Bangladeshi chemistry instructor who spent almost two months in jail for overstaying his US visa now awaits a final deportation decision
A Bangladeshi chemistry professor who was facing deportation from the US has been recently released on the order of a judge after spending nearly two months in jail. Syed Jamal, who has lived in the US for over 30 years, now awaits a ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to determine his fate.
The BIA will determine whether Jamal, who was teaching at universities in Kansas and Missouri, will be deported to his native Bangladesh. A final decision from the BIA, which could separate Jamal from his wife, three children and career, is expected this summer.
