Uregent! I need to confirm if true or not

[Movin on New Life 3]

My husband's I601 waiver was denied by Vermont Service Center.

I am the US citizen. We want to attain an attorney to begin appeal process

(especially because they have some incorrect information stated in their decision)

...the appeal supposedly I believe has a strict time period to submit.

My question is this: Is it true that if no documentation regarding appeal

options and procedures was included in the denial package... there is no

option to appeal, you are not allowed to appeal the decision?

this was told to me from USCIS customer service.... they have been incorrect in

giving me information in the past and I REALLY need to find out the facts as

soon as possible.

Thank you very much

by the way... my hardship was noted and agreed however "it was only one favorable" fact

and denied on other issues go figure all that work (almost 300 pages for the waiver) and it seems

like they already had their mind made up

what was the waiver for? Some things cannot be waivered...

[emt103c 10]

It's time to hire an attorney to take a look at your case. You've waited too long for the first denial, an appeal takes more than a year. . . .usually a refile is the best option and you want Laurel Scott or someone else of her level of expertise to help you.

what do you mean refile???

refile the I130 and waiver all over again? wont it get the same results?

I am confused

the waiver was because he returned to US before his 10 year ban (due to overstay in 1992)

denial said even though my hardships were acknowledged... it was only one favorable factor

also you said "you've waited too long for your first denial"... yes it took over 2 years for them to decide on the I601 waiver

after numerous calls, inquires, senator office checking and only after the senator's office requesting his file be sent to supervisor because it was "with legal councel" and had

been for way too long. Senators office asked for supervisor to check why so long and asked for a decision to be rendered. hmmm less than 48 hours... the file is denied..... I can not help but wonder if all

my inquires and such got someone angryy and just put in denial. (Since July of 2008 only repsonses we would get is "it is being processed" and bam in 48 hours denied!

Did "legal councel" just want to get it off their desk? and to make matter worse.... they have misinformation stated in the denial... Did they even truly read the almost 300 pages

sent t them or merely go on data in their computer???????????

When I calls USCIS customer service today to ask about appeal process and other quesions... ofcourse no help... told me to make an infopass appt

Done and will go Monday..... I am sooo beside myself!!! this whole thing begin Sept 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for listening

I'm just wondering why the Vermont Service Center denied your waiver not the US Embassy where your husband came from or where he applied for visa. I'm from Manila and they also denied my I601 the first time, we have no time to appeal due to time constraints (you only have 30 days to appeal). What we did was hired a good immigration lawyer and filed another I-601. It was approved, three months after we applied for it. Well every embassy is different and Manila, I learned, is one of the strictest. Don't lose hope, have faith and don't give up. Good luck.

I mean re-filing the I-601.

If I'm rememberring correctly, waivers submitted in Montreal are adjudicated in vermont. It looks like their waiver was submitted in Montreal. Also, some people are allowed to file in country waivers at their local office as opposed to filing at consulates abroad.

Establishing extreme hardship is only one factor in approving waiver cases. I have read a specific 601 appeal filed locally in St Paul, MN for an Algerian man and his Somali American wife. In the Appeal denial, the AAO states that the applicant did prove extreme hardship but the denial would remain because of other negative factors in the case..specifically dropped Domestic violence charges filed by his previous wife. Another negative factor could be disregard for and repeated violation of immigration laws, criminal history...etc.

I would get a lawyer.
