Will he be deported?

Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2006 9:38 am

Hello to all. My name is LaToya and I am an American and my fiance is a liberian. His name is Trokon D Smith, he is 27 and he is currently serving time in federal prison for i.d and bank fraud. All charges were dropped except the conspiracy to defraud the US. We have a 1 year old son together who was born in june of 2005 that he has never touched, so far our visits have been behind plexi glass. My concern is wether or not he will be deported. If we marry while he is in the prison will that help? I don't know for sure but I am guessing his crime is considered an aggravated felony. Can some one help me out. How many liberians ( u may know of ) have been deported for this crime? with it being non -violent i think it is un fair for Him, our son and I. Should I go ahead and marry him or not? If he is deported can he go to canada? I am just afraid honestly to move to Africa, because things are so different. He has no family that he knows of over there, so I am very scared for him. someone help us with info please. Crying or Very sad

I know you've probably heard this, but I think what is unfair is the fact that he tried to defraud the bank!
With the new immagration laws; even if your fiance is a citizen, it can be revoked if he commits a crime!
Woman to woman; I don't believe I will move all the way around the world for a man who has proven to be irresponsible. Just FYI: it's even more difficult to get a job in Liberia.....there aren't that many options.
Sounds hopeless; maybe, but take it as another factor to consider when making your decision to move to Africa to be with this man if he is deported.
Your number one concern should be for your son. Always.

i guess you are right and i am taking all these things into consideration, i just want my son to have his father in his life. It is so hard. I don't know what i will tell him when he asks about his dad. I am really just praying for a huge miracle right now. Rolling Eyes
