Denied entry to US before my husband filed for me

[Sammyann 13]

Hi all I am new to this site and I really need some advice

I am a Canadian citizen I am married over three years we only filed my I130 on 10 may 2014 after I was denied entry into the U.S. my husband and I had some financial set backs and we were deciding i should move or he move to me in Canada They deny me entry because I had no job at the time and they even took my finger prints and pics

Have anyone ever had this problem and do u know if it will cause problems with the processing of my papers

Thank you for your response in advance

Yes I had that problem - x2. I was denied entry twice before my husband filed for me. Here's how it was discussed at the interview

CO -I see you listed you were denied entry a few times.

Me - Yes, the officer believed I had immigrant intent at the time I was trying to enter the US.

CO - I see, trying to get down to see him huh? He's cute, I see why

US - ha ha ha ha ha

Next question.

Because I was always honest about it, because I never lied or tried to hide it, it was a non issue. If you do the same, it should be a non issue for you too.

good luck

Hi canadian_wife

I just read your post and I too have been denied entry to the us twice in a row. My interview is coming up and I see that at your interview, you being denied entry did not affect your visa.

Did you have a flag on your passport as a result, and was this removed once you got your visa?

Also, how long did you have to wait to get your visa back in hand after the interview?

I am really nervous about my denial, even though I was just trying to visit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I was admitted to the US after my 2 denials after I could prove strong ties to Canada. Once I was admitted as a tourist, and then left (I was actually give an I94 as well) I believe my flag was lifted. I have not had any issues since.

I waited about 2 weeks to get my visa back in hand, although that was back in 2009.

If you were honest, then you have no problems. Stay honest and use it to our advantage. "Yes, I wanted to visit, he is my husband/fiancé/etc. Once I was denied I stayed in Canada and now am applying for an immigrant visa.

Good luck
