Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
If an immigrant that is married to an american citizen and has been deported before and divorces that american citizen would it be possible for him to remarry and apply for citizenship through the new wife?
2 Answer from Attorneys
To clarify, only a legal permanent resident (green card holder) can apply for citizenship for himself/herself. I believe what you're talking about is a spouse filing an application for their spouse to get a green card.
If this is the case, it is possible for someone who was deported to apply for a green card, depending on the reasons of deporation. If the person has crimes, then this could prevent them from getting a green card. Depending on the crime or reason for deportation, a waiver application may available. A waiver is a request, asking the government to excuse certain crimes or deporations. Waivers may or may not be approved, since they are ultimately up to the officer reviewing the case to approve it. You should meet with an attorney to discuss these issues, as they can be complex.
