Hello.
I have a situation.
In 1999 I finally received my long awaited green card that my father applied for years back.
In 2000 I married a non US citizen that did not have permanent residence in USA, but we applied for the appropriate paper work.
In late 2003 my wife had other ideas, and left with another guy, but fabricate4d a story and scenario, that should deserve an academy award. I was pined in a place that was forced to pleaded guilty to something I did not do. And now I have a criminal record, Class C felony domestic violence.
I know I was misrepresented, the whole thing was a huge mess, and I was told that don't worry nothing will happen to you in the future.
Well guess what, something did happen. I have been out of the cutly at least a dozen times since 2004 and about 50% of the times, no one really questioned anything when I entered the country, but the other 50% I would get pulled aside, and questioned, and then finally was released and on my way.
Last time I entered the country, in NYC, I was pulled aside and was held for over 3 hours, where my Canadian Passport and green card were taken away. I was told that I need to appear in front of an Immigration Judge in my city where I have lived since 1999. I asked the officers if I needed to appear with a lawyer, they said no, and "don't worry about it, you will be fine".
Well last time I was told don't worry about it it, by my attorneys, look what happened, but this time I'm told not to worry about it, from the INS side.
What do I need to do? I have served all my sentence, (home detention for 20 days) served comunity service, and paid all my fines, long ago.
I suspect that my ex-wife may have something to do with this, as she is some sort of trouble, because since she left, I get at least once a month, but usually more often, calls from collection agencies asking for her or the guy she ran away with, as they owe large amounts of money to banks and other institutions. I keep telling everyone that we are not longer married, and I don't know where she is, and with whom, but they keep calling at all sorts of times of the day and night.
Anyhow, I did not have a criminal record before this, not did I have any incident with the law after this ordeal.
What do I need to do, will I be deported when I show up at the hearing, do I need to be represented by an attorney?
Thank you in advance for any information.
