Passport notation 8 cfr 217.4(a)(1)

[Matt n Shannon 3]

Attempted entry was 31/01/2010 and I-130 was filed in London on the 23/02/2010 if it is more than a simple denial I have no idea why but I'll find out when the CBP records arrive.

After speaking to my wife Looks like she was turned away on 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I)

Which basically means

Section 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) basically means, "Immigrant without an immigrant visa." Apparently, whoever you're talking about was found ineligible for the TN classification and was properly found to be inadmissible under 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I). The purpose of her trip was to work in the U.S. She was not qualified for any visa classification that would allow her to work in the U.S. Therefore, she's a 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) case.

So it seems its a little different. I do not believe she needs a waiver for this.

I'm fairly sure that is quite serious as well but post on here and see what other people say.

I wonder how long between the time he was denied and he applied there was. So far it seems things are processing smoothly for us. I think by now we would of gotten the Denial IF there was going to be one.

Not to scare you, but most denials happen at the consulate during the time of the interview. NOT at the USCIS or NVC stage

Be educated and be prepared.

My wife was refused entry to U.S on Aug-2004 for the first time. 

and they put this stamp on her passport :

REFUSED

Per 8 CFR 217.4(b)

charges: 212a7AI

 

Then she tried to enter second time  in Dec-2004 but she was refused again they wrote in her passport like this with pen:

Refused

8 CFR 217.4(a)(1)

and made her sign a written statement in which stated that she lied that she was never been refused entry into the US before. This time they didn't specify any charges except this clause 8 CFR 217.4(a)(1)

 

The biggest mistake i have ever made is not applied I-130 for my wife till todays date.

As earlier I was a permanent resident and  was told there are no waivers for your wife as she has lied/miss represented herself and she has been barred for 10 years.... and was told the only way she can be eligible for a waiver is if I became a U.S citizen. 

So i just became a U.S citizen and wondering if I can bring my wife and two kids ages 8 and 12.....  its been over 14 years since she was refused.... so even if she was barred for 10 years the bar should have been over now .... correct me if i am wrong…. or dose she still needs a waiver?.

If I apply for I-130 for my wife can I include my kids in the same petition or do I have to file separate I-130 for my kids…. My kids were never been refused or came to U.S.

Can someone help me to this matter or have any suggestion ..... thanks in advance.
