Ideally, THE DEPORTEE'S WIFE should leave you with more questions than answers.  However, here are some FAQs:

How long is Roberto prohibited from entering the United States?

• Roberto is not allowed to enter the United States for 20 years.  He was deported in April of 2001.  Roberto had been previously deported in 1993, long before we knew each other.  When he was deported in 2001, it was under the order of a "reinstatement of deportation."  The reinstatement piece was due to the fact that he had entered the US as an undocumented person for the second time after a deportation.  A reinstatement comes with a steeper judgement; that's why Roberto is prohibited from entering the United States for 20 years.
  

Where do you live?  Where does Roberto live?

• We live together in Mexico, specifically in the city of Cuernavaca, in the state of Morelos, about an hour and a half outside of Mexico City.  When Giselle is touring, Roberto holds down the fort in Mexico.

Were you legally married when Roberto was deported?

• Yes, we were legally married at the time of Roberto's deportation.  We were married at the Cook County Clerk's office in Chicago, Illinois a little over a week and a half before Roberto was deported.

Are you a US citizen?

• Yes, Giselle has dual nationality; she is a citizen of both Mexico and the United States.  She was born and raised in New York.

• Roberto was deported from what was then called the Office of Immigration and Naturalization Services, in Chicago, Illinois.
