Need feedback with interesting case

[JesyNav 1]

hi i am also doing the CR1 route, my husband was brought to USA as a child as well and his case was completed at NVC in less than 5months from filing the i130. my husband is going to do a wavier as well. when my husband has his interview in juarez of course they will deny him the visa but they will tell him if he is eligible to file a waiver. i have heard of alot of cases that have gotten approved the first time after filing the waiver. it is currently taking about a month after the interview to get the waiver appointment scheduled and then about 2-3 months to see if they approved it.. there is a forum for people who are just filing for mexico/juarez and they might be able to give you a better answer since alot of ppl there are going through or have recently gone through the waiver process in mexico.. people also post a copy of letters and waiver that were approved. i have hope that my husband will be here soon. when he gets his interview i will be in mexico with him and i wont leave mexico without him .. im going to stay there through the waiver process.. the website is: www.smf.juarez-mexico.com..

Zero chance of approval at CDJ...you must not waste more time hoping for a different answer--that is the ONLY answer, so get started right now at www.immigrate2us.net...you are wasting time that MUST go into how to file the waiver.

People here will want to help--me included--but the experts are at the other website....PLEASE go there NOW !!!

Well that makes sense on the I-130 approval comments made... That website has a lot of useful info, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Can the OP confirm that the husband is back in Mexico now? I don't see that in the original post. If he's still in the US (unlawfully) and has been since his initial entrance then it's just an adjustment of status. Only when he leaves the US, if he has ever done so or ever does, do the problems start.

(Of course the 'claiming-to-be-a-citizen' stuff is really important too.)

intx...

AOS is ONLY available for people who entered legally with inspection, unfortunately

Yes he is still in the US. Him and my relative are discussing with their attorney what to do at this point, as they have recieved their appointment notice from the consulate in Juarez. I have been looking as much as possible just in case there was some other alternative someone has found. Unfortunately, he does not qualify for AOS due to his unlawful entry and residence (unless there are any exceptions that I have missed I might have missed) I understand why the U.S. has to make this law, but it sure wrecks the honest people's day...

Assuming no claim of US citizenship and that he has NEVER left the US and re-entered and no criminal activity, CDJ is pretty good at granting waivers, BUT you have to establish the hardship on you and your familiy if he were not allowed to return to the US after being denied...this is the help you will get from www.immigrate2us.net, or from a lawyer who SPECIALIZES in waiver cases--most don't--and for those who do, the price tag is between $5K - $10K, so if you can do it yourself, there is a ton to be saved, but if there are any complications, then you MUST get a lawyer who specializes in waivers.

If they were honest, then they would not be in this situation.

They have an easy out as has been explained.

Guess it depends on what your definition of honest and easy is... As a two year old who was brought over by his relatives and had no choice in the matter and didnt even know what illegal status was until he turned 18 and started filing paperwork (Did you know about immigration laws as a kid or even when you turned 18 for that matter?) I would not call it dishonesty... And spending thousands of dollars with months of stress and not knowning where you are going to live or even if your money will be worth it or not is not what I would call easy either (not to mention the stress on your marriage). Us who have grown up in better off countries like the US will most likely never know what that feels like. I would have said the same thing you said a couple of years ago. But that is besides the point, and I appreciate the time everyone took to provide all the feedback from the posts, good or bad.

Well I never lived illegally in another country but I did have a passport from the age of 10 ish and knew that I needed documentation to visit another county. I remember that when we stayed in Hotels in France they would take the passports to register them at the local police station.

So we are to believe that he did not know he was not Mexican? I guess in some very weird cases it is possible but generally he would have to be very stupid or you expect us to be.

wow boiler, no need for harsh comments.. my husband also was brought as a child and he knew he was mexican and that he was here illegally but he didnt want to leave his family behind as that is something very hard and it is still hard for him being away from his family.. its not his fault that he was brought illegally but it is his fault that he stayed after turning 18, if my husband or i would have known that leaving to mexico before he turned 18 gave him a better chance then he would have definately left before turning 18 but we didnt know that until we got married and filing his paperwork.. but he is very honest... but back to trhe topic magical is very right.. juarez from what i have heard is pretty good with waivers. you have to prove hardships like medical reasons, financial reason, humanitarian reasons and how thisd would affect them or the child if his visa were to be denied.

Enough already !!! We are here to help find the best solution to people's problems, and anything else is just a waste of good electrons.

Kao, you really won't get much help here, so head on back to the other website, and I wish you and hubby the very best of luck. The solution is straightforward, but you personally have a lot of work to do. The first thing you should do at the other website is to read several of the waiver letters that were generated for CDJ, and then you will have an idea what lies ahead of you.

Come on back to report your success if you like, but you will be less stressed if you say good bye for now, and you can always write me a personal note if you like along the way.

That is at least honest, you role the dice you take your chances.

Unlike the other poster.
