This happened in Long Beach, CA costing $l2,000 and instead of filing papers of naturalization, he filed to return them to Mexico and kept saying everything will be just fine.  My friend is going to another trial in June and this should be against the law.   He and his wife and son have been here since they were young.   \n\nWHAT CAN WE DO, PLEASE HELP IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING.\n\nKaren

They can file a complaint with the state Bar Association or the police for fraudulent services.

I hope it wakes him up to see that any "comprehensive" plan is impossible to enforce because they are constantly going to try and find some way to show they are exempt....even if it means using their children as pawns.  Even abiding by the rules that the Senate wanted to pass, with the "path to citizenship", she would not have been allowed to stay here.  She was already deported,  had here stay extended.  She's failed at every legal move since.  Even with chances and reprieves she LOST....but still won't abide by the law.  She's 1 and you can imagine all the chaos when they all try their shot at it.  As far as I'm concerned she proved there is no way but strict enforcement to get these people out of here.  They just don't think they have the responsibility to abide by ANY law.  "For the sake of the children" burned out a long time ago.  To me this is the same as some thug holding his child as a shield from bullets.  She looking out for HER best interest.  They make it sound like their children will be taken away from them.  Some even go so far to say the kid couldn't make it in Mexico because they don't know Spanish and it would be stressful to assimilate.  They haven't assimilated here and don't seem to know English either.  All their "excuses" don't work.  They made the choices and any problems for their kids are THEIR fault not ours.  The kids are free to go with them.  If not, then sign them over to a legal guardian. Otherwise they can come back when they are of legal age and hopefully learn from their parents mistakes.  They need to learn that having children doesn't make them exempt from having to abide by the law.

Stocko's generally right regarding what happens if you don't pay.  Having an unpaid civil judgment will haunt you everywhere you go, from credit to job applications.  You may be forced into involuntary bankruptcy.  DO NOT let a default happen.  Get an attorney, or at least proceed "pro se" (without an attorney) and answer any lawsuit.  Because the insurance company knows you're not represented and didn't have insurance, they're going to go at you hard.  Merely getting a lawyer (if you can afford $1-2,000) should help this settle quickly.\nHow do you know he's an immigrant? And how do you know he's illegal? If he didn't speak a lick of English, how did you know what he was saying re: insurance?  You know that committing felonies is often grounds for deportation, which may be why the person was concerned.  And he likely had insurance all the time--because insurance companies wouldn't indemnify and defend him if he just got coverage.

Check with an immigration lawyer. If you do something wrong it can ruin your chances of permanent residence and citizenship.

Sorry about your personal situation, but like others here said, you should have known that this was going to happen sometime down the road, and so it should NOT be a shock to you.  You say that your new situation is "poor."  Why?  I raised my two children on my own from the time they were small.  We maybe didn't have all the material things, but we had enough and I did a good job of raising them into decent human beings and we always had enough to eat and decent clothing and a roof over our heads.  I think you can do the same while you go through what all procedures you now need to go through to rectify your situation and try to help your children's father return through the legal channels.  You have no one to blame but yourselves - do not blame the government or the citizens of the USA for what you did to yourselves and to your own children.\n\nYes, we all realize that deportations are going to hurt some individuals, but there are laws to uphold and if we enforce those laws firmly and without exception, sooner or later people will stop getting themselves into the situation you are in right now.  We have to look at the "greater" betterment of the people of the USA and that includes not having illegal immigrants in the country.

Here's the deal.  Almost anyone who is currently in the US illegally can ask for and receive permission to legalize his status and apply for citizenship.  This will take months and months to process but he is allowed to freely live in the US during the process.\n\nThis is complicated to do but mostly in terms of the various forms to fill out, who you go see and the fact that he needs a hearing with immigration official.  What this basically means is that he needs to hire an immigration lawyer.  Note that everything he discusses with the lawyer is protected by attorney/client privilege.  It's a very common thing to do and well within the abilities of a competent immigration attorney.\n\nUntil he does this, he is very vulnerable to being deported.  Not saying people will deport him if he is discovered because in many municipalities they will not (even though this is against the law).  But, they have the right to.  Once he begins this process, they no longer have the right to.  Once his status is normalized, he is no longer a criminal fugitive.  Citizenship will be his eventually.  Just not in a timely manner.

You won't get into trouble but he is probably marrying you so that he can become a citizen. How well do you know him? He could even be married back in his own country. That happened to a friend of mine.

So, he has a conditional residency right now? If he does, and you guys got a divorce before the two years, he loses it. There's a reason they put conditions on it, they want to make sure the marriage was authentic and not just to get his residency. I don't know if there's anything he can do because this is going to look bad in the eyes of the BCIS. BUT you are the U.S. citizen, so it's more likely that the court will grant YOU the custody.

Get a lawyer or public defender - regardless what it costs. It depends on the crime - but generally - if he is in jail now - he either committed another crime - or they put him in there for jumping AR probabation - a violation of his terms. The fact you stated "he ran" means he had to report to a PO - and didn't - and knew he was committing another crime - as did you. A good lawyer could possibly have the extradition waived, in lieu o fjail time or probation in NM  - though that is not a guarantee. \nAnd when you get a lawyer - make sure you tell him everything - unlike here.

Doesn't Immigration ALWAYS consider individual circumstances before deportation?  In this case it sounds like he had the right to be here and just didn't file an extension which would have been automatic.  In that case and because he was in the military, absolutely I would personally not want him deported.\n\nI note that he stayed in Germany to take advantage of their free health care for his son with a heart condition, and as soon as he got back to North America he ran up to Canada to make sure his kids' paperwork was in place, but didn't take care of his own paperwork.  I totally understand that for the health care of his child he would want to exercise the kids' rights to Canadian citizenship and health care.  However, I wonder if there was some 'taking advantage of Canadian citizenship rights' that was somehow antagonistic to being a permanent resident here.  I don't see it in the article, though, so I hope he is not deported.\n\nI frankly think that so long as an alien is not 'undesirable' there should be an automatic path to residence through the military.  If they are willing to defend this country, I think the least we can do is welcome them to live in it.  However, that is not the law at the moment.

Ouch, sorry to hear that because you are going to get served with some pretty bad consequences.  Are you an illegal immigrant or an American citizen/legal immigrant that brought them over?  If you are the former you will probably just be deported.  If you are the latter you are probably going to jail.

He needs to go to the office of the Attorney General, Mr. Shurtleff.  He is pro-illegal and will cut through the red tape to get him a drivers license.  Mr. Shurtleff has been honored by the government of Mexico for his efforts to erase the borders.\n\nThe people of Utah have been duped by this man.  He has used his religion to fool the voters who have not yet realized his impact on bring illegals to the state.\n\nHe was also instrumental in bringing illegal laborors to the state house for construction on that building.\n\nThis information came to me by my brother who lives in Salt Lake City.  While the people there seem to be good people, they remain sadly innocent in their outlook on the world.  Because of their blindness, illegals have many rights in Utah.\n\nDoes that answer your question?

http://www.aila.org/\n\nHey RoseWithin; where did he say he was illegal?  He just asked for an immigration attorney.  Most legal immigrants need attorneys at some point in order to follow the rules.  We did!  Get off ya high horse.

My husband is in the same situation as you.   He is still waiting for his interview  and has been fingerprinted.   He has not even gotten his work permit yet.  He is bored also sitting  at home.   I tell him that it is just a process and soon you will get it.  You can go online to www.USCIS.gov to check the status of your case by the receipt number.
