Sister found inadmissible under INA 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I), 5 year bar. waiver?

 Share

Hi, 

 

I hope this is the right section of the waiver. My sister was a holder of a non-immigrant visa, however, she was being deported at the port of entry for being found inadmissible under INA 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I). Therefore, the visa is subsequently cancelled as well. The officer suspected her working illegally in US while I have found inconsistencies in the interview record (My sister cannot speak English)

 

I am thinking to find a lawyer, however, before paying a lot of money that I want to know first if there is any waiver avaialble for such inadmissibility? Or anything can be done for her to be able to reapply the visa again? (She currently has a 5-year bar).

 

I have searched some forms, but they are for all other kinds of inadmissibility. None of them is for INA 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) section inadmissibility

 

Thanks very much! :)

An I-212 would be the form to request an exception to the inadmissibility due to the expedited removal within the 5 year period that she is barred.

 

INA 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) just means she was determined to be inadmissible for being an intending immigrant without a visa that permits immigrant intent. This is not the cause of the 5 year bar. This was the reason she was refused entry and subsequently removed.

 

The bar is due to INA 212(a)(9)(A) https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title8-section1182&num=0&edition=prelim

One can be subject to immediate deportation at the border under the clause you cited if the Border Patrol Officer is not convinced that the person who seeks entry has overcome the burden of immigrant intent.

So, am wondering - did your sister have and show to the Border Patrol Office:

1) A return ticket

2) Sufficient money on hand to purchase a return ticket

3) A credit card to purchase a return ticket

4) A scheduled length of stay

 

If not, how is/was a person to come to the determination, with a high degree of confidence, that she would not have to work to earn money to buy a ticket?

 

Failing the above, immediate deportation and an associated five year ban is not unheard of. In fact, some would say, is appropriate, in this case, should this be the case.

 

 

Profile pic - Rainbow Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village - Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Why this for the profile pic?  Often in movies and on TV when they show Hawaii they show this beach/view. So, instead of doing Kauai or some other locale, we decided to do here, so that whenever some show shows Hawaii and this view, we will see where we were married.

Thank you very much! I have just stumpled upon this form, and I am currently reading the instruction.

 

As stated by the instruction, since she will need to reapply the visa at the US Consulate. This means that she has to go through the normal process by submitting DS-160 online. And only until when the US Consultate ask her to submit the I-212 along with the evidence, she can do that right? (So not like how we deal with ROC, or AOC where we send all the applications first)

 

Thanks again!

Yes, as you can see I am a conditional PR living with my US citizen spouse. We both have written a letter that we will be paying for everything.

 

Unfortunately, because she doesn't understand English, she was not able to tell me what exactly happened. Everything was in a hurry and in a mess. She was also in a panic. 

 

Obviously, I didn't get the chance to talk to the officer before she was being removed from the US. However, after reviewing the documents issued by CBP, we have found serious inconsistencies. For example, she was suspected to work for my company during her last stay in 2018. However, my company was not even created until March 2019. So this cannot be right. Also, even her daughter's birthday was wrong on the transcript of the interview.

What visa in particular would she be applying for?

 

If it's for another non-immigrant visa that doesn't permit immigrant intent (i.e. a B-2/tourist visa), she must both:

1) Convince the CO that she is not an intending immigrant and otherwise won't violate status, and

2) Get the I-212 approved

 

To be blunt, this would be a very uphill challenge in the near future IMHO. It's basically asking them to disregard what the officer recently determined and show that she qualifies for the exception ("waiver" although it's technically a "consent to reapply" instead of a waiver).

The consulate can provide specific advice on how/when to provide the I-212 (per https://www.uscis.gov/forms/direct-filing-addresses-for-form-i-212-application-for-permission-to-reapply-for-admission-into-the).

Note: Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant's residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a visitor visa. If you choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember it is not one of the factors used in determining whether to issue or deny the visa.

Yes I totally understand. Oh and actually to be precise, it has been one year. She was denied entry in July 2019.

 

To be honest, even though I am in US, her family is thinking to immigrate to Canada. (By starting with study there first) However, someone said that US shares immigration information with Canada (Even if they don't, when Canada sees the big cross on the US visa, they surely will ask too) so I thought that by proving that US has "forgiven" her, it will be easier for Canada to approve the application.

Yes, I see.

Well, it seems to me your letter was not enough. You really needed to go ahead with a round trip ticket for her - which would have had a specific return date.

(For a non-immigrant visa, letters of support are not how visitor's visa work in America, though they might carry some weight in some other countries. Visitors need to show they qualify on their own merits...for the US.)

Had she had the return ticket, she might have been all set.

That, it seems to me, was at least one significant red flag.

Sorry.

Thanks for your explanation. And they are actually trying to move to Canada, I was just hoping by proving that she actually was "forgiven" by the US, they will have an easier time getting approved.

Please bear in mind that the entire immigration apparatus of the US requires that their staff (Embassy, USCIS, etc.)  presume that every visitor is an intending immigrant, and that the burden is on the visitor to convince them (overcome the assumption) otherwise.

Not having a return ticket, but instead, merely saying you will cover her while here saved you money, or so you thought...but in the end did not make Border Patrol think in your favor.

And if she did speak English well, and had indicated her intent of immigrating to Canada at some point soon, the presumption of ties to her own country would have been questionable, and for that reason alone another red flag would have been created.

So, trying to increase your chances of her immigrating to Canada by being "forgiven" by America, is questionable. Focus on Canada, and spare yourself the time, money, effort, and hope, I would say.

Because if your/her goal IS to immigrate to Canada straight up, then immigrant intent is clear, so there is no problem or question.

Just my view.

The US and Canada do share immigration applicant and entry/departure information.

That said, the bar is only on the US side of things. Getting that waived wouldn't really matter to Canada IMHO...the requirements for the Canadian visa are what they will use to determine eligibility for the visa.

If determined otherwise eligible for the visa, then they would do the waiver.

If they were to determine that she is not eligible for the visa (i.e. due to INA 214(b) - immigrant intent), they would skip the waiver as the only result is a refusal even if that were approved.

Gotcha.

The US and Canada do share immigration applicant and entry/departure information.

That said, the bar is only on the US side of things. Getting that waived wouldn't really matter to Canada IMHO...the requirements for the Canadian visa are what they will use to determine eligibility for the visa.

 

If determined otherwise eligible for the visa, then they would do the waiver.

If they were to determine that she is not eligible for the visa (i.e. due to INA 214(b) - immigrant intent), they would skip the waiver as the only result is a refusal even if that were approved.

Okay thank you very much for your explanations and opinions. I will discuss further with my family regarding this matter :)

if the Border Patrol Officer

Note that there is a difference between "Border Patrol Agent" and "Customs and Border Protection Officer." https://www.cbp.gov/careers/apply-now Port-of-Entry booths are staffed by Customs and Border Protection Officers. ("CBP Officers" or "CBPO" for shorthand)

Profile pic - Rainbow Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village - Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Why this for the profile pic?  Often in movies and on TV when they show Hawaii they show this beach/view. So, instead of doing Kauai or some other locale, we decided to do here, so that whenever some show shows Hawaii and this view, we will see where we were married.
