Immigration lawyer here.
1. What was the basis for winning your removal proceedings? 2. Did your criminal lawyer not tell you the trouble you'd be in for pleading? 3. Congratulations. Love to hear success stories.

How easy was it to get work authorization in the countries you've worked in?

It is a nationwide after the Supreme Court's decision in Padilla v. Kentucky in 2010. I guess what I was trying to figure out is if that played a role in OP's release (which is how i'm guessing he got out of the AF issue) as it appears he was convicted in 2005 and released this year and says he won his immigration case.

awesome story, glad it worked out for you. Congratulations and good luck!
