Looked it up, Question 15 may be relevant, but Question 23 would require a full disclosure, so how did you get around that?

It may of course have been deemed to be spent.

thanks for all your concerns on this matter......

when i applied in '95 thru my wife for an H4 visa, i didn't even remember that application for a tourist visa back in '93. all i know back then was we got denied for a visa. the consul who interviewed me at that time in '95 was just asking for marriage license and pictures of our wedding and that was it. i just remember of that bank acct when my dad told me when they got the DS-230 forms, reading that question on form II.

They didn't ask if you'd ever been denied a visa before? They asked us that!

no. i remember the consul who interviewed me just asked for some proof of our marriage (pictures, license etc), that was it, got my visa in a week.

by the way, it's been 9 weeks now since the NVC completed the application for my parents, and up to now i still haven't got any appointment letter for their physical and interview. why is it taking so long? does anybody here have the same problem going on or happened before? thanks.......

thanks for all your sincerity on this matter, i really appreciate it what you guys are suggesting and doing for me. boiler, i have an immigration lawyer for consultation on this and he is standing by for what will be the results of their coming interview. thanks on that website that you send jenny, i will contact them too. all you guys are so good. thanks again....

thanks for the response boiler. i think you guys are right, my parents fate in obtaining this visa is in the consul's hands. lying after another is just trouble. but i processed this petition for them legally straight. no lying on the side or whatsoever. i will let you know what happens.

iam not lying here. i came to this country legally, and i admit, my parents made a mistake 13 yrs ago. the happiness i felt when i did get the approval on their petition was so overwhelming, but come to think there was this one glitch on this process. i'm earning a decent salary here, plus my parents have their own business back home, so don't you worry about your medicaid stuff, so trust me, they will not be a burden to you or to anyone else. all i'm asking is opinions, end results, proper guidance on how to get pass this through. but i appreciate all your comments and suggestions. thanks again....

my parents talked to an imigration atty in manila and he suggests that answer question# 30.f. on form DS-230 II, "NO". because once you answer "yes" on any of those questions, you will be permanently barred entering the U.S.. any opinions, comments on this one again. thanks again....

Were they offered a reason for the denial in 2001?

thanks. i think the misrepresantation back in '93 wasn't brought up (not sure), i'll call my parents tonight. they also have an appointment this monday with a lawyer in manila. what do you think are the + and - on this situation?

thanx for your sincere opinion. i will do that......gel

thanks for all your replies. that is what i told them too, to answer 'yes'. i'm just hoping and praying that the consul who will interview them in manila will grant them the visa we're waiting for. it's been 13 yrs now since that happen. i remember they tried to apply again in 2001, no misrepresentation this time, but still got denied. my dad is 60 already and my mom is 58.....gel

please help!!! my parents are in the process of having their immigrant visa interview in manila. the problem is, my father has a history of misrepresantation or fraud on bank accounts back in 1993, applying for a tourist visa. they are so hesitant in answering question #30.f. on their DS-230 part II. what are the consequences, chances of them getting approved or denied? this is their long awaited dream. thanks in advance.....gel

what are the consequences of my parents, getting approved or denied, on their coming interview for an immigrant visa, who has a history of misrepresantation when we (including me) applied for a tourist visa back in 1993. i am now a us citizen, migrated here back in 1995, through my wife, who's a nurse. i filed the petition for my parents last oct. '05 and they have been approved all the way. they already have their DS-230 I and II but so hesitant to answer question #30.f. stating "...who seeks or has sought a visa, entry into the u.s.a., or any immigration benefit by fraud or misrepresantation...", to be answered "YES" or "NO". any opinions on this case? please help, this is their long awaited dream! thanks in advance.....gel
