Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)IR5- supplemental documents for DS230
pssssssssssssst - don't forget that ugly GUZ P3 Supplemental form. It's UGLY.

Link is in the wiki page at http://www.visajourn...onic_Processing

It's supposed to go in with the DS-230, but if you've not sent it with the DS-230 set, you can send it seperately.

Three people have been dinged with an RFE in the last 45 days for NOT having this document submitted to NVC, at NVC.

Good Luck !

ya, technically ANYONE can do the translation, as long as the proper attestation statement is used.

But GUZ is used to the whitebooks, alas. She doesn't need to get BC in other city, she needs TRANSLATION of BC from other, bigger city. Maybe y'all will figure this out, soonish.

Good Luck !

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)case back from American Consulate
Sorry - if they say they are going to revoke it because you DID NOT submit that evidence, then it's gonna be revoked.

It smells like this is the 'end game' at the consulate, and that you were given a prior chance to submit something.

If my assumption is correct, then the casefile will be returned to USCIS for another review, and a possible re-affirmation of approval.

That could take some time.

If I were in yer shoes, I'd file a new I-130 immediately, front-loading it with evidence of a bonafide relationship and marriage, then withdraw the first I-130 after the 2nd I-130's NOA-1 letter.

Good Luck !
ps - if my assumption is wrong, say so.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)case back from American Consulate
Good Luck with it all - my apologies for not understanding you, prior.

Near as I can tell -

USCIS is asking for proof of bonafide relationship on you two

during the review period

of the casefile being returned to USCIS after

the Consulate denied the visa application / petition .

So, this is either a NOIR or NOID but -
you have been asked to supply more evidence.

Good Luck ! Hurry Hurry ! Send Express Mail / NEXT DAY with USPS without signature confirmation.
Delivery confirmation is automatic, but signature confirmation will slow down the acceptance process on yer evidence.

Hi Darnell,

Thanks for the info, but whats the same AP. When they specifically told him its over and he is legally able to come now? What would be the AP on the additional RFE? The only thing I could think of them is calling the states to confirm my wedding planning.

Star

'the same AP' You've been in AP, this time, because of a further request for evidence.

'They' aren't finished with this. It's not enough to just 'accept the evidence'.
It has to be reviewed, then the casefile looked at , one more time, for completeness, for 'final review' .
Then some other magic stuff happens (back office operations, that I know nothing about)
and the visa stamp is printed and put on the passport,
then it's sent off to the mailroom for bundling (figure 3 days for that)
then you have that extra VFS stuff to go through for distribution and shipping. (no clue, about turn around time)

Try this on Monday? Call DOS Hotline, get a Human™, and inquire on Case Status.

My point was - it's NOT SOMETHING NEW. It's the SAME AP, on the SAME PROCESS.
You can be happy happy joy joy it's NOT SOMETHING ELSE to worry about.
(No, I'm not being crass)

You might wonder if you are being used, to come into the USA.

I'd question it, because of the AGE GAP between you. Solely.

Whatever ya do, you won't know 'whats what', until after you file.
Which ever petition you file, front-load it, to cover all red flags plus the 'regular' evidence yer supposed to submit.

I remember when I was 22 - them 'older ladies' were always a boon, for me (no, not a boondoggle).
But I digress.

File Something - see wot happens - that's my best advice for now.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I will give up......
So, both casefiles are at NVC, right? doing NVC processing, ya?

When the I-130's are finished, it'll be sent down to the embassy, and then a medical exam is needed, then there is the interview itself.

I don't think you'll need a waiver, at this point, because it was 'voluntary departure' - even if 'under orders' - is ok - because was tied to asylum case, and not a deportation hearing.

I suggest you call NVC Hotline, Get a Human™ and inquire about the status of BOTH cases. Ideally, you want both interviews on both days at the Embassy..

Then - Call the DOS hotline, Get a Human™, inquire about the status of yer wife's casefile.

You can prep the waiver paperwork, sure, but be certain you understand WHY she needs a waiver (I don't think she needs a waiver, at this point ).

You have an approved I-130 - I suggest you kick it into play at NVC. Give NVC a call on Friday, kick start it ..

