Can someone who is out of status here in the US get f2 visa

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
To obtain a change of status to F-2, the applicant must be in valid nonimmigrant status. U.S.C.I.S. does make a few exceptions, but the rule of thumb is that the privilege of change of status requires the maintenance of a current immigration status.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Deported US citizen back to Jamaica, can he return eventually??

Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
If he was deported because his conviction qualified as an "aggravated felony" then he is barred for life from returning to the US.  The only chance of return would be to challenge his criminal conviction collaterally.  This requires hiring a lawyer that specializes in post-conviction relief in the jursidction in which he was convicted.  Even if the conviction is overturned, there is no guarantee the result will allow him to return, but it is the only hope such individuals have.
