Can I ask immigration to let me go back or can my son ask for me? 10 Answers as of January 25, 2012
I got to the US when I was 9 years old. I had my green card and also I passed the test to US Citizenship, but when I went to the oath they didn’t let me swear. They took my green card because a problem I had before, but I was on probation, since I was never in jail when the Immigration and Naturalization Service got me. I sing my own volunteer deportation which I know it was a big mistake. They gave me 10 years punishment. My son is 20 and in the army. Can he ask for me or I can go back over my 10 years are done. I would like to know if someone can help me please. In my country I have worked for call centers with good recommendations.Free Case Evaluation by a Local Lawyer!

Your story is confusing. Why would you sign voluntary deportation? What do you have on your criminal record is the main question you need to answer before an attorney can answer your question.

Obviously this forum can only give you so much information. I think that your problem is one that you need to make the time to speak one-on-one with an attorney before you do anything. If this is important to you, then you will find a way to get the right information given your specific set of circumstances.

You should not have gotten a 10 year bar since you were voluntarily deported, that must have been a mistake. You should contact an attorney asap to see what was done exactly in your case and how you can remove it. Once it's removed your son can petition for you to come back.

Your son could petition for you once he turns 21. However, whether you would be eligible for an immigrant visa and what steps would have to be taken would depend a lot on the reasons immigration denied your entry to the oath ceremony and took away your green card.

It is not usual to get a 'voluntary deportation' at the door of citizenship. What was the crime? Your son can petition you when he reaches 21 years old.

depending on exactly what was the "problem", your son (if he is USC) may petition you after he reaches 21. If you have aggravated felony conviction, you may not come back. You cannot come back yourself as you do not have any legal status in the US based on your email.

Your explanation is unclear. However, your US citizen son can sponsor you when he is 21. If the 10 year period is the bar, you may be able to reduce the bar to a shorter waiting period once he sponsors you.

Your son would have to petition for you. You cannot just go back on your own if your green card was taken away since you have no basis for just going back.

It sounds like you misrepresenting a criminal issue to DHS. You need a competent immigration attorney to look at two items: the misrepresentation and its bar; and also to analyze your conviction to see if it has any bars as well. If you cannot locate someone there, have your son seek a full consult in the US. He will want to have your criminal record from the court and a copy of any immigration documents that you have, in regards to your immigration history (entry dates, status, etc.) and deportation.
