Legal Question in Immigration Law in Michigan

I have been married to my husband for 13 years, In 2004 he was deported to his native country of Kenya. In 1995, before I met him,he was married to another USC and was found to have a sham marriage and also overstayed his visa. I have 2 children with him and we see him every two years. He was barred from entering the US for 10 years. Because we no longer can live like this, I have decided to move to Kenya next month, plus I am leaving my job, etc. Is there a possible way to apply at the US Embassy a petition or waiver to get him back to the USA? If so, what is the first thing I should do? Or should I not apply yet and wait for the final 3 years to complete the ban?

I feel great sympathy for your situation. Your husband may be eligible for a waiver but this is something you must discuss with an attorney. I am based in New York but handle cases all over the country. If you would like to give me a call please do at (866) 723-7610 x101 or email me directly.

You might not need to move to Kenya with the children. I understand how difficult this time must be but assuming you are a U.S.citizen and the children are also, there might a waiver available to him. We would need more information both from you and him. You can call us for a free in person consultation at (248) 619-0065. We have offices in Troy and Detroit.
