ds 230

[ivy88 0]

Hello everyone, I have a question about the ds 230.

I was given voluntary departure and left within the time they gave me.

I have a question about the 230 on question 30 h it says:

"An alien who was previously ordered removed within the last 5 years or ordered removed a second time within the last 20 years; who was previously unlawfully present and ordered removed within the last 10 years or ordered removed a second time within the last 20 years; who was convicted of an aggravated felony and ordered removed; who was previously unlawfully present in the United States for more than 180 days but less than one year who voluntarily departed within the last 3 years; or who was unlawfully present for more than one year or an aggregate of one year within the last 10 years"

Would I have to check yes on that one? Even though I wasn't ordered to be deported

I also looked at the 212 waiver to see if I have to fill it out and I found this under the heading that says Persons Permitted to Reapply for Admission Without Filing This Application. Persons who voluntarily departed from the United States without expense to the U.S. Government and without an order of removal or deportation having been entered.

So does that mean that I don't have to fill it out?

Thank you

Well, after the case was received by NVN my husband and I received and email from NVC asking us to pay the 2 bills. We didn't have to fill out the choice of agent form because we have a lawyer. We paid the bills online on Thursday and they already show paid. After the bills show paid online you could download the ds 230 and i 864 fill them out and then mail them to NVC with all the documents.

We haven't sent the DS 230 or I 864 yet because out lawyer decided to take a vacation and doesn't come back until Wed, his secretary never knows what she's doing. This is probably going to delay the process but my husband doesn't want to do this without a lawyer since I have my voluntary departure issue.

Thank you and please let me know
