Answered by attorney Giselle Ayala Mateus
Immigration lawyer at G.A.M. Law Office P.C.
No one gets automatically deported after overstaying his visa and no I-130 is guarantee of status or a successful case. However, an I-130 can be used to avoid deportation. If a person files an I-130 before a deportation proceeding starts, that is good, because any immigration case started after a deportation proceeding starts puts all the burden of proof on the defendant (the person facing deportation). That said, it is worth noting that an overstay makes a case more complex that usual because a person may need a waiver of unlawful presence.

Will my boyfriend need a letter of invite if he is from Afghanistan and he wants to come visit me in the US?

Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
That is unclear, since the U. S. Consular Official must presume immigrant intent for every applicant who files a non-immigrant visitor visa. The applicant must 'overcome the presumption' of immigrant intent, which depends upon whether the consular official believes that the applicant will return to their home country before the expiration of the authorized stay. Also, a decision may depend upon whether your boyfriend is otherwise inadmissible for other reasons. Good luck.
