Didn;t show for removal hearing, can I get a waiver?

[angelbl 0]

I was in US and overstayed my visa

Married an US Citzen, but placed in removal proceedings

Now I don't know if I qualify for that waiver because I failed a removal hearing

I left US prior the court date

Angelbl probably the Court sent you a letter stating your deportation order in absentia.You failed to attend the hearing then the original removal order was entered in absentia. Call the number 1-800-898-7180. It's an automated system,have your A# number when you call,if they say you have a deportation order, and you are married to a U.S. Citizen you qualify for the waivers I-601(unlawful presence) and I-212(deportation).

I checked and Yes, I have a removal order for absentia.

I am going to the interview at RDJ Consulate soon, my case was closed by NVC yesterday.(08/06)

I'm waiting the interview date. I was aprehensive because I've heard there is no waiver to someone that failed a removal hearing...

When was your hearing? When did you leave? When was the removal order?

You want to make sure you aren't a deportation absconder, that's a whole other issue

Good luck

Nope, but you'll find out at the interview. I would have it already prepared incase they allow you to submit it at the interview

Good luck
