Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

The ten-year punishment can be given for two different reasons: One for having spent more than a year undocumented inside the country, the other for having a deportation.

Undocumented Reentry

If you leave the U.S., and spend ten years outside the country, after those ten years you no longer need a waiver, either for the deportation or for the previous undocumented stay. The problem is when you leave and re-enter undocumented. That undocumented re-entry is the one that will cause you, even if you spend the ten years out of the country, to need to request sorry (I212 or I601).

This is a subject that can be complicated for people who do not have the knowledge, experience or education. The point is that you need a waiver, because there is a penalty. It can be for a deportation or undocumented stay. You should consult with your attorney.

Immigration Lawyers

There are many lawyers who tell you "if you don't have the suffering you won't be able to qualify". I advise you not to hire an inexperienced lawyer. We, having done thousands of pardons over 20 years, know that the suffering for a pardon does not have to be physical, we can document it with a psychological or psychiatric evaluation. Such an evaluation can be the suffering of a family separation, for example, which will have emotional consequences. That legal basis serves us to win pardons.

We would like to help you make strong pardons, only if they are necessary. Forgiveness leads to residency.
