So im hoping this is the right place I haven't been on VJ since my wife got her GC in 2011, but this site helped then and im hoping it will help now. So the deal is my brother in law seems to have fallen hard for a girl in the states (hes German) and he was enrolled in school here and they started dating. The school thing didn't work out for him so he went home. about 6 weeks ago i think he came over to the states to talk to her about the future and they decided that they wanted to live together before applying for a k1. Which after going through that process myself its a smart idea.

So he had a 6 month tourist visa and he was going come and hang out with her to see if they could even live together, today he got denied entry upon arrival in Chicago and during their interrogation they found out he misled them because he didn't say he was coming to stay with his girlfriend (because they would of denied him for that) so he said he was visiting a friend. but then they found paper work in his luggage about the k1 and other documents that may lead a investigator to believe that his intent was to stay in the states, which it wasn't he was just trying to be prepared for his GF.

So now he's on his way home and Im trying to figure out what his options are. is there a wavier or an appeals process to help him out.

Not much for options. IF he already had the visitors visa and left from a student visa they aren't opt to give him any non immigrant entry.,

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

K1 or she can go and stay with him.

This won't affect the chances for a K1, but him getting another visitor visa over the next couple of years are slim to none. He also can't enter under ESTA for the forseeable future.

Very unfortunate incident. They can file for a K1 now, if they choose to do so, or the gf can come to Germany to visit...if married, she can come to Germany and register there - no separate visa process or waiting outside the country.

If marriage is not on the cards, she can come visit and apply for a work permit - this requires special skills, which I don't know if she has them. There are also study permits and au pair permits, if that is an option.

He lied and CBP found out. CBP decision is not appealable. A waiver would just tie him with paperwork and unnecessary fees.

Suggest the girlfriend visit him, and they look at a K-1 down the road if that's what they both want.

A waiver only comes into play if the Consulate would issue him another B and he has a ban.

I doubt either applies.

Actually it's way easier than that to get a work permit in Germany. The Internet and what people say makes it sounded really difficult especially considering that it says that the employer will have to prove that this person has special skills etc. I have two U.S. friends who obtained a work visa for Germany just by having a letter from the employer stating that they offered them a job. That's it. Just a short letter that the person will get a job if he receives a work visa. One of them was offered this job at a German bakery...

Aw man, I feel so bad for your brother... How long have they been dating?

It'll be alright but the visiting part will be more on her side for the time being.
Here's what's up, if you survive a long distance relationship for a while, odds are slim that you won't survive living together. There is no way to prepare you anyway. 6 months on a love vacay is not the same as living and working together for the rest of your life. So if they're really in love, they'll find their way and just go with the K1 visa when they're ready.

03/02/2015: filed I-129F at the USCIS Texas

03/13/2015: received confirmation (Form I-797), file will now get routed to the USCIS California Service Center for processing. We wait :)
