Default Need some advice for Family Member

Someone in my family was deporated about a year and a helf ago. He was deported because of a criminal conviction, it was an aggravated felony, non violent, but aggravated because of the amount of money involved and the imprisonment was 20 months. In fact, he was picked up by INS 1 year after being released from prison, he went in for a citizen ship appointment and was picked up 2 weeks later. He is 50+ years, was in the US 18 years before deportation, no prior convictions, his wife and 2 children, and 2 brothers are US citizens...What are his options? He was told he was banned for 20 years, is there ANY way he can at least get a visit visa? He wants to come back for his daughters wedding, can this happen? How long can this process take? And what is the best way to get the process started?? Does he start at the US embassy in his country? or should his children petition it for him at the US embassy in his country? Please help...

USCIS don't like aggravated felony or anything "felony", that's a red flag from the beginning! and especially anything being detained in local or federal agencies for amount of time...it could of been a month later or a year later, this could happen! Something triggered when he applied for citizenship as well, unless if he lied on the application itself or if he did tell the truth about some felony charges!

He felt that telling the whole truth and giving INS all the documents relating to his case could help him, but INS used it against him. Some of the documents given were not needed by INS. Regardless of what happend, where do we stand now?? Can we do anything to help him at this point??

An experienced immigration lawyer may have some ability to file on an exceptional basis but it is not going to be easy given the facts you have stated.

You might be able to seek certain hardship exceptions but I agree you should have skilled legal counsel involved--at this point.
