Wife Was Previously Deported From Jordan

[Jason and May 69]

Hey all, 

 

My wife and I have been putting together our visa application packet, and I was talking to her recently about starting to gather documents far ahead of time that will be needed down the road. She's previously lived and worked in Jordan and Qatar (Jordan about 7 years, Qatar 2 years). It turns out she was deported from Jordan a little over 4 years ago for overstaying her work visa. She's very nervous now, perhaps as she should be. We're in the process of obtaining her police clearance certificates from each country--or background, as the case may be. 

 

I'm having a difficult time finding information on this, and short of paying an attorney for a consultation, I thought I'd stop in and ask here: Does anyone have any feedback on whether deportation for an overstay from another country--not the U.S.--bars May, my wife, from a U.S. visa and green card? 

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Jason

No it doesn’t. Nothing to worry about

This is a non-issue unless it appears as an arrest on her police report.  Then, probably still not an issue.
