Will I be deported?

Question

I have lived in America for 15 years now, but i am not really a permanent resident or a naturalized citizen. With all this talk of immigration laws and all that, is there a chance than I could be booted out?

My girlfriend (who is American) told me to apply for citizenship, but I want to make enough money here before I go back to my homeland. Plus, I want to take her with me. What are the odds?

I am from Jamaica

Answer 1

I don't think u'll be , just hang on for a couple of more months untill the new immigration bill becomes effective , there will be a "semi-amnesty" provision that will provide an advantage for illegals that are present in the country for a quiet a bit , like you , and gets you started to get on the right track of legalizing your residence.

Even if things didn't work out as planned , tell your Gf that with the new proposed Immigration forms' fee structure , getting a green card will take a lot less time than it used to , if that could potentially be a concern of her.

15 yrs is a while man. where have u been ?!!

Answer 2

If you are not a permanent resident and not a naturalized US citizen, what kind of visa do you have which entitles you to stay in the United States? If you don't have a valid visa, then you fall under the category of "illegal immigrant" and therefore, there is the chance that you can be deported.

Answer 4

of course you can be booted out. you've been here 15 years and you are not documented? how did u come here? u let a visa expire? u illegally entered? either way you risk the chance. you should have taken care of your immigration priorities years ago.

Answer 5

It doesnt matter how long you've lived here. I would apply for a legal resident. This way when you are ready to go back home you shouldnt have any problems.

Answer 6

Yes there's a chance. I just love how people want to just come here to take and not be a part of anything. Take and run. Makes me ill.

Answer 7

Absolutely.

If you are legally here it shouldn't impact you unless you commit a crime. If you are not legally here, of course you can be deported.
