Did you come here with your parents? If so, are they still here, and when did they become citizens?

You need to provide more details on charges and the reason you were sentenced to prison. If the charges were federal and you were convicted of those charges, you have very small window.

President Obama announced changes to Department of Homeland Security policy that would allow certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children the opportunity to apply for a two-year stay that would shield them from deportation. Under the proposal, illegal immigrants under 30 years of age who came to the America illegally before they were 16 will be protected from deportation and can apply for a two-year work visa (which can be renewed indefinitely) given that they have lived in the United States continuously for at least five years, have not committed any crimes, have a high school diploma (or GED equivalent), or have served (or are currently serving) in the military.

If he is a USC the situation is moot.

Otherwise presumably he is able to stay or move elsewhere. If the situation in his home country changes and they are able to deport him, they will.

There is a documentary on this particular issue. There are so many Cambodians out there who faced deportation. Please watch the documentary and you will get all your answers. I think they have about 4 to 5 stories covered.

If his dad became a citizen when he was age 6 , his dad needs to pay an atty to visit immigration and show them documents to prove it, there's a 23 yr old in Louisiana charged with drugs, done 6 mths & picked up by ICE to be deported she was also very pregnant, they was about to put her on the plane when mom turned up with atty and showed citizenship since the girl was 12 yrs, they had to take her off the plane, today she works at a company on northside of Houston, mom was not married,they will snap U up and spiral U out if U do not address asap.....coming back is next to never

Not to sound negative but you're fighting an uphill fight. Are you sure that your parents didn't get to America and not listed as a spouse? Go try to find old paperwork (1-94's) showing names listed and relationship to each other. Secondly, find proof of your fathers citizenship and something establishing you and him as son and father. Last, get a lawyer. Like i said. you are fighting an uphill battle. I know a few people who have been deported and some have panned out and looked at it as a second chance at life. At least their not rotting in a prison.

I've only seen one person beat he system and get pardoned by a Gov of his state. That was a fella in Washington State. He showed that he have turned his life around and he deserved to stay here in America. He didn't have a long criminal record. He is one of hundreds that were on the list.

There are plenty of documentaries on youtube and one on netflix. You basically need a judge to stop the order and give you a second chance at staying. They haven't stopped many orders. You committed a crime, went to prison, shipped to ice after and you signed your papers knowing that if they ever passed a law sending Khmers back to Cambodia, they would come after you. Only immigration lawyers can give you counsel and represent you properly just to be heard. Good Luck
