Hello.

let me begin, on march 3 of 1998 i was arested for trying to transport marijuana into the united states (bigest mistake of my life). I was found gulty went to jail for fifty days then was transfered over to ins.

here is were the problem is, i signed for the deportation.

(back story)
i was born in mexico in 1975. my mother brought me to america when i was three years old. my entire life i've lived in america. all my education american. my way of thinking american. every major thought that i have has been inspired or created by the american way of life. i love america.

so why did i sign the diportation pappers?
because I wanted out. (i know that there is alot of people who are faceing years that would tell me I should have just waited) because I was week. when i was at ins detention center all the other inmates would talk like if they knew every thing and some did but other where just mean. so they fill my head with the likelyhood of spending up to a year in a federal detention center, i panic'd. i got deported for life.

know I'm married and have a beautiful little girl. I have been in and out of the US since my deportation. got arested a few times too. dui, resisting arrest, driving with out a liecence. i did not do any time for any of them.

we moved to tijuana about two months ago.
(thee thing is being in the US was, is great but if i'm illigal then what future can i possibly have?
what can i do to home come?

i am very sorry to hear that. i wish i had answers as i am looking for some kind of answers myself. my brother is currently serving a sentence for a theft crime he is due to get out next month but the ins has lodged a detainer against him so what happens now after his release date.
he has been visited by immigration with a notice to appear signed for that but refused to sign to waive his deportation. i wish there was some chance he could stay and he will be very far from us in the united kingdom. please if you know of anything let me know as i am depressed about this whole mess. thanks julie

thanks for your reply. the best thing I tell you is to tell your brother not to sign the deportation. from my own expireance, when he gets to ins he will be giving an option to sign and they deport him with in a few days.

if he does not sign he gets the oportunity to defend himself against the deportation. however they will not give him a free lawyer. if he desides to fight the deportation he can see if he can post bail, and fight his case from with in the usa. i hope things work out for your brother.

thanks for responding well i can't afford an attorney for him but i do know he will not sign his deport paper i beleive he will try to fight it if he has a chance. there is really not much chance when they classify you as an aggrevated felon and you get no bond you stay incarrcerated which is so unfair. thanks for listening and maybe something good will come about.

koboh,
I hope it is ok that I am going to ask some personal questions?
When was the last time you re-entered illegally?
Did they not charge you with illegal re-entry?
Do you have any info on being charged with illegal re-entry after deportation?
Thanks in advance!

My husband is in the same situation, we live here in Mexico also, and my daughter and I don{t mind, but my husband cant{ stand it. I don{t think you did anything wrong, they were going to deport you no matter what you did. If you commit an aggravated felony, which pretty much anything drug related is, you are deported, no matter what you do, go back and read the papers they gave you with the boxes on them that you had to sign to be deported and right there it states the law, and time length and why. someone here at the consulate told me to have my husband apply for a visa like nothing had happened and then during the interview when the say, that you have a conviction, ask the for a "waiver" if the approve to the waiver, you continue on the road to getting your visa, not papers to work. I{m going to start the process also, but we are always short on cash, if you are living on pesos, it is pretty time consuming and spendy,
Luck to you...

bendita,
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN MY BROTHER IS MY LIFE AND I WOULD HATE FOR HIM TO GET DEPORTED BACK TO BRITIAN. DO YOU KNOW IF HE QUALIFY FOR A BOND OR NOT AND IS IT USUALLY HIGH. THANKS
