VisaOfficer:

Based on the above, I see no reason at all to worry about anything.

I don't think you need an immigration lawyer, but asking a Consular officer if you need an immigration lawyer is like asking a cat if you need a dog.

Thank you for putting up this website. I got my queries answered fast! Now i feel much better.


More power to this site!!!!
God Bless you!

VisaOfficer:

You should be absolutely truthful in questions 4 and 5. We will be able to see your 2004 removal, and if you're not forthcoming about it, the officer will wonder what else you're not telling us.

The five year ban has expired. From what you write, you don't appear to have other ineligibilities (but there may be more to the story). At any rate, for any ineligibility caused by an overstay, the ban has likely expired by now and if not, there are waivers available. Just tell the truth and we'll help any way we can.

Thank you for the enlightenment! I do not have any overstaying for my last 2 visit in the US. But there was a time where my relatives went to a vacation, and on our way back home we were accidentally bumped by a speeding car in our back. Police officer arrived and found my youngest son (around 5 year old by that time). I was given a citation ticket because he is not on a bolster/child seat. Citation ticket was not paid as far as i remember because we need to transfer to my other side of relatives in the states. No other violation made.

One last question. Do i still need to get a immigrant lawyer about my case, im just worried about my 235b1 case?


Thank you in advance!

Hello,

i am just a new to this thread. Seeking for advice about my case.


On June 2004 i was removed and deported from US the same day when i arrived at one of the US airport. My US Visa was cancelled and was given the following;


- for a period of 5 years from the date of your departure from Unites States as a consequence of your having found inadimssible as an arriving alien in proceedings under section 235 (b)(1) or 240 of the Act.


My Question now is.... My wife is a registered nurse in the US and filed for immigrant visa for me and my 2 children. After 7 years her green card was approved last May 30 under E3 category. We are join to follow. Now I already filed my DS261 which i nominated myself as the third party agent. Approved, and now we were able to pay the IV processing fee (now in process in status). I believed the next thing to do once the IV processing is PAID is we are going to submit the DS260 online. I checked the sample DS260 form and found a portion/questions under Previous US travel Information. Stating the following;

1. have you ever been applied for a visa before? (yes)
2. provide information of your last 5 visits (3rd time visit)
3. have you ever been applied for a US visa (yes)
4. have any of your US visa been cancelled or revoked ( yes) (explain)
5. have you ever been refused a US visa, been refused admission to the US or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry (explain).


Under US immigrant VISA / Visa Denials /Ineligibilities and Waivers do i fall under no. 9? - in my case there was no attempt of seeking admission within 5 years until now.

(9) ALIENS PREVIOUSLY REMOVED. -

(A) Certain aliens previously removed.-

(i) Arriving aliens.-Any alien who has been ordered removed under section 235(b)(1) or at the end of proceedings under section 240 initiated upon the alien's arrival in the United States and who again seeks admission within 5 years of the date of such removal (or within 20 years in the case of a second or subsequent removal or at any time in the case of an alien convicted of an aggravated felony) is inadmissible


I am very worried about my case can this be cause of my visa denial? We waited for 7 years for this. What about the question in no. 4 and 5 under DS260 form how shall i explain?

Thank you for the enlightenment
