Dear Sir/Mdm,

I have a few questions for clarifications.

Many years back I visited USA on a tourist visa (stamped at the US Immigration in the Airport). My first travel date was somewhere in October 2002 and I stayed for 90 days and left (somewhere in January 2003).

I came back to the States in February 2003 and was deported. I remembered being interviewed by a Superintendent (or Supervisor) who told me that I needed to enter the USA with proper paperwork if I intended to get married. Although I had the intentions to get married with proper paperwork done (return to homeland after my second entry and re-enter for the third time with the proper visa), I didn't make myself clear to the Immigration Officer which resulted in my deportation. I was willing to abide by the rules and regulations. He did advise me that it wouldn't be a problem for me to return with the proper paperwork. I do not have any criminal records in or out of my homeland or USA.

These are my questions :

A) Holiday -

1) If I go on a holiday for 2 weeks with my son, I am wondering if I am able to? Never returned after being deported.

2) Do I need to apply for a visa to go on a holiday?

3) If yes, what would I need to do?

B) Getting married -

4) My boyfriend, who is a U.S. Citizen and I are planning to get married in my homeland (possibly within 1 to 2 years) . After which, we would apply for my son and myself to stay with him in the States.

5) Or if we are able to apply for fiance visa for us to get married in USA instead.

6) Are there problems for us with our options above to be married and to be together? Since I was deported many years ago, I would like to ensure that I fulfil whatever that I need to.

7) How long is the process of paperwork for the different options?

8) What would be the recommended option?

Please advise me on the above.

I do appreciate your reply.

Thank you for your patience.
