I was wondering how long it would take my boyfriend to recieve an H-1B work visa through his engineering company that will be sponcering him.

Background:
He was brought to America when he was two years old. The entire time he was here he always thought he was born here. He raised here his whole life. He graduated just recently with a bacholors degree in mechincal engineering and then something terrble happen to his family and his parents were deported. He was then told he would have to leave as well and left the country before he wouldve been deported. He is 22 years old and knows only American customs and his life was here. How long could it take for him to return if he even can. Please tasteful comments as this is a hard time for the both of us.

Answer 1

it is different in all cases :)

Answer 2

The sins of the parents are heaped upon the children. This is a prime example of the human cost of illegal immigration. If his parents had only not broken the law, and instead immigrated legally like so many other Indian families...

Answer 3

Section 212 a9B2 of the Immigration and Nationality Act applies to your boyfriend:

"(B) 13/ ALIENS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT.-

(i) In general.-Any alien (other than an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence) who-

(I) was unlawfully present in the United States for a period of more than 180 days but less than 1 year, voluntarily departed the United States (whether or not pursuant to section 244(e)) prior to the commencement of proceedings under section 235(b)(1) or section 240, and again seeks admission within 3 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal, or

(II) has been unlawfully present in the United States for one year or more, and who again seeks admission within 10 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal from the United States,is inadmissible. "

So he cannot return to the US for 10 years.
