Q: Me and my husband have been married for 3 years and we have twin daughters who are US husband got arrested for assaulting and he has to serve till July 11, 2005.

Now he has lost his work visa and on July 11th when he'll get released he'll be picked up by the immigration authorities and they are going to deport him to India as he is an Indian citizen.

My question is how long do they take to deport him once they take him into their custody ? Is there a way to avoid deportation ? Since we've kids who are US citizens we want to come back to US in the future. If they deport him he wouldn't be able to come back to US since he has to waive all his rights to come back to US. So if any one knows what to do in this situation please advice me.

A: You should contact an experienced immigration attorney re your husband's case as soon as he is in CIS custody. At that time your husband will be issued a Notice To Appear (NTA) outlining his immigration charges. Among his options maybe a Voluntary Departure.
