    Visa denial ban for 2 years

    in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America

    Posted

    I email the Embassy and they said I don't need to file another I130. He has to provide new DS230 part 1 & 2, new police record, new medical and from me employment letter, affidavit of support, my tax returns snd W2's and also pay new application fee of $404.00 . They didn't say where to send these to but I assume it's to the embassy in Jamaica been as they have his file. Also they said after July 2011, I should email and request an appt or I can call.

    Well this doesn't sound so bad, given what you've already been through. What is the application fee for? Am I understanding that you can go ahead and submit the materials, and just ask for the interview in July?

    No need to run from doctor to doctor... They have no power... All they do is report what they see ....and so any "good" doctor will be looking out for the same things hence same conclusion.

    I don't necessarily agree with this. The first doc that he went to back in 2006 told him several deliberate lies to get him to admit to his last smoking weed almost 3 years PRIOR to his medical. His actual medical/drug test, per the interviewing officer's report & doctors report came back CLEAN. Yet the DOC was the one who made the decision (I saw the paperwork) that stated that he considered my husband a substance abuser and recommended denial of his visa. The things that he told my husband were absurd. And after doing more research, this doctor had done this to some other people as well. So, yes--the doc DOES have considerable influence.

    My husband was ban for 2 years for admitting he smoked weed over a year before medical. His ban is up July 2011. Do you know if the embassy will contact him or should contact them when it's time? Do I need to file another I130. Have anyone already went thru this and what was the outcome. I'm so nervous. for his second medical do you recommend he go back to the same doctor

    The Embassy will not contact him. HOWEVER, you can go ahead and file your new I-130 petition now. My husband and I went through this a couple of years back. Long story short his ban was up in Oct 1, 2009. I filed the I-130 in November of '08, and his interview came up Oct 7, 2009, 6 days after he was eligible and his visa was GRANTED with no problems or questions about the reasons for his past denial! He will have to do another medical. Because I didn't like the way the ish went down with the way the 1st doc did, I had my husband go to a different doc b/c I just didn't trust them. Good luck to you and PM me if you have any questions or need assistance!

    Hi Queenie! Good luck to you! If it were me, I would go ahead and get a co-sponsor just in case. I know they will usually look at your last 2-3 years of tax returns. You don't really wanna give them anything extra to scrutinize, so to make it easy for them, just get the co-sponsor. Besides, there have been recent cases where they were told AT THE INTERVIEW that they needed a co-sponsor and the spouse who travelled down to JA had to come back and go through all that rigamaroll. Hope this helps!

    The Embassy at Jamaica is VERY tricky and can be problematic...

    What I mean by freedom and culture is that they are easily swayed to do wrong things whenever they around their own kind, I am a Jamaican and I have seen and heard of many who felt that someone from yaad is not going to tell them wrong because they are from the same country, therefore he might be seeing or hearing someone doing this same thing he is doing. Anther thing is because he could do whatever he wants when he was in Jamaica he feels he can do the same here and we all know not all off them believe in committed relationship and sometimes we have to train them. Any way Tammy girl the decision is up to you, and only you know what your heart can take and love will make us forgive the devil if he told us he wont tempt us again. At the end of the day he will see that the grass is not always greener on the other side and he will never be happy unless its with you, I believe that what God join together let know man put it asunder and he would never allow him to come into your life if there was not a lesson to be learnt in all of this for both of you..

    Keep the faith sista and know that God will never give you more than you can manage

    Ok, one more thing and then I'mma go. In no way can I go along with the comment that "they are easily swayed to do wrong things whenever they are around their own kind." A MAN will not be easily swayed. Not a man with a sense of purpose, goals, respect, etc. Hell, my husband has plenty of friends still back in Jamaica doing stuff, but he realized a long time ago that that kind of lifestyle and what they were doing was not the same kind of life that he wanted to lead. Did he cut them off completely? Nope, but his priorities are different than theirs and he (and other Jamaican/American couples/relationships that I know)has the power and sense of mind to manifest his own destiny and what he wants for HIMSELF and for US as a family. And as far as the "training" goes...you train a dog or a bird or a ferret. I don't have to train someone to commit to me. Either you choose to or you choose not to. My expectations will always be clear, as his should be. It just seems that these sweeping generalizations, as if Jamaican men are not capable of doing right and thinking on their own, are really over-the-top, unfair, and unfounded, IMO.

    Tammy, first off let me start by saying that I am truly sorry that you are dealing with all of this. I remember reading about your story a while back. I know that you would have never pictured this scenario for yourself, but with that being said. I feel like you have received alot of good advice from the VJers up here. I would definitely take precautions to protect yourself physically, financially, emotionally, etc. I don't agree with the poster who said that Jamaican men love their freedom and want to be around their own culture. In my opinion, (and its just that)...its not so much about having freedom as it is about having LOVE and RESPECT for your spouse. Both the wife and husband have a certain amount of freedom in a marriage...heck no one is chained to anyone without the opportunity to experience fellowship and fun outside of the home--however that does not preclude the commitment and respect that he should have for your feelings and your marriage. You should ALWAYS be his FIRST priority! Your feelings should ALWAYS be his FIRST consideration. And vice versa. And if this is not so, then things will never be right. He's already bold enough to let you know what he is doing...I'm sure texting this woman is only the tip of the iceberg. Drinking and driving, and behaving recklessly are NOT the actions of a man that wants to do all that he can to make a better life for himself and his wife. Take care of YOU. Do all your research about what your options are, as well as your responsibilities should he remain in the US and become a public charge. Lean on the folks here at VJ because there is alot of helpful information here. No one deserves to be treated like this...no one does. And if he can't give you what you need and be the husband that he vowed he would be, then chalk this up as a life lesson, no matter how hard it may be, and try to move forward. Rely on your family and friends for support. You will need them through this difficult time. (F)

    For whatever reason, the 2011 poverty guidelines were taken down. Before they did though, I saved a copy to my computer. I uploaded a copy here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B9bvTEwLyHz1MTFlZDI3Y2YtZDU3OS00YjY3LWI0YjktNGExYWQwNDU5OTZk&hl=en And you can always find the 2010 poverty guidelines here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

    Awesome! Thanks!

    Goodmorning yardies! Hope we're having a wonderful start to our week :)

    As some of you already know, I found out that I'm a carrier for fragile x and ended up having to test the baby to see if he would be affected or not. Just got the results this morning and unfortunately he is going to be mentally retarded.

    As for myself, I'm pretty confident that its not the end of the world but I'm worried about my husband because he's not saying much about how he feels about it. As some of you may know, Jamaicans have a tainted picture on mentality, they don't believe it exists and they describe it with one or two words "fool or mad man/woman"

    Have a good day everyone.

    KJ--I know this is exactly the opposite of what you were hoping for, but I agree with what Dan-Dan said. The only person who TRULY knows outcomes are God! Medicine is not an exact science, remember that-and indicators are not definite. Now with that being said, do all you can to research the condition, and have your husband research too. And when you're researching, think not only in terms of challenges, but abilities as well. I like what Finesse said--see if you can contact the ARC or some other formal community group to assist you with getting a better understanding as to what may lie ahead. And try to reassure husband that there are still many opportunities for his son--that having a diagnosis does not mean that his child will be an invalid, incompetent, etc. And most of all, remember that we are all here for you. If you need me to look stuff up, I will. Whatever I can do to help I will. Just continue to pray and keep the faith. Take care of yourself and baby boy. You and husband don't forget to support each other!
