Visa refused

[Kevin&crystal 0]

Hi, I recently had my K1 interview and unfortunately I was told she couldn't give me the visa at that moment because I was previously in the US and I was required a waiver. She said she will mail me instructions to how I can apply for the waiver. However, yesterday I received a call from the consulate, asking me to make a "followup" appointment because my fingerprints didn't go through or something was not complete. I made an appointment for march 12. My question is, can I fill out the required documents for the waiver and take them to her the same day or do I have to make ANOTHER appointment to turn that in?

Thats a Question you don't see here everyday. Everyones (including myself) answer would be a guess due to The Consulate's decretion and/or due process of the Petition.

I suggest: Take it with you. Have a Original and a Notorized Copy. It will be up to them. However, and a guess.

Have of Copy/Original of both Documents.

Maybe someone else has been through this. But, all Consulates and People are different.

=\ K Thanks. I hope I can just do that right then and there instead of waiting two more months

Warning: I said due Process and a guess. There is a big difference between Re-taking Fingerprints and Asking for Authorization of a Waivor. Thats what I meant by Due Process of the Petition.

But, you know I wish you luck.

That 2 months time period that they gave to you, you are going to need it to be able to write a complete hardship wavier with supporting documentation.

A hardship wavier isn't "I think the USG should allow me to return becasue I miss my spouse. Also, the harship wavier is present at a different window than the people who will be assisting you with taking new finger prints.

The US embassy in Mexico has a special unit that deals with waviers.

Oh really? So it's not the officer that interviews you that deals with the waiver?

Correct, you need to visit our neighbors over at http://immigrate2us.net and read up on waviers being present at the US embassy in Mexico.

=\ ok well thank you

You said you were denied for previously being in the US?

Was this a visa overstay or was it illegally?

While both are unlawful, there is a big difference in the eyes of immigration.

Visa overstay = You entered with a valid visa, but overstayed your welcome, or otherwise went out of status.

Illegal stay = You entered without inspection, i.e. "jumped the border."

No I didn't "jump the border" I went when I was 7 years old on a tourist visa but it expired in 2001. I didnt RETURN to Mexico until january 2011 (at the age of 22)

So you have a 10 year ban.

you, or more precisely your SO, have a lot of reading to do or more likely you need to appoint a Lawyer.

Do you have any other issues.

No, looks like that is the only issue. But I'm working on a waiver. Its a lot of work but it's not impossible.
