212 a 7 A i I

[Dude1979 0]

I was removed at port of entry under 212 a 7 A i I  ........in 1996 my father took me to U.S. When I was 16 years old on a B1/B2 visa and left me with a relative but I overstayed for 9 years during that time I went to school and I worked illegally. I dated my girlfriend a U.S. Citizen for three years and decided to get married  in 2002 we Filed my change of status in early 2005 at the uscis office but our marriage did not work out so I left the U.S. In November 2005 voluntarily. she had the marriage anuled and I have no contact with her since then..... Now I have a family with three children and have  3 businesses  in my country. in 2016 I was granted with a B1B2 visa for ten years . So on October 2016 I decided to fly to US and visit my U.S. citizens sisters and stay with them for two months but at the airport I was denided entry under  212 a 7 A i I. The officer made the following observations 1-due to your prior immigration violation 2- my ticket was purchased 4 days ago 3- my ticket was purchased by my sister 4- it appears you have cleared your bank account (because I had 9.000$ on me) 5- you are willing to leave your family and work for two months. And gave me a five year bar, I told the officer that I don't intend to stay just visit family and do some bussines like buying cosmetics and bring it to my country which I already have done online my intentions were buy large quantities and get better prices.  What should I do? I need to go back to US. Should I File a 212 waiver. Pls help

First, need =! want. You want to return to the US, you don't need to. 

 

Second, CBP have the final say and exclusive jurisdiction to decide which non-US citizens to admit. In this case they have decided that you are an intending immigrant without an immigrant visa and there is a good chance you will remain in the US beyond any period of authorised stay. 

 

You can try again once your five year bar has expired. 

 

It's possible you can re-apply for another B-2 visa before your five year bar has ended, but you'd likely have to file an I-212 waiver as part of that process. Given your history, that's going to be extremely difficult/impossible to do.
