What happened is, my friend was busted while selling cigarette to a minor. He was given a ticket and later he paid off that ticket and the matter was solved. Nothing really happened after that. But due to some unfortunate circumstance, he had to travel back Nepal. While returning back, an immigration officer discovered about his violation and told him that he was not suppose to work since he was on F1 status. Then on the spot he canceled his visa and handed him  the doportation notice. They arranged him to send him back to Nepal within 48 hr. But my friend then filed an asylum on the same port of entry. He didn't had any other choice. Then according to the latest information, he is behind the bar in some county of Chicago for further investigation. We somehow established a way to communicate with him. Its been there days and we are like sitting ducks right now. We been talking with him for couple of time in a day. Even he doesn't have any clue whats going to happen with him.

What can we do in this situation to get him out of this mess? Do we have to hire a lawyer? What can happen to him? Does anybody heard about such situation happening to anybody? We are very confused and worried right now. Please someone share some information regarding this. Right now every second counts.
