Can I apply for re-entry into the US? 3 Answers as of December 30, 2011
I was deported in 1992 on the basis of drug conspiracy. I was in possession of a green card and I accepted a plea bargain of 2 years in state prison and was then deported . I was given a 5 year ban but it has now been nearly 20 years and I also have 5 kids in the US and my parents. So what are my chances of re-entry?Free Case Evaluation by a Local Lawyer!

Your complete immigration and criminal history would need to be assessed to properly advise you. A non-immigrant waiver 212(d)(3) may be your best option rather than an immigrant visa depending on the severity of the drug crime. You would also need to qualify for a non-immigrant visa of some type.

The question is whether you would be admissible. The five years has run, but your conviction could nonetheless make you ineligible for an immigrant and/or non-immigrant visa. To properly assess the matter we would need additional information regarding your criminal conviction and the grounds of your deportation.

It might be possible for you to request to re-enter, but you have now lost your LPR status. Even if you have another option to immigrate, you would likely need a waiver. You should talk to an immigration attorney and show more complete information to explain your situation.