(with a denied K-3 though, I can't say you will be successful with the I-130 - but - it doesn't hurt to try ).

Her K3 has been sent back, the CO will not interview her husband for the CR1. The OP will have to wait this process out.


I disagree, as 'an absolute' -

There is CHANCE to kick the I-130 in play - but the OP won't know, until it's attempted.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)HOT URGENT!!Husband visa denied after 2 interviews and i was questioned.Papers not back to USCIS

Her case has been sent back because the CO feels that the relationship is fraudulant eventhough it's not. They are not going to interview him on a CR1. It's already in the system and the NVC will not forward the case on. You are telling the OP to waist money that she will not get back. If there is someone out there that has been denied a K3 from Morocco then turned around and said I want my CR1 to be processed and granted a interview for it a few weeks later I surely would love to know.


Just to be clear ----

When the OP calls NVC to kick the I-130 in play, there is no money to be spent that day.

ALSO - NVC will tell the OP if it is possible to kick the I-130 in play - no money to be spent that day.

Why are you saying that I am saying to 'waist money' ?? I'm not !

BTW - for any CR-1 - there is no such thing as 'a few weeks later' for the 2nd interview - it's usually 3 months.

Hullo OP - did you call NVC yet, inquire I-130 case status? if not - you should !!!

If it's still 'viable' - ie - not 'bound up' with the K-3, then you have a chance...

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)MUST READ!!!! Married outside 90 days
QUOTE (klicristina @ Oct 28 2009, 09:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes, I do have the photocopy of the I-94. In addition, I have the court order for a voluntary departure where the judge stating his words exactly, "Respondent is departing US prior to her 180 day to AVOID the 3 year ban and immigrate as an immediate relative. Facts of this case are sympathetic. Bonafides of marriage have been established." I have my wife's airplane ticket showing that she arrived in Brazil on January 10, 2009.


The judge based his 180 day count from July 29, 2008, the date my wife was denied the AOS. The judge ruled that my wife was out of status from July 29, 2008.


How much does a court order from a immigration judge affects the decision-making of the US Consulate on a specific case?


IMO - if she left prior to the date the judge mentioned -

Then she'll be ok come time to interview at a consulate.

If she left AFTER that date, then she's got a huge risk of the ban ...

Whilst she was in DEPORTATION HEARING - it is my opinion that she was not DEPORTED - instead - she 'voluntarily departed' the country.

But hei - I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV - but the differences in those two phrases are bazillion miles apart. As long as she wasn't DEPORTED, she should be ok.

GOING FORWARD, though -- make sure she has copies of ALL of the court documents prior to interview day - she'll probably need to present them.
I'd also pay attention to the EXIT STAMP on her passport - (did she get an exit stamp at the USA Airport? ) - if it has any codes , letters, or numbers on it - ya better cross-reference EXACTLY what they mean.

If there were no codes on the stamp - she has no proof that she was actually DEPORTED.

Good Luck !

QUOTE (klicristina @ Oct 28 2009, 11:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everyone. I just want to put this question out there for everyone to comment. Given the fact that sole purpose of a K-1 visa is to get married and to do so within 90 days upon arrival, if not, you have to leave the country. Let's assume that I did not get married within the 90 days. When is this date to leave? 91st, 92nd, 100th day? or when the I-94 expired? My wife's I-94 happens to expire 1 year and 3 months after arrival.


This is an accurate statement.

YOU MUST MARRY within 90 days. There is common linkage (cause mostly it's done this way ) that the I-94 expiration date matches the end of the time window to get married. In your wife's case, she got an expiration date that was WAY PAST a 90 day window.

The onus to 'get married' is 'within 90 days of POE date', not 'before I-94 expiration date' .

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FILE FOR AOS within 90 days of POE date.

Disclaimer - I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. i can be had, though, for at least 1 KG of COOKED FOOD (frozen is fine ).

I had alluded to 'what the judge said' and your wife's departure date.

Since she left prior to 'that date' - she wasn't officially deported.

Sure - she had a deportation hearing !!

