Hello my friends!!


I could use some help now! We went to the interview on 6/20 and Anil was denied the Visa. Our love is strong, but now we need to get down to business. I spent the last couple of days crying, now to get on with it..
I need to get letters of support from work and doctors, (I have several- have diabetes - on insulin, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and depression) and any othe back up information. I own a home in the US, and have a great job. I do have a brother that counts on me emotionally and sometimes financially who is disabled. Also, I have a friend who works for the government and travels a lot! I take care of her home, mail, etc when she is away!
Any specifics of what we need to have in these letters.. my friends, family,etc are willing to do whatever it takes,, but I want to make sure the letters state whey they need to with the thorough back up.

Another year of traveling back and forth seems like an eternity!!

Please help anyway you can..
Thanks in advance!!

Cindy

on what grounds was the visa denied..? you need to tell us all the details before we can try to help you.

okay, We were denied due to Anil had done a name change in 2006 in England. (dual citizenship with Canada)
he had not changed his name in Canada yet.. so when he tried to cross the border he had paperwork in both names.
he does have a criminal record from 15 + years ago as well...
So, they told us we could do the 601 form..

Cindy--before starting this I-601 process please educate your self by visiting immigrate2us.net. There you will find very helpful information and examples of approved hardship letters. I hope this helps. Sorry you have to go through this.

I would suggest you get the name change documentation done immediately. Shouldn't be difficult to do. Secondly, did you have the Canada Wide Criminal Record check done? Did you have a copy of the police report? Did they say that the reasons for denial were the two issues or just the one? My understanding is that you could have presented the 601 form at the interview if you knew you were going to be denied. Was this expected?
