Petitioning for a voluntary deportee who did time for 2nd degree attempted murder

[indhiraastacio 38]

Hey lmao! I bet i got your attention. This question is from a family member who quite frankly is too old and doesn't know a thing about computers, let alone VJ. A permanent resident mother wants to petition for her son who signed a voluntary deportation after being in custody for 2nd degree attempted murder. He also has a mental illness (depression). He served two years in prison and deportation was five years ago. Does anyone think he has a chance? Feel free to be bold and frank.

Oh wait, for the curious minds a lil background on the arrest.

This guy was about 19 yrs old, hanging out with some friends getting drunk and high got into a fight with a guy who supposedly spit on his face, he got upset and stabbed the guy in the arm. The guy now has permanent damages. Also, since being in his country the deportee has been institutionalized twice and also uses drugs. Yes, he's a total mess.

So a deported felon with drug and psychological issues?

Why not let his Mother petition him if it makes her feel better, will be 7 or so years before the visa number becomes current and sounds like the situation will have solved itself by then.

Attempted murder would be a CIMT.

Chances are slim bordering on extremely remote.

Doesn't sound like he doesn't have a good chance. You've done your part (by helping him by researching options on here) but it sounds like even you knew that it his chances are slim to none existent.

She could petition him hoping beyond hope that the people that make the immigration laws decide all unlawful behavior puts you at the front of the line for a green card and a path to citizenship just like the idiots that give preference to those that jump the border.

Well let's look at it this way:

Marijuana use: 1 year ban from receiving visa

Mental health major issues: will require additional exam by panel psychologist

Attempted nurser: I honestly have no idea.

Lots to overcome, but nothing's impossible

A deported guy who served time in jail for attempted murder with mental illness is as close as it gets to automatic rejection on any kind of visa. So I am not sure if I will waste my money on applying. They have rejected visas for far less than this. Its just one step above a self declared terrorist applying for visa.

put yourself in the chair of the USCIS (DHS) waiver adjudicator....would you want your name on an approval? And really, how much 'hardship' could there be (realistically) for mom, by not having her totally messed up son sitting in a Barco-lounger next to her while she watches daytime soaps? What component of her life (besides missing this misfit) would be compromised if said son were not allowed into the US? I cannot think of a single one....certainly none that rises to the level of 'extreme hardship.'

Leave him where he is....for the safety of American citizens.

can you elaborate a lil more and the situation solving itself

he was being sarcastic. Nothing about this situation will resolve itself. This is a DIY site and this case is far beyond the reaches of DIY. And to be honest, he seriously doesn't have a snowball's chance in heck of ever getting back here. Thank God.

People with his lifestyle do not tend to have a long life expectancy.

You said it...he committed crime, served time and got deported. Think about that for a second. Do you think he stands a slim chance!?! Even if the mom petitions for him, they will run into the history nonetheless (felony, mental illness and deportation). From a legal point of view and my professional experiences with clients, I can't possibly imagine a citizen defending such a case before an immigration judge (they will be shut down so fast). This would cost a ton of $$$ and that's if an attorney is willing to take that impossible risk. Good luck!

I want to know what an attempted nurser is .... the quick visual when I read it was snort the coffee out of the nose funny
