Hi @Hopelessincanada, I’m wondering if you’ve had any updates in the past few weeks? I’m in a very similar situation. Also, did your finance try to visit the US after the denial and was refused entry? I’m scared to try even though I used to visit every weekend.

Hi penny, 

I don’t have any updates— a third request has gone out to LegalNet, so we’re up to 90 days no response from them. 
 

we have not tried to cross the border, our lawyer said he’d now be denied due to this process. It’s infuriating, considering we’ve traveled freely with no issue. I deeply regret even starting this process in the first place. It has been nothing but a nightmare for our family. To boot, he was conditionally approved recently for a nexus pass too- how does that work!!! We’ve delayed the interview because we anticipate they will also deny that once he brings up the visa—- we don’t need to flush more money down the toilet. It’s just a perfect example of the useless govt bureaucracy.

How recently was he conditionally approved for the Nexus? Was it before or after his consular interview? I have held a NEXUS for over 5 years and received notice only 3 days after my interview that my nexus pass was revoked, I assume due to "inadmissibility to the US". Funny how quick these govt departments can move when they deem it important enough. So you're probably right, he'd likely be denied and my guess is that CBP (who issues the nexus) is already aware of his inadmissibility standing without him even bringing it up.
