I am helping a friend from the UK regain a temporary visa ONLY to perform in the united states, not for extended time or residency. He is a world renowned singer who was sent back to the UK in 1994 after a conviction.
In 1994, he was charged with 2 counts of California Penal Code 273.5(a) corporal injury to spouse/cohabitant/child's parent (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) and 1 count of assault with a deadly weapon. He was CONVICTED and pled guilty to 1 felony count of California Penal Code 273.5(a) corporal injury to spouse/cohabitant/child's parent (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) and served 90 days at the LA jail. Unfortunately it IS a crime of moral turpitude, but it was before the strict immigration laws imposed in 1996. His visa expired 2 days before release and he was sent back.
I have spoken to various attorneys and they all give a different story. I believe they are looking for money because of who my friend is. I do not know who to believe. What would be the most logical course of action to get him admissible for a month or two?
Thanks in advance.
