was sent back to immigration. We hired a lawyer but were not able to obtain a bond for his release. We still don’t know when he will be deported back. Is there a chance he can get a green card with all his convictions?
 
A: Domestic violence could be a bar for admission to the US. You will need to consult with an attorney on that issue. He cannot adjust his status to LPR because he entered the US without inspection. Now it looks like he may be deported as he was previously offered voluntary departure but he returned to the US again without inspection. With criminal record and deportation, you better find a good immigration lawyer to help you.
