Victor Martinez' Immigration Saga Continues

Ok fans of Victor Martinez, here is the scoop on what went down at Vic's hearing today in New York City.

Initially we thought that today's hearing was mainly concerned with some documentation procedures and once the procedures were finished the court would name a date for Martinez' final hearing. But it didn't quite work out that way.

According to our source, a few of the documents were not in order and the announcement of the date of Martinez' final hearing is now postponed until February 24th, 2012. Martinez attorneys believe that the final court date will be sometime in April or May.

There was a bright side for Martinez. A judge approved his application to waive his prior criminal charges.

Currently Martinez remains in mandatory detention without bail. Vic's attorneys think there is a possibility that he might be let out on parole sometime between now and the next hearing on February 24th. However it is also possible that he could stay detained until the final hearing that could be set for sometime in April or May.

According to his attorneys, if all goes well at his final hearing, he could be granted US citizenship.

Our sources say that Victor misses his family, misses his fans, wishes he had a gym and misses training. He looks healthy and rested. They even say that he will come back and be better than ever when he gets out.

Martinez was taken into custody October 9th, 2011 - one day after winning the Arnold Europe in Madrid, Spain - when he was attempting to re-enter the United States.

We will have Ron Harris get another extended interview with Victor shortly. Stay tuned to MuscularDevelopment.com for the latest.
