I believe that your husband is eligible for US permanent residence regardless of his child support obligations.
Child support obligations are family law obligations which are governed by state law. To my knowledge, the admissions officers at US Customs and Border Protection do not have any system integrated to show back child support payments. I suppose it is possible that if the child support payments were so severe that somehow criminal charges have been made, his criminal record may to relevant to his ability to re-enter the US, and it would be an interesting legal question on whether a Canadian-born Native American could ever be stripped of US permanent residence based on a criminal issue. |
