I am sorry to hear of your plight, netsatwork. Here are a couple of links for you. The first is a small blurb on visa fraud and some other handy information. The second is a link to the member KitKat1. She is very knowledgeable on waivers and has a number of links listed in her signature. Alternatively, you can do a search on her posts. Best of luck to you.

From the Government of Canada's website:


Deemed rehabilitation
You may be deemed rehabilitated if you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Depending on the nature of your offence, at least five years and as many as 10 years must have passed since you completed the sentence imposed for your crime. Deemed rehabilitation also depends on whether you have committed one or more offences. In all cases, you may only be deemed rehabilitated if the offence committed would be punishable in Canada by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than 10 years.

He says that the only way he can enter the U.S. is to get some sort of waiver or something that in his words "he has to keep renewing at a great expense".

Hi Laura. Yes, as some have said, the American and Canadian borders do share information and many Canadians have been refused entry due to past criminal history. Here is a link to the waiver information: CBP FAQ - Waiver for Canadians

No, there's no penalty. A lot of people have been denied entry prior to their visas being issued. It happens all the time and doesn't affect the application.

Absolutely. I think a number of the responses you've seen are severe over-reactions. Now had you told the US authorities you still use marijuana, perhaps it might come up in the immigration process but since it was the Canadian Border authorities, I'm pretty sure the incident at your last border crossing would only be an issue if it shows up on the police report. I'd go ahead and get the same report you'll need at the time of any visa interview. If it's clean, you have no issue, at least based on the information you provided. Getting the police report now will mean you may well need to go to the trouble and expense again later but at least you'll know what you're dealing with.

There are a couple of VJ members here who are border protection agents so hopefully they'll be along to confirm this but.... I'm pretty sure that the Canadian and US borders have a reciprocal information-sharing agreement.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-130 Approved/paid AOS Fee/ Agent chosen. whats next?

Hi kmsolis,

 

I am moving your thread to the Waivers forum as you state you were told your husband will require proof that you 'need' him when he interviews back in Mexico.  That 'proof' is provided through a process known as a 'waiver' where you request USCIS to negate the circumstances that make him ineligible to immigrate.

 

There are several issues of concern, including the amount of illegal presence he has acquired while in the US which will determine the length of a mandatory ban he has earned, which is why you will need a waiver proving that you 'need' him.  I am not sure if his illegal entry as a minor will also be a consideration but amount of time he has remained in the US after the age of 18 is considered 'illegal presence'.

 

Perhaps some of our more knowledgeable legal experts can chime in on your thread and address the possible issues of which you should be aware and help you prepare.  You may find consulting an experienced and knowledgeable immigration lawyer a good move, as well.

1. Yes, you can use the VWP for business trips. In this context, "business" refers to business meetings, conferences, company trips etc., not paid work.


Except you have been told that you are no longer eligible to use the VW program so if you have a business reason to be in the US you will have to apply for the appropriate non-immigrant visa (B-1 Temporary Business Visitor) from the US Consulate.

The two of you can continue to meet up together either in Italy or perhaps a third country where the two of you might like to vacation and to where you can both gain access.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Please help me.. really desperate.

Seems the most practical solution, unless you have a better idea?


It suggests immigration fraud which is a violation of the Terms of Service for Visa Journey. The OP has already stated she does not wish to get married for immigration purposes and is trying to find other legal alternatives that will allow her to remain or return to the US to continue her studies.

OP, you said your parents received a letter from immigration about deportation and you asked if you have been deported. It sounds like what they got was a letter telling them they could self-deport which means leave the US voluntarily rather than wait for ICE to come and collect them and remove them on ICE's terms. Currently, the US Government's focus is on removing illegally present individuals with criminal backgrounds which it does not appear applies to you or your parents. The problem is that you are not able to attend a US University without legal status in the US. Was your reason for not being able to see your parents for 4 years if you returned to Korea was because you would be in University there and neither of you would be able to travel?

You were asking about attending grad school in the US and concerned that if you waited out the 10 year ban you would be too old for grad school. While it may seem from where you are now that you would be too old, don't worry, you wouldn't be. Many students return to get a graduate degree after several years in the workforce and there is no reason you could not do the same. I realize that would be another 6 years if your parents are still in the US (and it is possible that they will be if your sister gets citizenship and is able to apply for them to get a green card in a few years time, although I am not sure they can adjust legally from an illegal presence). In that scenario, while you might have a 10 year ban, you could try to attend graduate school in Canada instead. Your sister would be able to visit you and if your parents can get green cards from her rather than be deported, then they would be able to visit you as well. Canada has some excellent Universities and your current status in the US would not affect your qualifications to attend a University there. Regardless, this would be 4 or 5 years in the future and a lot can happen in the meantime.

Please remember that if you have no legal means to remain in the US, that there are other options that are available to you if you are able to look at a longer time frame and accept that there will be some time involved in separation. Ten years seems like a long time when you are 19. Whatever happens in 10 years you will be 29 and still with much of your life ahead of you. A lot can happen in 10 years.

Good luck.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)About K1 Refusel
The Consulate staff do not believe that you have a valid relationship, but since there is no grounds for them to deny based on this, they are using a section of the act that allows them to deny you as having no actionable grounds for a visa. There is something about your relationship, either inherent in the relationship itself, or was discovered during their research or security check or the information you submitted that made them think that you are applying for the visa as a means to get to the US and not because you have a real relationship.

The link posted by LeftCoastLady above is very similar to yours except their interview date wasf March 5 - a month after yours. It appears in their case that there is a large age difference between the man and the woman with the woman being older than the man. This is not a culturally accepted norm in the Consulate where they interviewed and was probably the biggest 'red flag' that led to their denial. You need to look at your own relationship and see if there are any aspects of it that don't 'fit' in your culture, or if you have only had a very short time together in person, or did not provide enough primary evidence of the relationship.

If you wished to share more of your personal and relationship information members might be able to suggest some options to help you address the denial, or to help explain why you got a denial.

I hope this helps.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Possible law change regarding waivers

'TBoneTX' timestamp='1325832091' post='5087176']
The noble-sounding effort is undercut by this, from the article:

"White House officials are resigned to the fact that there will most likely be no progress before the November elections on immigration legislation that President Obama supports that would give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants."

Because no politician proposes anything without an ulterior motive, some might conclude that this effort is to legalize some currently "undocumented Democrats" in time to vote for Obama



Well, that 'notion' is easily disproved - USCIS can barely process the current applications for citizenship from already qualified applicants in any sort of reasonable time, let alone process an influx of new applications!. Even for these already qualified individuals it is unlikely that anyone who files for naturalization later than early May 2012 will be processed in time for the applicant to become a citizen. let alone register and qualify to vote, in time for the November election. A sudden influx of 'new applicants' would only slow the system down even more (we saw what happened just before the last major price increase - it took over 2 years before they caught up with the backlog) and would lead to fewer qualifying voters, not more. The article discusses allowing these individuals the opportunity to apply for a green card - not citizenship - and to go through the usual process from outside of the US but with a waiver that would allow them to avoid the 3/10 year bar, so it would still be 3 to 5 years after their arrival before any such individual would even qualify for citizenship, let alone be able to vote. Any politician who tries to say that such legislation is motivated so that Obama can gain new voters in November is just 'playing politics' and talking through his hat. :yes: .Unfortunately, there will be some who would believe this hype which is even more disturbing because it indicates a complete lack of awareness about what is really involved in the legal immigration process..