But she was not deported. Since she wasn't deported, there's no ban to worry about. Heck, the judge handled IT ALL in his judgement issued to her (Thanks for posting that, btw - helped me think about what's going on ).

Instead, she left voluntarily. (Voluntary Departure )

I think you have SOLID EVIDENCE to present, if needed, at the interview. Bring it all - h3ll, get the judge's cell number before you leave - the IO can call him if it's not clear ..

and I THINK SHE'LL BE FINE.

QUOTE (den09 @ Dec 4 2009, 11:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I filed in near 20 days from their arrival, as I did not know about 212, as neither forms (130/485) has any instruction or link about 212 even in case of who should not file, how can a person know without this? I am planning to reopen based on evidences of their property proof, electric bills , return tickets, pension slip etc to clarify that their intention was not to mis represent, am I going on correct track or I need something more than this to strengthen the case? what are chances of getting faviorable decision in this case?



IMO, there are two intents here.

One as tourist visa, another for immigration.

Somehow , they have crossed, with the 'immigration intent' weighing heavier than the tourist intent,
and the 'look of the tourist intent' has been dashed, with the 'immigration intent' overpowering it.

IMO, the decision to file the I-130 and I-485 on day 20 was a bad one. A very bad one.

Now your parents are in some deep do-do (you know that, already ) .

But.. fwiw, this is a TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF IMMIGRATION FRAUD.

Now, as you say, you didn't know about the '90 day window' ..

Perhaps they will get lucky, perhaps they will be under deportation hearing, and then 'voluntarily leave' prior to actual deportation proceedings. That might help them, later, if you decide to file an I-130 whilst they are back in the home country.

As I understand it, though (and I'm probably off-base) they won't be getting another tourist visa, as there is prior, proven (or yet to be proven ) misrepresentation.

If you rush and get an attorney, perhaps the attorney can prove up, to ICE's satisfaction, that you had big pressure from your parents to do this for them, and they pressured you so much that you did not make time to learn the immigration laws and guidelines, and then the attorney successfully negotiate for 'no future tourist ban'. It could happen, maybe, with the right lawyer.. But I say maybe, nothing is guaranteed (I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV ) .

Good luck, however it turns out..

So if all situations are against their favour, I dont understand what miracle an attorney would be able to do to have decision in favour? Also, by closing their file and not filing motion/appeal, are there any chance of applying back in the country in future? It is tough there also.


Specifically for my prior answer -

As is, I think your parents will be hit with misrepresentation, and deportation hearing started.
An attorney MIGHT be able to negotiate the charge of misrepresentation, down to something else, or have it successfully thrown out, if he can prove up family pressure and ignorance.

Then, there is the ban on future tourist visas for your parents. Using the same arguments, an attorney MIGHT be able to negotiate to NOT have a future ban placed on your parents.

But - you won't know, until you engage with an attorney and that attorney gives it a try.

I used the word MAYBE, here, twice, as there is no hard and fast 'rule' - it's up to ICE and the judge presiding over the deportation hearing.

But hey - remember - I'm not a lawyer, this advice is free. I'm under no legal obligation to be right or wrong, either. It's your parents, YOU must deal with this situation as you best see fit.

I saw a lot of things covered in http://www.visajourn...h...=215368&hl=

But I guess ONE bottom line might be -

since the screener at the medical interview entered 'yes', instead of 'no' - when your man said 'no' -

You should have an attorney step in and get this fixed.

Since it happened in Jamaica, I suggest a Jamican attorney .

But - even if it gets corrected - will the Consulate re-adjudicate it ???? That's another legal quagmire that you have to sort out, as well.

Duh - I forgot something - my bad.

IF you receive back a 'Notice of Intent to Deny' notice via postal mail - then you __MIGHT__have a chance to appeal the decision - but you'll have to have solid legal evidence (depositions from the medical worker, and your husband ) to present on the case.

I think it's a big IF - I suggest talking with an immigration attorney in the USA that specializes in handling cases in Jamaica (but come on, others have already suggested that you - I had hoped that you have representation by now, and an attorney would mention how to handle an appeal - or even mention if your case MIGHT be appeal-able or not ).
