Re: stopping deportation

Depending on the conviction, your boyfriend may be able to apply for adjustment of status in front of the immigration judge once you are married.

You should consult with an immigration attorney on the possibilities.

Re: stopping deportation

You will have to provide more information, as to why was he jailed, whether you are US citizen, his conviction etc. Generally, a person who faces deportation and is married to U.S. Citizen is able to adjust his status in Immigration Court.

You have to consult with an experience attorney about your possibilities.
