I hired an immigration attorney and, when it looked like I might get a bad verdict from Immigration, I left the country. Now I am considering marrying an American citizen. Actually, she is the mother of my child, who is also an American. If I hadn't viloated laws, I know I'd be in good shape. But I am worried that we won't be able to live in the States. Thank you for your help.

you can hire someone to FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) your file before filing the new petition. You may spend around $500 for it. With the information in hand, you can filed the new petition and get your greencard. You will spend around $2500 + USCIS fees of around $765.

You really need a LAWYER!! And sooner than later. Unfortunately, if you've broken the law, there is a good chance you won't be able to get a new green card. Your wife can petition for you but with your record, you can count on it taking longer than usual and for the two of you to go through A LOT more questioning and interrogation.
Good luck.

Dude,
You are really screwed. You might as well try living in Canada or somewhere else.
I had a friend who just went back home to Holland for a visit, and didn't notify immigration. When she came back into the country they handcuffed her and sent her back to Holland. She had to wait a year to even come back and pick up her belongings.
She finally got a job with NATO and can now travel here again.

So, pick up the phone, and try to make it right. Illegal immigration's getting to be a hot issue, too many people have abused the system for too many years...
