Spanishmilf:
want to ask if u have a usa green card
And let symay you want to go to vacation to Eu countries will getting visas be easy or it will still he difficult and you can apply in the states or you will need to come back home to apply

IjeBos:


True, but all things being equal, better to be a US citizen than not when dealing with the exact same situation. Like in this situation, with a US citizenship, the guy would at least be able to stay in the US with his children. And though he would be a felon, if he really wanted to he could find opportunities. But, because he's not a citizen he'll most likely be deported.

RaptorX:
So akata babe is the one determining US immigration and criminal laws funny you.

grandstar:


My inlaw was deported in 1997 for credit card fraud after serving 3yr out of a 6year sentence.

He has never been able to go back.

LyfeJennings:


Not everyone
Olamide had a guy back then, his name is Ricky
He's a Nigerian, not an American citizen
he was convicted for fraud, he did his time and he's out as of today, still living on the American soil
A couple of people i dont want to mention names
Even the famous Hush wont be deported after his sentence
If na Gun related or drug crime now,
SURE, HE DEY COME HOUSE but chances of him being deported is not so much

1stGenAmerican:


I don’t know the others you’re talking about but Hushpuppi and the guy in this story will be deported after serving sentences.

Risingsunn:
He won't be deported. If the woman files for him

BreconHills:


For sure. Deportation is sure.
How does a non US citizen obtain citizenship by doing time in a US jail? Some of these commentators are confidently ignorant.

xandy84:
You're right but being a citizen is not all roses. I have lived 10 years in US and I can tell you that sometimes, you're better off in Lagos than New York or LA if your life is meaningless, purposeless in US when you can start afresh and make something out of it back home. Going to jail is no fun and after you served your time, opportunities become rear at least 7 years after end of your sentence and that is the reason most criminals goes back to the life of crime.
I wrote one my my masters degree paper on compariing rate of recidivism in America and Norway. The rate of recidivism in Norway is 20 per cent while America is 60 percent and as a foreigner who has no family support, your chances of survival is even slimmer. Think about it, who get to house you, feed you, cloth you when you out of prison knowing you ain't going to get a job anytime soon. Everybody will run from you, even your brother phone number will be disconnected ASAP.

Risingsunn:
file a case as against his deportation giving reasons why he should be allowed to stay in America. His child need fatherly support.

Ordinarily, he would be deported but because he has a child that is a citizen and also with a citizen mum, he is good to go. Just be in the good books of the akata babe. If the akata babe dey against am, he will be deported straight up

juliuscaesar:
He most definitely will be deported. One of the oath you take when you are approved for a green card is that you will stay out of felonious crimes such as robbery, rape, murder, fraud, impersonation, illegal possession of firearm, drugs, etc.

If you commit any of these offenses, the first thing the court does once you are charged is to notify Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) of your crime and they also notify your home embassy, in this case the Nigerian embassy closest to the court jurisdiction.

Once the offender is sentenced, ICE keeps a track of ylthe court case. Immediately the sentence is served, ICE will proceed to arrest the individual and put them up for deportation proceedings in from of an Immigration judge. Once the deportation is approved, the person will be on the next flight to Naija.

Nigerians dint listen. Money is not running away. Get your blue passport first. Once you have it, at least you are sure that if anything happens, you will not be deported. Any document other than a blue passport, will most likely lead to deportation.

I don’t know the others you’re talking about but Hushpuppi and the guy in this story will be deported after serving sentences.

IjeBos:


You're not wrong. I almost moved to the Lagos pre pandemic. So, yeah at a certain level value of life in Lagos can be better.
And you're not wrong about post conviction. But with a US passport you can leave, build again and come back.

Interesting research. Did you find race/racism had an impact on recidivism?

Onefornaija24:
My primary school mate just got convicted in the USA for 36 months.

It had to do with money laundering, aza man issues about 200k USD.

He has a green card but not a citizen.

He has been in the USA since 2017.

He has 2 kids he gave birth to there with naija wife.


He impregnated an akata, akata oyibo woman gave birth while he was in prison because he was already in detention till the court conviction last week.


WILL HE BE DEPORTED after serving his jail terms?

LyfeJennings:

tshtsh:

My response was based on the post. If you you don’t want comments why did you post it . Nevertheless based on your story I know enough to not hold brief for an immigration fraud (married an akata to secure a green card ) or for a convicted criminal .

You are attacking people yet from your post it’s obvious you don’t even know that akata refers to a black American/African American woman not a white woman.

YesDaddyTill203:

Dumbest imb@cile. So why did Trump setup a department to track down people who have been convicted of crimes, did time but where never deported? He setup a department to track them down and have them deported when he was in office. Even some cities are refusing to turn over their criminals for deportation as required by federal law.
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/551641-states-sue-over-bidens-limits-on-criminals-to-be-deported/

Asinine fools like that just got a visa yesterday or won a visa lottery just some years ago now feel like they know everything.
The first time I flew to the US, I can bet that your father have not even met your mother yet not to talk of you being born.
STFU and get lost.

OperationalVehi:

Life happens. He doesn't need to go back

grandstar:


He did try o!

When he did, at the embassy, he was asked whether he's ever been to the States and he said no.

His interviewer said he doubted it as his accent was a dead giveaway.

He now asked my inlaw to return the next day for fingerprinting. My inlaw never returned. He was the one who narrated things to us.

OperationalVehi:

He wasn't ready. If he was ready, he would have gone back to for the finger print

Burob:
No.

Karleb:
I don't know why our people are greedy.

America is the last place anyone should do crime for money, there are a million ways to be rich in that country and you are comfortable without even trying.

xandy84:
Interesting question. Racism is secondary. Financial gain is the major cause of high rate of recidivism. Most prisons in own by private cooperations who charges government to house inmate and the more inmate, the more profitable. There is a cooperation that built prison in Virginia and they have a clause on their contract with state the State of Virginia must pay if it can't provide inmate to their jail. If a state will pay for an empty jail, they don't have incentives to keep people out of jail. There was a case of a dude that died in jail for stealing $5 gum in 7/11 years ago.
Cooperations donate billions for elections, politicians vote on legislations that favor cooperations thru their lobbying agencies.
Federal prison system is even worse. The cheapest way to get a gender reassigned surgery is to buy a ticket to Jamaica, pick a gram of cocaine on your way back, get arrested and plead guilty to a six month prison and sue the government to provide money for your surgery. Why? Cos cooperations pressure policians to pass legislations that enforce free medical procedures to inmates while millions of hard working Americans goes without health insurance.
Bop spend almost $2 million to house a particular lady for 20 years due to major illness she has and when she was interviewed at the end of her sentence, she said she will be back withing 48 hours cos she will die before a month outside due to her medical conditions. Only very few hospitals will do major procedure on you without insurance. They will put a bandage and give you aspirin and down the road while inmate gets a gender reassigned surgery from male to female, 2 years later, he found Jesus and wish to go back to his primary gender... The system is rotten






Seems you have been in America for long.

I love your perspective on this.

What do you think of deportation for someone that committed a crime,?

Financial crime.


Also, do they deport those granted asylum?
