Perhaps, nothing, but a very experienced immigration attorney who limits practice to immigration law may better be able to explain what can trigger abandonment or deportation. We need to have more facts about his criminal and immigration record.

Is he a conditional resident? If so, has any attorney carefully evaluated his certified criminal court orders and records for deportation and exclusion purposes? Has anyone considered post conviction motions to vacate any of his convictions for non-immigrant or non-rehabilitation reasons? If not, then he should consider scheduling an appointment with an experienced attorney like Lisa Seifert, where you live near Olympia and need local counsel.

The above is general information and does not create an attorney client relationship.
