Good Afternoon Everyone,

please i hope someone with the knowledge will be able to help me out please. in 2012 i was refuse entry to the US, i was visiting my uncle at that time, but was also married and my husband was also in the US, they find out i was married, and said i was moving in which was not true. so i was denied entry. my photos was taking,finger print.

please my question is now am waiting on an interview date for my IR1 visa, i want to know if this could affect me from getting my visa. husband is US citizen and my 10 month old son also has a US passport. (citizen).

please any help will be very nice. thanks and a very happy new year.

It could affect it yes- at the very least, expect some questions at the interview. But we need more details:

- Did you lie at any stage (saying you weren't married when you were etc)?

- UK citizens on the VWP are not usually pulled into secondary inspection, any idea why you were?

- Did you sign any papers at the time? If so, what did they say? Is there anything written in your passport?

thanks a lot for the quick response. no i didnt lie, i was not even asked about being married, they found a check in my bag, which giving to me as a present because we got married in the state. he told me i was lying that is not a gift but i was working because no one will give me that amount of money for a present. that is when they took my uncle wife number to call her and ask her some question, i dont know what was asked, but he came back with my hubby name date we were married etc.

plz i was told to go through security luggage check that is when i got that problem. yes i sign some papers to say i lie, i just sign because i was sooo tired, and was been sent straight back home and i just wanted to be over with and come home.

plz this is the number 212 7ai, i can see the rest well is something like this 212 cca205526203, i dont know if is right. thanks

If you try to say that the papers are wrong and that you signed them simply because you were tired etc then you could be in trouble and be slapped with a misrepresentation ban.

What you are listing as the number could mean you simply withdrew your application for admission- ie you just turned around. If so, all is good and other than a few questions, it should not affect your spousal visa. However, you mention in your reply that you signed something saying you lied. If you indeed did, that could be more serious, as it could be material miss-representation- ie immigration fraud, which would carry a ban.

Why did you hire a lawyer? What a waste of money for this.

i want, but i just wanted to know if they will ask me question on it, and also if they will ask me to bring in the paper that i sign. thanks

They won't need you to bring it, they'll have everything in the system already. Your biometrics will bring it up. They probably will ask you about it. However as already mentioned, if you say you lied and signed you're in for an uphil battle.

When you filled out your visa application they ask have you been ever been denied entry. You should have put in yes that way if it comes up at the interview you can explain yourself. As long as your honest I don't see it being a big deal. They would not have let you come this far if it was totally a huge problem. Be honest explain the situation, and remember that incident was separate from this current approval.

Is it a denied entry or withdrawl of application? From what I was told undergoing a nexus application they're considered two separate things.

If you feel more comfortable with a lawyer just make sure it's a GOOD lawyer.
