just because he got an American girl pregnant does not give him a free pass. sounds like America is about to be rid of another criminal illegal alien.

If the authorities already have things in place, nothing can be done to keep him here, even if he has a wife and children who are US citizens. This is a very common story. If he had an immigrant visa (Green Card), he would still face deportation since he is not a US citizen. Even if his parents did not help him to get naturalized citizenship, he could have sought amnesty or applied when he became of age. Like the numerous other people who have been deported, he most likely will not be able to return since he will not be granted a visa to reenter the US because of his criminal record. He will have to provide his address and means of contact so that the family can stay in touch with him. His wife and kids, of course are free to go and visit him in his country or maybe even arrange to move there to live with him. She should contact a reputable immigration lawyer to look into this situation.

You didn't say whether your sister is a citizen. I get the feeling that English is your second language. That leads me to think that your sister is not a citizen. If she was, she should be able to keep her husband in the country. If he is deported because of a crime, he will have a difficult time returning any time soon. You mentioned the children. I assume that they were born in this country. If so, they could petition to have their father return once they are old enough, probably 18.

He can't be deported if he has a ssn #. That would be he is a citizen of the US. The govt can't take that away from him once they have made him a citizen. I think your confused. Plus he is married to an American and has children that were born here. He wont be deported over a "little" crime.

I am going to go against the grain a bit here, but, I sympathize EMPHATICALLY with your sister and her children. The children here are, in fact, the victims. And, while the other posters seem to care very little about the impact that his absence will have on them economically, perhaps they would care to think that if the sister can not afford 3 young children on her own, government dollars will be spent to support these children, when their father had a good paying job. That is the loophole in the system.
With that being said, he will not be allowed to legally re-enter the United States. However, I know people that have been deported repeatidly. They just come back across illegally again. The reality is this: our government is trying to put a band-aid on a bullet wound, so to speak. The border is as fluid as ever, and, children (American citizens) are being left in the wake - without parents and, posing a financial drain on our economic system
I apologize that you came here for support and found ridicule. If you can afford one, please contact an immigration attorney immediately. Please give your sister my best wishes, and, hug her children a little closer. THeir lives are about to fall apart.

He is not here legally at 18 years old it was his job to ensure he had the correct papers, that is why is is getting deported. For his 'stupid little crime' it will affect him getting valid status, and limit the chances of him being approved for a visa/green card as he has been thrown in jail. He must of been aware that he did not have the papers, as you need them to get a SSN, a Driving license, to go to school or college, to get a job. It would appear it has caught up with him, so unless he gets a good lawyer he will be removed.
If your sister is a legal, then she can apply to support him but with the criminal record his chances are very limited.

You must obtain a divorce before you can remarry. Otherwise, you are committing bigamy, a felony which can get you deported, even if you immigrated legally. Committing a felony will bar you from obtaining citizenship even if you are not deported. Go back to Guatemala and obtain the divorce since your spouse is in Guatemala and you married there. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain the divorce in the US since your spouse must appear in court after being properly served, and it could take a number of years if you can do it at all. The fastest, cheapest and easiest route to divorce lies in Guatemala.

I don't think they will deport him (depends on the crime.) Your sister has to prove they were married BEFORE the crime was committed or at least before he was actually caught and accused of the crime. If they were married after, he could probably get deported.

well they are going to send him back to his country theirs no doughty about it, because number one he is not a us citizen yet, i think after a man or woman marries a us citizen they have to Waite a year or two before he can get their citizenship papers, but in his situation is kinda crazy because if he committed a crime then he does ant have a chance to come back in the us for a very long time but don't take my word for it make phone calls search the web don't give up!, if the worse comes then you re sis can make the dissension of doing whats best for her and the kids sad to say!, but right now she just need some family support.

Well, that's just the risk your sister should have thought about before marrying someone that is in this country illegally. Good luck to your sister getting him back over here, but I'm glad he's being deported, it shows that our laws are being somewhat enforced.

I thought if an American citizen married someone from a non-American the non-American automatically got resident status?
Did something change or isn't your sister a legal alien either?
