Fiance illegally in country many years ago...

[AmGe 4]

Hi all,

Well my fiancé are only 2 weeks in to the K-1 journey. The last stage of interview is a ways off but was wondering if anyone has faced something similar in their case. My fiancé was illegally in the U.S. many years ago, about 10. He left voluntarily. He did receive a ticket (motor vehicle) while here. Anybody have a similar circumstance? If so, did it come up in the interview? Would it be a factor considered in approval? Thanks for feedback!

My aunts ex was here illigally from DR he entered through Puerto Rico. He was deported and he committed several crimes the first he used fake papers and second he was arrested for narcotics. He was banned for 10 yrs he did his time... He was allowed re entry into the usa she brought him however he ended up doing some bad things so there not together.

Very long story ??? but at least your fiancee wasnt a convict like my aunts ? Theres hope...

Ps i do belive he had to get some type of permission though because of the crime from the senator and they had children in common

Best of luck???

Need more information. Did he enter the US illegally or legally and then overstay? If the latter what status was he in? How long did he stay beyond the date on his I-94 and before he left? How many years ago exactly did he leave? Did he enter the US more than once or was that the only time he was in the US?

The ticket won't be an issue.

He will definitely be asked about it. How much of an issue it will be depends o the questions asked by newacct.

Hi! ok so i am going through what your going through!

My(Now husband) He was in the U.S 10 years, Never any crimial background Only one speeding ticket && He left the U.S voluntarily in Oct of 2014! (I left with him) To mexico

We had our first child in June of 2015

We married in October 2015 & Started his paper work rite away!

We are now waiting on our interview (7months after starting out paperwork)

I have a great lawyer who specializes in immigration only (She is in the U.S) She has assured us that we will be denied his visa at our interview

BECAUSE he entered the U.S without inspection and was their over 1years (He Will be on a 10 year ban)

SO because of that we are starting the process of a (WAIVER, Extreme Hardship) That will appeal his 10years ban and (From what my lawyer is saying) WILL get him his papers (She is almost certain)

We could be given an interview date any day now

Most likely it will be in juarez mexico (We live in Mx State)

I hope your husband has his paper work for a waiver being set up and i wish you all the best of luck! I would LOVE to know what happens in your case Fell free to email me anytime

Hi there,

Thanks for your response. He entered illegally when he was 17 and stayed for 3 years. In August, it will be 10 years since he left. He left voluntarily; so he was not "caught" and deported. He only entered once.

Hi! ok so i am going through what your going through!

Thanks for sharing your story! I am thinking that we would not be able to even bother with a waiver until the interview, Am I wrong? This year will make it 10 years since he left the U.S. We aren't married yet; going through the K-1 route.

We are currently waiting on our interview also and our lawyer has already began the process of starting our waiver! From what she has told me is we could get out second interview anywhere from days to two weeks after the first interview! Im still new to all this also so i have a ton of questions myself but i hope anything i can give helps

Then he should have no problem getting a visa after August. No waiver needed.
