deportation

Philip Alan Eichorn

It depends. The initial issue is that people don't get deported for a probation violation. They get deported for committing crimes. Depending on the nature of the underlying crime, he may be eligible to return to the U.S. as early as 2012. He may also be eligible for a waiver of that time depending on whether or not he has qualifying relatives here in the U.S. and whether or not they are suffering an extreme hardship due to his absence.

You should consult with an attorney who practices both deportation law and consular processing of visas to determine what is the best strategy for you son.
