My father is a citizen of Portugal. He was sponsored by my grandfather to come here in 1983.

He was deported in April of 2005 on the basis of a felony conviction back in 2000. His family remains here in the United States?

2010 will be 5 years since his deportation. I have herd that he can apply for readmission at the five year mark. However, I was also informed that he has no chance of being readmitted for the reason that he was deported (i.e. felony conviction). I am having a difficult time finding answers. Which is the truth?
