Full Version: is it true, better to withdraw spouse visa and begin again

When applying for spousal visa, my husband did not disclose past marriage and only used part of his full name.
After submitting 601 waiver and 212 ( due to deportation for overstay) they have requested copy of divorce certificate (no problem to get) and expect misrepresentation due to not complete name used... They gave us ONLY 90 days to reply with necessary documents and information, however we only have 60 days due to not receiving request right away due to mail problems. It states we WILL NOT be able to extend period. My question is this.... if we submit most requested information and documents but if something is not here in time (due to past attorney not cooperating with file and information) and USCIS denies the waiver, what are our options after that?
Most importantly I was told it was much better to withdraw the spousal visa and start all over again being sure to disclose all information. Does anyone know if this is true or can you advise me someone who can answer
thank you!

If they denied the waiver, according to attorney's I've read you can either appeal (not usually successful) or even resubmit.

If I were you I would contact this attorney www.visacentral.net and see what she says. She won't be able to finish a waiver in that short amount of time, probably, but might be able to advise you on how to get an extension (even though it says you can't normally there is not a deadline to file the waiver in that little time. . .usually you could reply with your intent...)

thank you, I will check there. Just to clarify, we did submit the waiver... it is the request for more info they gave us only 90 days which ended up 68 days for us by the time we received it.
