hi everyone,
what i want to know is this if you are barred from the united states due to being deported can you apply to other countries for entry or will your immigration barr follow you from the us. thanks

It depends on the country and usually has to do with the fact that you are a convicted felon not that you were deported. Are you inquiring about visiting or moving there and what country/s?

Some countries have a two year ban, meaning you would have to wait 2 years to apply for a passport to leave, or enter.
that is just from my experience.

;)

ok thankyou for your posts but i thought when you get deported from one country that record does not follow you as other laws don't applt in that country.

i thought that too, my husband was deported to the Tongan Islands, as soon as we got there we looked into relocating to New Zealand or Australia. On both the applications they mentioned a two years ban if you have been deported from another country. So it could vary from one country to another, the best thing to do would be to check the immigration rules for each country. I hope that helps.

Right-o, "Tin of worms" this. In respect to U.S. ("Land of the free") (Editorial comment) Is amongst the worst as far as "Prior records". (Felony convictions are considered de facto valid irrespective of what/where/why/how).

Indeed, the U.S. secures and maintains (Illegally) records on foreign nationals in order to "Deny undesirables" visa/visiting. (i.e. Your opinion is not welcomed by the regime)

Canada, Australia, can be "Case-by-case", IF (Note the "IF") one has knowledge of procedure involved.
(Somewhat byzantinian in nature)

Pity is; most in this status cannot afford the sheer $$$$$/£££££ needed to "Fast-track" themselves.

As you might discern from my name, I am not native to states, thus this has been a subject of some importance to me.

Will share what I know per any enquiry.

This is the skinny on getting into Canada with a record. There are three classes they
consider. First, there is the class of minor offence (summary, corresponds roughly to
a misdemeanour conviction). You have to wait five years. If you have more than one
summary conviction you move to the next class, which also includes indictable (roughly felony) convictions, you have to wait ten years. If you have a major felony (e.g., homicide, rape, etc.) or more than one indictable conviction you must petition the Minister of Justice directly, for which the fee is one thousand dollars. If he deems you rehabilitated you can get permission to enter Canada. All times are after completion of sentence and/or other holds (probation, parole, etc.). For purposes of detemining if you are within the time limit be aware that arrests are considered convictions, no matter what the outcome in court.

Now, here is the real shocker. The law in Canada is clear and is the law. Unlike in
the US where the bureaucrats do whatever they like, in Canada they actually do what
the law requires them to do. However, just to keep them honest, it is best to engage
an attorney.
