IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresRFE for deportation status help

 

 

She saw the paper though, and on the paper it was a 5 year ban - since she was truthful, they only gave her 5 years. 

 

 

She was banned when she was 19, she was coming back into the US, and was brought to a room with other people who were caught at the airport in Georgia. 

 

They said "do not lie, we know everything" - she told the truth about everything, and only received a 5 year ban because of it. There was no court hearings or anything since she was truthful, and left voluntarily with the 5 year ban. 

 

Never come across a deportation that was not a 5 year ban, as far as I am aware that is the tariff.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresRFE for deportation status help

18 and something she left, no deportation, maybe a 3 year ban.

 

Tried to enter again, on what basis?, deported so a 5 year ban and maybe a misrep.

 

10 years and now looking for an Immigrant Visa, she has to complete the application with information about her prior visits.

 

Any ban would be an issue for the Consulate to asses as part of the interview process.

 

If there is a ban, misrep seems the obvious one unless there is something else not mentioned, then US Spouse can file waiver.

Most likely it is your only option, you just need to twealk your current circumstances to comply.

 

US tax filing requirement is not based on location.

Has she been filing her tax returns?

 

My guess is that is something else to get sorted.

 

The Visa category you are applying for is for Family Reunification, they do not require US residency but you do need to show Domicile.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-601 Waiver of inadmissibility
Even if he entered on the very last day of 2011 he would have a 12 month overstay.
BoilerMaleWales2014-10-13 18:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-601 Waiver of inadmissibility

They would have to make a major mistake not to require a waiver for the 10 year ban, the reality is that for a simple overstay any half competent waiver will be approved.

 

I can not say if you have the capability to do it yourself, many do.

 

www.immigrate2us.net has a list of recommended Lawyers.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFiled I864A before and now filing I864EZ AoS

I should have been smarter about it even though I had never dealt with immigration issues before.  The family friend should have known better actually since he had been dealing with this kind of stuff and should have split the members between multiple sponsors.  I am hoping that is the way he submitted document as I have no recollection of what I signed as it has been 3+ years.  I will have my answer by tomorrow night.

 

In any case, for those who are reading this for your own general knowledge, let it be a lesson: if you are sponsoring a large family and need multiple cosponsors, split the migrating family members between the cosponsors instead of adding them all and creating one giant list of dependents.  

 

That was my point, you can not have 6 siblings on one sponsorship.

 

Might be not so bad.

Sounds like there were multiple sibling with spouse and children.

 

If OP signed one then he would not have signed up for 14.

 

Impression I get is that they split them amongst several people.

Well it is very unlikely that any of them will no longer be your responsibility.

 

You do need to find out your obligation, that may take some time to get a copy.

Strongly suggest you read the Guides and get the basics down.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmy 4 year immigration fight to keep my wife
You need a lawyer who has a clue, this one should be reported to the local Bar.

As she was never legally married, then the whole K3 would be void, it was based on a false pretext. I guess she might have had a case if she only just found out, but she knew from arrival that this was the case.

So she would never have had any legal presence in the US.

My assumption is that you will need a I 601 waiver for the illegal presence. http://www.visacentral.net/ This is one Lawyer who is highly thought of, Heather Poole is another.

But I believe for K1 you also use the I-134 and the guidelines are a little easier to meet. If that helps any im not certain but I think so.


Main difference is that one is enforceable and the other is not.
