Indian Shores, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Hello, In order to determine if you would be eligible for a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion, one would need to know more information about a person, such as whether they have any, and the type of criminal convictions, their length of stay in the U.S., their U.S. citizen and Legal Permanent resident relatives, their health, ties to the U.S., work or veteran history, any immigration violations, etc. These are some of the factors that would be considered by the Immigration Judge if you were to request that they exercise prosecutorial discretion and permit you to remain in the U.S. It is also not clear if you are currently in Removal Proceedings or if they have been completed and you have been ordered removed to your native country. Given that you are facing deportation or removal to Ecuador, you should contact an immigration lawyer immediately so that they can obtain the relevant information about your case and advise you on your eligibility for a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion and any immigration waivers. Notes: This information is of a general nature only and is not intended to be a substitute for legal advice. You should consult with an immigration attorney to obtain specific legal advice about your situation.

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.
