Help Please Deportation proceedings
Well my husband is in deportation proceeding, I need a good lawyer and don't
know if the one i have is the best. can anyone please give some freindly
advice ? here's our story
Yesterday May 15th, I and my husband had the most horrendous experience at
the immigration office.
Let me start from the beginning, Four years ago this coming May I met the
most wonderful man, kind generous, loving, compassionate, caring, and
peaceful, no temper, not mean and wouldn�t hurt a fly. As time went by this
friendship turned into love and very much in love we are. We got married on
February 14th 2005. I have been married before twice, my fist marriage, I was
18 was one of the biggest mistakes I have made, he was an alcoholic and beet
me a few times ended up in a divorce. My second marriage I married a man from
Indonesia I believd everything he told me after we got married he changed, he
was very thretening to me and very mean to my children, not very dependable
and disapered for months onend. of course this ended in divorce also. For
twenty years now I�ve worked as a waitress providing for my four children, on
and off the welfare system paying taxes, not rich but get by. I�m a law
abiding citizen, I love my country. And I love my husband very much.
Before Muhammet came into our lives it was nothing but turmoil, I worked 60+
hours a week my children were babbyst by family, never had time with them, my
son is diagnosed with severe ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety
disorder, and bipolar disorder, his whole life he has been in and out of
institutions (not a very pleasant childhood) but I did what the professionals
advised me to do. And me being a single mom it was a very stressful life, I
became dependent on alcohol. I was in a downward spiral for years. Then I met
Muhammet and he is the best thing that has happened in our lives. He Has
taught us how to live and love life I no longer work 60+hours and I�m able to
be home with my children. Were I needed to be for years, and now I�m able to
do so, we brought my son home in the summer of 2005 and he has done wonderful
in school and at home, this has been the most successful year he has ever had
in school and at home. I no longer depend on alcohol to get by. Muhammet has
taught us so much, love friendship, peace and happiness, my children adore
him and my son wants in to adopt him, he loves him so much.
Well after we got married in Feb.2005 we went to a lawyer and filed all the
necessary documents for him to be a permanent resident (from Turkey) he got
his EADcard in June of 2005 and had interview at the immigration office in
September of 2005 that went very well but interviewer needed us to get a
joint sponsor, well needless to say we live on the eastern shore of va and it
is not to easy to find someone financially able to have the extra Burdon of
being financially responsible for another human being. We went to my parents
but they are barley getting buy and weren�t qualified, my brother just
started his own bus and wasn�t qualified, my brother in law was in the same
situation also, my sister and husband we going to help but the were in the
middle of adopting another child. I finally found a friend but that also fell
through. So my lawyer asked for a couple of continuants and I finally found
someone and turned in all the information needed I January of 2006, this was
the only thing we were waiting for.
April of this year we filed a renewal for his EAD card , because his would
expire in June of 2006 and we didn�t want that to happen, well we got a
approval letter stating that our application for employment authorization has
been APPROVED dated 05/02/06 and that he had an appointment on 05/15/06 at 10.
00am from Phyllis A Howard Interim District Director of Services , when we
got there my husband went in I had to stay in the car because I had left my
drivers license in my car but he new what to do and I made sure he had all of
the documents they asked for, after about ten minutes two agents came out to
our car and got me saying Muhammet need me because he couldn�t understand
what they where telling him. When I went inside they took me back to a room
were my husband and another agent were sitting. And they handed me another
letter stating that his application for residencies had been denied I almost
passed out totally floored I was hysterical the told me they were going to
send my husband back to Turkey, or we could go in front of a judge and have
him determine the case, they told me that we would have to pay $5000 in fines
and his bail would be $5000 you couldn�t imagine what was going through my
head thank god our lawyer was there at an interview with another client. And
she came back immediately and had all the fines dropped and released on his
own recogenence promising he would show up in court on the date they send us.
I feel this was entrapment, we came for an appointment that they scheduled,
that was the worst experience of my life I was so scared and so was he they
put shackled on his feet and processed him as thought he was a hardened
criminal. Then began to interrogate me asking about our age different trying
to turn me against the man that I truly love and he loves me as well, I am a
us citizen pay my taxes vote how can my country do this to one of there own
people I thought this was the land of the free but im not free to marry whom
I choose and is not allowing me a united states citizen to have her
constitutional rights. There taking my rights away from me and my children
you are telling me who I can�t and can love ,honor and cherish what kind of
freedom is that.
My husband entered the United States legally, he did however overstay his
visa but now for over a year now he has been trying to make it right and
doing everything the immigration office has asked. The only hold up was the
joint sponsor and believe me these days with how messed the economy is that
is a hard task to do but I did finally found a kind heart to do that. When we
go in front of the judge and my husband does get deported this will not only
be going against my constitutional rights it would be violating my children�,
my parents, my sisters, my brothers, my sister in-laws, my brother in-laws,
my nieces and nephews and all our friend that absolutely adore my husband.
And no telling what affect it would take on my children are you going to send
my son on another downhill spiral back to an institution? Me back to the
bottle? Back to welfare? Let alone how much it�s costing the government to do
all of this. This just doesn�t affect him, me and the children it affects the
entire community and state. Please I�m pleading for help I love my husband
and he loves me Please do not take him from my family
Does anyone have any knowledge of Jim Tom Haynes immigration lawyer? He's
from Arlington Va

Re: Help Please Deportation proceedings
I am so sorry for what happenned to you and your husband. I am sure the overstaying is not the reason why he was denied as long as he entered the US legally. I know alot of people who overstayed for even years and when they got married to a US citizen they were forgiven.
Maybe its the joint affidavit of support... who knows... but atleast its not yet dead end... you will still be on court preceding...it means you still have a chance to depend your case.
I dont know if a letter from your congressman will help.
Goodluck. .
