I-212 I-601 forms, please advise.

[Stacey smithem 0]

Okay heres my story.

I went to the U.S. on Sept 2015 (from my home country the UK)with my son (who is now 15) to visit my fiance on a visa waiver. We got married on november 2015.  I applied I-485 and I-130.  Was refused due to lack of evidence, a year later my son and I were approved the I-797 petition of alien relative I-130.

In November 2019 I was arrested for domestic violence, the charges were dropped, I was bailed out but ICE detained me and I spent 2 months in jail while they got the paperwork to send me and my son back. 

I got deported on 17th of January 2020. As I overstayed on the visa waiver and wavered all my rights to a trial by using the visa waiver.

ICE gave me and my son papers just before we boarded the plane me and my son were given papers for a 10 year bar from returning to the U.S. 

I have messaged several lawyers asking for information on what papers I need to file to lift the 10 year bar, but have got a few different answers, some have said I need an I-601, and others saying an I-601 and I-212,  and of course quotes of around $7,500 to get the bar lifted.

I would very much appreciate any information on the papers needed, experience people here have had regarding the 10 year bar.

I have no criminal history in the U.S. or the UK.

Me and my husband are distraught at being apart and miss each other very much.

Lets start with the obvious solution, could he move?

 

Son

So assuming he was deported then yes he would need an 1 212, no overstay ban because he was under 18 and has not accrued illegal presence.

 

You

Well deportation as above plus a 10 year ban for overstaying so both I 212 and I 601. The tricky but is how the DV  will be viewed.

 

Has your Husband done anything, seems you have an approved I 130. The fees quoted do not sound unreasonable given the situation.

I am curious about something (or I misunderstood).  When was your I-485 denied?

We own a house there, where I am now is very expensive to buy a house. 

He has family there, children, mum, dad, cousins.

Has my husband done anything?

I don't understand ?

Yes we have the approved I-130

I have researched a lot and was wondering if it would be a good idea to do this myself.

My I-485 was denied about 3 yrs ago.

Extra info

[Boiler 43,757]

Well they can be done by yourself, other people have, I just wondered if that was realistic taking into account your history so far?

 

Has your husband kept the I 130 alive, redirected it for consular processing?

[Stacey smithem 0]

Kept it alive? I thought that you had to reapply again once it had been refused.  

[Boiler 43,757]

You said your adjustment was refused, well they most likely issued a RFE which you did not follow up with.

[Stacey smithem 0]

Yes I do remember them sending a RFE which I sent more information but must have not been enough for them. I thought that I had researched enough and sent in the relivent papers.

[Boiler 43,757]

Well adjusting status is relatively easy, waivers are much harder which is why I am wondering if it would not be better for your Husband to use a Lawyer.

So I'm assuming my I-485 has been timed out.

I thought that I would still have to apply to remove the ban showing extreme hardship regardless of the status of the I-485?

Your I-485 is history.....now, your only options are to get approved waivers and attain an IR-1 spousal visa.

Okay Thank you both so much.

I will start to gather the correct forms, information and forms needed.

I think @Boiler is correct.  You might want an experienced attorney...good luck.

Thank you!

I have another question, I have the I-797 notice of action papers:

Case type I130 - petition for alien relative.

Type notice: Approval notice

Section: husband or wife of us citizen, 201b (b) INA

 

Type notice: Approval notice

Section: unmarried child (under age 21) of us citizen, 201(b) INA

Are they invalid? 

I have looked at IR1 and it says to file an I-130.
