Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Deportation w/ Criminal Conviction

situation- Husband has '93 conviction of felony theft. Did probation and pd resttution. Green card renewal in '95 and '05. Had special meeting with immigration officer in '05 - everything approved. Husband came through airport in Houston, Tx and was told he was going to go through deportment proceedings. Green card was confiscated. If everything was approved in '05, and there is 8 yrs left on current green card, how can they just DECIDE to deport him now? Even if it gets fixed again this time what is to keep them from doing this EVERY time he goes to visit family out of country? Father is dying w/ cancer, he has come and gone across border and by air at least 20 times since '05 renewal. What is going on?

This is happening more and more frequently now. Get an immigration lawyer immediately. They intend to set a show cause hearing for purpose of revoking his green card, and forcing removal. It is very serious, and you need a lawyer.

Re: Deportation w/ Criminal Conviction

It is not uncommon for people to have their green card confiscated upon entry to into the U.S. if they have any criminal history. Your husband will be placed in deportation proceedings and will need to show a legal basis for remaining in the U.S. This is a very serious issue and you need to address this immediately with an immigration attorney.
