Answer

When a person is deported, they are normally barred from reentering the US for up to 20 years. It takes a lot of patience to attack this. What were the circumstances of her deportation?

Reply to Myron R. Morales's Post: all i have is the form immigration made her fill out. It is a sworn statement of what and why she is be sent back. I do not know of any conviction. form I-867A

Accepted Answer

OK, what does the form give as the reason for deporation? Probably that she was present without a legal status or that she was working witout permission?

In that case, you might have success with a waiver application. It will probably take several years to get a waiver approved, however.

Sure just post another message. From what you wrote it sounds like she might have the five year bar to reentry.

Thankyou for your help, how do I get started on this. and will marrage make any difference?

Answer

First thing to do is to find out how long the bar to reentry was given to her for. This will be on the documentation that she was given when she was removed. Once you determine if a waiver is available, then you will have to get married in order to sponsor her.

First thankyou Mr. Moralas for your time and help. She tells me it seems they put a 5 year bar on her on some paper work that she did not recieve. Could you tell me my options, and if you are able to help get her to me. Note: I work alot, this and my phone is my best communication. Thankyou

Accepted Answer

OK, if you were to marry, you could try to get a waiver, but first you should do a freedom of information act request to find out the exact reasons for her deportation. Those reasons will need to be addressed in any waiver application, assuming that a waiver is available.

Mr. Moralas, since your last answer I have talked to several government offices, whom none seem to want to help, does not know what i am talking about or sends me to someone else. I ended up in the homeland security office in dallas, that has not returned my call.I really need to get this going soon, I need help.

Question

Get copies of the documents from when she was in removal proceedings. It will have the section of law checked-off under which she was deported. Then I can tell you what bars apply and if any waivers are available.

Okay, I am really not sure what to look for . I do not see anything like you are asking for. It says. Record of sworn statement in proceedings under section 235(b)(1)of the act. the only thing i see is on the front page. It says if a decicion is made to refuse her admission into the country that you could br barred from reentry for 5 years or longer. This staement was before CBPO Enforcement I do not know what else to give you Jimmy

Answer

OK, so she was excluded from the country at the port of entry by a Customs and Border Protection officer. How long ago was this? The reason may have been that they found that she had immigrant intent. In other words, she showed up with a visitor's visa and they found out that she had a boyfriend in the US so they denied her entry for fear that she would get married and apply for permanent residence. I know that seems like a strange way of thinking and that it assumes more than the government should be able to assume, but it happens everyday.

I would do a freedom of information act request at the port of entry where she was denied admission. This will give you the exact reason for the exclusion. It will take a long time, so in the interim you can get married and start the green card process in the US. Then, when she goes to the Consulate, she can apply for a waiver if there is one available. By then, you should have the results of the request and know whether a waiver is available. If the waiver is granted, then she can enter the US as either a permanent resident or a K-3. If you utilize the K-3 route, then you will need to apply for permanent residence once she is admitted.

If you do not want to get married right away, you can utilize the K-1 fiance route. Once she enters, she will have 90 days to marry and then needs to apply for lawful permanent residence.

I need to know if I could get results of the freedom of information act request any faster and any other process of this with the hiring of yourself for help. I really need to hire someone because I really do not know anything about any of this. Jimmy

Answer

The freedom of information act request normally cannot be sped up by anyone. What you could do is just get married and start the visa application process. When she is denied at the consulate, they will tell her why. Then you will know the exact reason and then can see if a waiver is available or if she has to wait out the bar to reentry time.
