    Default Marrying a Citizen After a Prior Attempt at Illegal Entry

    Hi,

    13 years ago my husband was Caught and Fingerprinted At The Border. His fingerprints were taking but not paperwork were filled or name asked. He was sent back and later, he successfully enter to the USA.

    My question is:

    Should I summit the new "Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers" application or wait for the new immigration reform?

    I am afraid that the "Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers " will be denied since he entered to this country twice and he has a record with his fingerprints.

    Some lawyers recommend to obtain a copy of the record from "U.S. Customs and Border Protection"?

    Thanks for taking your time to read or answer my question.

    If you are telling us that he was previously deported and then reentered again unlawfully, that's a big deal - it triggers a lifetime bar against reentry. Your husband should consult an immigration lawyer with the details of his situation.
