    Default Reentry After Prison Sentence

    Question of re-entry.
    I know someone who lived in the US since 18mo (US permanent resident- citizenship was not derived as a child) was convicted of drug charge, served a lengthy prison sentence (Florida)as an adult and subsequently deported to his birth country. I believe the period of exclusion was indefinate. All relevant family ties (children, parents, spouse) are American citizens and living in the US. What are the chances of him re-entering the US legally? Also, at time of deportation, he had an appeal pending, how can he find out the results.
    Look forward to your reply!

    To check the status of the appeal, he can check with his appellate lawyer, or check with the appellate court.

    With a drug conviction and a lifetime bar against reentry, I would say his odds of getting a waiver to allow him to reenter are very low.
