Need some help/advice PLEASE

[FERNANDO85]

Here is my story and hopefully sombody is in my same shoes or close to it.


I was brought to USA since i was little, I went to elementary, junior, high school, some college. I came in with a tourist visa. Now im married to an US Citizen(she was born in texas).

I been lookin for different ways to get my green card, but the problem is that i wasd deported about a year ago while i was in South Padre Island. Me and a friend went for a night out he wasnt suppost to drink, because he was goin to be the designited driver) but decited to have 3 beers. We got pulled over and gave him a DUI(he is a citizen) and put me in jail for public intoxication, from there i was deported. I cross the border with my driver license(which is legally) and no more questions.

So, the problem in hand is that I don't know if they might use that against me or would my good grades, never been in trouble, "good citozen" behavior help me out?


I appreciate all the help in advance.

the USCIS will hold your illegal presense in the States against you. That is the illegal presense that you have accumulated after you have reached 18 years of age. If that illegal stay is over 1 year, then you will be barred from entering the States for 10 years from the last time you left the US. Good luck. If since then you have also entered illegally, you will not be able to ajdust status.

"good citizen" behavior help me out?

what good citizen behavior? you were an illegal alien who got deported for public intoxication.
