Immigration law for convicted felon of domestic violence.?
914647
Any alien in the US who is convicted of a crime of domestic violence is deportable. Whether a given crime, even one called "domestic abuse" or "domestic violence", qualifies as a crime of domestic violence for immigration purposes depends on the specific wording of the d.v. law. If the conviction was for an aggravated felony, then the alien is deportable. If the conviction was for a crime involving moral turpitude with a possible sentence of more than 1 yr, then the alien is deportable. To find out if a conviction counts, talk to an immigration atty.

You can download the court forms for Domestic Violence restraining orders from the Sacramento County Superior Court or the California Courts Court Forms sites.  The Superior Court's website should say when the family law facilitator's office is open.  The facilitator's office helps persons who do not have an attorney complete the forms.  \nIn general, the more specific you are as to time, date, and exactly what happened (she struck my left temple with her right fist is a lot better than she whopped me upside my head) the more likely the court will grant you the orders.\nIf you want the court to issue orders the same day, you will have to give the wife notice, by telephone or in person, or explain, in the papers, why you did not give notice.  If you do it yourself, plan on a half day or more at court to complete the paperwork, and coming back the next day to ask for immediate orders.  Whether or not the court grants immediate orders, there will be a hearing in two to six weeks to determine if the orders should be extended.\nSimplest thing to do is hire an attorney to represent you both in making sure the paperwork is done right and in court so the evidence is presented right.

I like the last answer (above mine), and have some additional stuff to add.\n\nFirst: as a local cop, I have NEVER received training in what constitutes an illegal alien.  I have no idea what's allowed and what's not...work visas, travel visas, passports, green cards.  I don't even know where I'd find the laws on the subject, to try and educate myself.  I've never even seen any training that's available on this subject, and I'm the guy responsible for training at my department.\n\nSecond, I do have an awful lot of other things to worry about besides trying to deal with someone whose only offense is that he's here illegally.  Many of them work and support their families, and that's a hell of a lot more than most of the crackheads I deal with will ever do.  Sort of a matter of priorities.\n\nHaving said that, I would not hesitate to arrest an illegal alien if I knew how to work the case.  I arrest DUI's, dope dealers, and wife beaters all the time, because I know how to work those cases.  I don't know the first thing about working an illegal alien case.  \n\nAlso, our local jail is currently extremely overcrowded and I don't know that they would even accept someone for an immigration offense.  \n\nI would be very interested in knowing more about the entire situation, and how it would work in my jurisdicition.  However, the Feds aren't forthcoming with any training to educate me on the issue, so I suspect they're not especially interested in dealing with it, either.  \n\nBelieve me, I share your frustration.  I just don't know what to do about it.

The regulations are that they are deported to their country of origin.  If they are tried and sentenced for a crime it is for something other than just being in the USA without valid immigration documents.  My hunch is that the answer to your question is zero.

Options:\n\nCall local law enforcement.\nCall a lawyer.\nCall a womens shelter/womens rights advocate.\nCall a domectic violence hotline.\n\nDon't know how bad it is but if they are living together she should probably arrange a place to stay before doing this.  If the guy gets wind of it she may be in harms way again.\n\nA Domestic Violence Protection Order will also help her get things in order and him ordered to stay away or go to jail.

It sounds like a "No Contact Order." Which can be issued against a convicted abuser. The Prosecution would need to fear for your safety.\n\nIf this isn't the case. . .

Your local Home Security office.  Someone here from Texas did, and she said you have to be firm, because they will try to be rude and talk you out of it - but got people deported.

"Best" is subjective\n\nhere's how you find a lawyer:  there is a free service at www.martindale.com - click on Chicago and click on immigration attorneys\n\nThen, let your fingers do the walking\n\nI also recommend you look for the lawyers' memberships in various organizations such as immigration lawyers - that tends to show more interest in this complex field of law\n\nGood luck to you - we just went thru this with a Colombian adoption

Yes, Pancha. Felonies are serious crimes. A federal offense (ie; illegal border crossing) is considered a felony.

Generally, for a crime of moral turpitude such as assault, you will not be admissable into the United States.  Waivers are available depending upon which type of visa you desire.

I presume you have a good reason to have the person deported? Are they a terrorist or break one of our laws? If so call your local police. If that doesnt work call INS or the FBI.

Domestic Abuse was originated for the purpose of protecting women from abusive men. It was inttended for good but unfortunatley to many women abuse it in order to bias the courts in custody cases and all to often to get revenge. Almost always the courts will side with the plantiff even without any type of proof. I think this is outrageous and there should be a law to siignificatley punish anyone found to be abusing this law. If you are the person filing the charges then I request you be honest and fair. If you are the defendant bieng charge then I strongly suggest you seek a good attorney, however do no rely on them to get to the truth. You must do the research, get you witness, and document, document EVERYTHING, sorry to say if you are a male and charged with such a crime you are more likly than not to be convicted. I am a women myself and find it appalling than when it comes to most custody or divorce cases the so called equal rights ammendant does not count. Good luck to you whether you are the plantiff or the defendant. Remeber in the end truth may not be on your side with the law but will forever be God will prevaill your case if you tell the truth

Usually DV is only a felony if the injuries were severe.\n\nIn Kentucky, domestic violence is considered "Fourth Degree Assault".\n\nHopefully there will be a stiff penalty.

You're kind of a jerk, you know that? \n1 in 136 US citizens is incarcerated in either a jail or a prison and over 95% are ineligible for family visits. Such visits are only permitted in 5 states and not at all in Federal facilities.\nTo qualify for that privilege, the inmate must be eligible for release or parole within a specified time frame, must never have had any domestic violence charges (NOT convictions, CHARGES, even if those charges were dropped, dismissed or if he was found innocent at a trial) and must have a completely spotless disciplinary record within the prison... other requirement vary by state.\nEven when an inmate qualifies for family visits, the visitors must be immediate family (Spouses, children, stepchildren, parents or siblings) and must apply for approval to even be on prison property.\nFind something besides the misfortune of others with which to amuse yourself.

You definitely need to contact somebody... Try starting with your local DVACK shelter... DVACK is for domestic violence... Tell them that you are scared for yourself and your child and get a protection from abuse order, he won't beable to come near you or the baby, and you can get your court proceedings started from there. you definitely need to talk to your local SRS office and tell them you want to start the custody to make sure you have residential custody, because if you don't, he has every right to that child just like you do.  He will beable to take her and there is nothing you can do to get that child back until you go through court and ask for visitation. That can take months to do, if he gets the child before you start the proceedings,and no child should go months let alone days without seeing their mother. If you hurry and do that, if he does take the baby, they could then issue an Amber Alert and put his butt in jail! Good luck, but act FAST, seriously!!!!!!!
