hello all,
it's my first time here so i'm not sure if what i'm asking has been covered before.
my husband was caught on dui and now on immigration hold. he came with false passport in 1994 and was detained/interviewed at the airport but was let go to return for immigration hearing in a few months. he made a mistake on the date and showed up a day late. he did not know he got exclusion in absentia and his lawyer did not tell him either. he got his ss and work permit so he thought everything was okay.
we got married in 1996 and got a lawyer to change his refugee status. that's when we found out about his exclusion. we filed for motion to appeal but was denied in 1997. we finally did get i130 approved in 2001 but that's about it.
ice agent finally talked to him after he's been in jail a month. he was told that he will serve his time for dui and then ice will pick him up and will go from there. can someone give me some input on what will happen to him on this immigration hold? we have a son and we really don't want to break up our family. is there anything i can do/file so he can stay? i really appreciate any help.
