    Importer in this case means he arranged the drugs to be shipped to US. He does not need to fly to meet the seller in person. This is a serious matter and cannot be wiped out with any kind of waiver.

    Maybe he imported drugs into the US and this charge is reflected on his UK criminal record.

    What exactly was your question in relation to immigration law?

    Hello jay:

    Would you feel better if his record said he was a drug salesman? It doesn't make any material difference. He's a convicted felon whose been deported. They'll never let him back in here. I also can't imagine that it'll make any difference in his life in the UK either.

    You know, of course, that importers of anything don't actually have to leave home in order to buy products from abroad.

    By the way, what were the two charges he WAS convicted of?

    You can argue for his citizenship.. since he was a minor when he came to US. But at least one of his parents should have had citizenship at that time..
    US immigration considers drug charges as aggrevated felony.. It is a bit too much and also discrimination... If you can win the case with US immigration... apeal on BIA..
