I have just had the most frustrating, angry,....I can't even come close to the terms or words I want to use for what was said and happened to me today. Here is what happened and what I need help with....if any has any ideas PLEASE let me know. I am not going to sit down and take this :argh I received a phone call early this morning from a friend that said my husband had called him yesterday to tell him they were moving him and deporting him to Cuba. They collected his property from him and took him away. I called INS, talked to the agent that is in charge of his case and the BS started....He said that Juan had been moved to another facility and he doesn't really know why. He thinks it's because his review is being done. He said that his property should have been sent with him. I called the old jail and they said it was sent, I called the new jail to verify that he was there (don't trust INS) and they said he was. Ok...at least I know where he is at. Now comes the part that sent me up the wall. I asked the agent that if Juan were to be flown to Cuba, would I be notified. he said no, I do not figure into the picture. He said that if Juan were to ever be deported I would never be contacted. I have no rights to my husband. I told him that was not an acceptable answer and wanted to know who I could talk to get this problem resolved. He said he was the end of the line...I couldn't talk to anyone else. However, by the end of the conversation I did get his supervisor's name and number (however, all I got was an answering machine)....Now, I am going to fight this. I am his wife and I do have rights to my husband. I am kind of afraid to rock the boat on this because it might hurt Juan, but yet I don't want this system to make me feel like I am nothing. Any suggestions on how to protest this?
Thanks for listening...........:pissed:

I copied this into this forum because it deals with immigration as well as husbands in prison. (In case you noticed two of the same thread)

:( Hi out there i have a problem which i need some help on. My boyfriend and father of my 2 yr old is in San Quentin state prison he just got there about 2 to 3 months ago i want to get married with him i'm a born citizen of the U.S and my question's are the following...How can i get married with him? How long does it take to marry him? What do i have to do to marry him?... Know i have another situation when he goy transfer to San Quentin before that he had a I.N.S hold which he probably does still so i want to know if i get married with him can he stay in the country? Can i pay some kind of I.N.S bail so he can stay here? Can he fix papers to become legal in the U.S? please help my a young mother and he's been the majorty of time in county jail untill know that he is in prison which it breaks and teers my heart PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! :o

You can marry him, but it will not help him stay in this country. It would depend on his crime. INS is heartless they care not for anyone. In there eyes they are criminal aliens and do not want anything to do with them except deport them back to the county they came from. This and all the stories here are heart breaking. My husband is due out in 154 days and will be deported to Mexico. I am going there to live with him. I am not smater than anyone, but I am older and I have had to take care of my self before I met him so I know how. You should try and figure out how you will take care of yourself because it may be a long time before you see him again. And if he had a hold in jail he has one in prison. He will have to finish his sentence and then INS with deport him. Good luck I know its a mess and you are feeling so bad right now. We have all been there.

INS is rude. They won't tell you when anyone is being deported. Securtiy they say. You will be lucky if he can get to a phone before they take him, don't count on it, they just come and take them. its awful. As far as I am concerned they are heartless and could care less for them or there family. I did not think Cuba excepted anyone back. If not he may be in for a long haul in detention. I hope what ever his crime was he will at some time be able to fix his papers and stay here. But its not always possible. my husband is out in 154 days and we leaving to live in Mexico. Its there with him or here alone. good luck and keep on INS they hate it when people really do care!!!

when my husband was deported I didnt get a call from anyone "official".. I was lucky enough that one of the other guys he was locked up with had his wife call me and let me know that the day was finally here and they were deporting him.. this gave me enough time to contact his family in Morocco to let them know to start asking a lot of questions on their end because I didnt want him to just show up there (after being gone for over ten years) and disappear somewhere in the jail system there... thank goodness his brother was able to pick him up from a police station somewhere there.. i followed him 3 weeks later for an extended visit and the strangest thing happened...someone called us in Morocco saying they were with homeland security and if i gave them all the information on my husband's case then he could come back and stay in the US.. I'd done enough research to know this was all crap and basically told them to go to hell.. the next day I called our immigration attorney in the US and he said no one called him about my husbands case... anywhoo.. sorry i veered so far off the subject.. but to answer the question.. no one from the jail will call you... set up some system in advance so that when he does go that someone he's in there with will call you somehow.. we got lucky that way...

Thats a great idea. I have this in place when my husband is taken out for his medical treatments and if he does not return then his friend calls. Now I will tell him to have his friend call me when he is taken my INS. In case he does not get to call.

just knowing we had someone in place to call gave me a little piece of mind... the funny thing is when he was deported they flew him home first class...lol.. after spending three and a half years locked up in county jail (yes... county) his first experience was on a first class flight with all the perks... i dont understand ins at all

my husband is being deported cuz he over stayed his visa and i have sent money to a lawyer western union and they never pick up the money and when he went to court today because he had no lawyer the judge decided to deported he told the that was unacceptable the judge gave him a paper to fill to appeal and i hope it works so we can be together.

Chardju sorry to hear you are still fighting this. I never want anyone to just give up, but sometimes its like hitting a wall and going nowhere. We have 152 days left and everyone of them I am praying he is deported. I want him free even if he has to live in his country. this prison time has been a nightmare. All prayers accepted!!!
