Stepanyan, a U.S. citizen who immigrated from Armenia after enduring war in her childhood, applied 13 years ago to have“I’ve been trying to live my life here, go to my job, take my kid to school, cook a dinner, while following the news in Armenia to see what’s happening,” Stepanyan said.
Once he got to Frankfurt, he had to go through border patrol to get into Vienna, and he was stopped and questioned for not having a visa. “That whole experience of traveling home after being a tourist in the U.S., but somehow midway you are treated like a criminal,” Stepanyan said. “He was no longer treated like a free person.”
A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, which oversees green card processing for people living outside of the U.S., wrote in an email that deportation itself that does not involve the U.S. would not affect a person’s eligibility, however, the reason for the deportation could affect eligibility.
After that many years of doing everything right, a mix-up like this happened in part because it is taking so long for Stepanyan’s application to process, Hickman said.
