Voluntary departure do I need a waiver?

[ivy88 0]

Hello everyone,

My husband recently sent the I-130 petition for me (Jan 2, 2009). I was granted voluntary departure because my Assylum case was denied, the voluntary departure period expires Jan 25, 2009. Me and my husband got married Dec 21, 2008. If I return to my home country before Jan. 25 and continue the visa process there (cr1) would I need a waiver?

Thank you in advance

It sounds like you will not need a waiver, but we need more information.

Were you out of status at any time or did you have a case pending the whole time you were here?

How did you enter the U.S.? (Ex. with/without inspection/visa/type of visa)

Thanks for the quick response. I entered the U.S with a visitor's visa for 6 months. After 2 months of being here I filed for Asylum. The Assylum case was pending for about 9 to ten years and it was denied Nov. 25 and they granted me voluntary departure. I've never been out of status.

Did the denial of your asylum case ever have the word "frivolous" contained in it?

No I don't think it did
