Well, I wish you both well, and I hope it all works out for the best. (F)

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Is my husband pretty much inadmissable?

Would it help if he got the misdemeanors

expunged?

Expunged or not is not the question, USCIS and then DOS are well aware of his record since it caused his deportation.

Additionally, he will have to check the box saying he was convicted before on the DS230, later on, and explain the situation.

A violation of the laws concerning controlled substances makes him inadmissible for life (under INA §212(a)(2)(A)(i)(II)), and the waiver (212(h)) is only available for a "single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana". This implies that even possession of small quantities of any other substance makes him ineligible for the waiver itself.

You really need to talk to a lawyer.

I don't think a lawyer could've explained it to me much better.

I know my options now I think.

Thank you.

You know, I'm not giving you legal advice and I just quoted the immigration laws, but maybe a lawyer could tell you if there's a way around it and what could be done.

I read here multiple times that some good immigration lawyers give free consultations, if I were you I would give it a try, to hear professional advice on your case.

Even if there was a way around it, we

can't afford a lawyer.

At least I have a chance to become a

British citizen :thumbs:
