A standalone I-212 can be filed at any time. If that's the only inadmissibility, then no need to wait until after the interview.

Can I file for it even before my approval? Just in case?

Unauthorized work in itself is not an inadmissibility.

A removal is in inadmissibility requiring a waiver.

 

If you have a specific question about you circumstances, please create a separate thread, describe the circumstances, and somebody can provide a better informed response without cluttering somebody else's thread about their circumstances.

So, I need to file the waiver as soon as I get my approval or after the interview I’m the embassy?

Hello my wife received this email yesterday, we have two cases right now, one for her citizenship and the other one my I-130, we open  MYACCOUNT in USCIS and there’s nothing new, we have the same notification Case was received for my I-130 and Biometrics for her Citizenship, could it be a mistake from uscis or should we call and ask about this email? Thank you .

Thank u so much for the info

Just now, geowrian said:

Yes, a standalone I-212 is necessary if you reapply for a visa within the 5 years due to the expedited removal.

Even if it’s not a tourist visa? 

Hello, I’m so confused please I need your advice, two years ago my tourist visa was cancelled because I worked 3 times in six months, now my I-130 is about to become current and I need to know if I need to file a waiver to continue with the process in the embassy, I’m not living in the states, my visa was canceled and I had an expedited removal and I am inadmissible for 5 years, do I need to apply for the waiver even if the process is not to obtain another tourist visa? It’s for my residence, thank you 

california service center is the worst, potomac and nebreska they are processing cases june 2017, thank you tenreyro

hello, please i need information about the processing times because i'm a little bit lost, i was reading a few forums and i saw that in june 2017 uscis was processing petitions from august2016, and today i checked the processing times, and they have only processed cases received for a month, right now the california service center says september 2016, in 7 months they have only processed 1 month of petitions? my wife filled out the i-130 in june 2017, how long would it take to get an answer about my case? thank you

thanks for the info, I didn't know it was possible on the border! 

 

my lawyer made FOIA request, he already received the files and he told me that my case was an expedited removal, he can try to get my us visa back

We are trying to piece things together with the little info you give us, we can't guess/know it all. That's why it might seem suspicious to some, but no reason to get mad. 

 

When they canceled your VISA, was it with prejudice or without prejudice? When you signed/came back, did they ever tell you that you couldn't come back in a while? Prejucide implies a ban, which prevents you from entering the country for given time, and there a waivers to lift it. Although from what you wrote, it seems that you were somewhat coerced into saying you did something illegal and you were afraid. It's a common tactic, but just for the record, they don't have the power to send you to jail just because they suspected you worked on a tourist VISA. 

What do you mean expediting removal? Do you mean you're still inside the US even though they canceled your VISA, you never went back? Are you doing AOS then? I'm a bit confused sorry.  Tell us more so we can try to help you. But also, just know that no lawyer can guarantee your B2 back,  that's something that they determine at your interview and based on your merit, but you're also in an immigration process, so the chances of getting a new VISA are slim to none.

 

they canceled my visa and told me that I had a travel ban for five years, they sent me back to my country and immediately I contacted a lawyer in the United States and he told me that we could do something about it to have my visa back

File the I 130 it will most likely get approved, and you will have to go through consular processing. While the I 130 is pending do a FOIA as well and see what your have on your file. Working without authorization is not an ineligibility for immigrant visa, however you might have misrepresentation  going on , and that is an ineligibility for an IV, but there is a waiver available for it.  The only way to find out if you will have misrepresentation  is  to go to your interview for the immigrant visa. It will take a while, but I think you have a chance. 

thank you very much, that was very useful

You can’t get your visa “back”, it’s cancelled. You’d have to apply for a new one. Given what you’ve said, it seems highly unlikely you’d be granted one.

And you believed that a CBP officer had the power to send you to jail for for 6 months for something you didn’t do? Haven’t you watched enough American cop shows to know about due process? This story doesn’t add up to me. If you had taken money with you to cover vacation expenses for 5 months, you should have had proof of that.  I’m assuming it wasn’t illegally obtained and taken over in cash here, obviously. 

I DID NOT WRITE IN THIS BLOG TO BEING JUDGED, MY HISTORY IS 100% TRUE, IF I HAD KNOWN THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEND ME TO PRISON I HAD NOT COMMITTED THE ERROR THAT I COMMITED AND WAS AWAY FROM MY FAMILY IN THESE MOMENTS, I  WROTE IN THIS BLOG TO SEEK AN ANSWER, IF I TRIED TO RECOVER MY VISA OR IF I WAITED
 THE APPROVAL OF I-130

If so, then yeah....you'll need a waiver for the immigrant visa.

 

Theoretically? Yes. Practically? No. The issue is further complicated by you admitting to working. If you're saying that wasn't true then you lied to CBP, which has its own consequences. It's a bit of a catch-22 now. The time to fight it has passed. At this point, IMHO, it's much more fruitful to focus on getting the ineligibility waived than to challenge why it was issued in the first place.

YOU MEAN ASK FOR A WAIVER AND WAIT FOR THE OTHER PROCESS, THE I-130?

Sorry but this sounds like a BS.  He would not send you to jail. He had some suspicious that you were working and talked you into admitting it. If you didn't do anything bad, you wouldn't have said yes to working. 

i didn´t do anything but i am a nice person i didn´t want to go to jail

Your family will probably have to come to see you for the time being. What made the CBP officer think you had been working? Did you have work-related items with you (business cards, copies of resumes, certificates, qualification paperwork)?

 

 

How long has your wife been a green card holder and how did she obtain that status? 

my wife has been green card holder for almost five years, the next year she will become citizen, she obteined through political asylum

i don´t know,  I think it was because the last time I went to Florida I stayed 5 months but I took five thousand dollars with me to cover my expenses and my passport had a seal of six months, I did not exceed my time in the United States, the officer wanted to canceled my visa because he forced me to say that I had worked and if  I did not say it he told me that he would send me to jail for 6 months

Was your application for entry voluntarily withdrawn or was it an expedited deportation? Was there misrepresentation?

 

Either way, you can do the I-130 and then apply for the visa. If a ban is in place, they will notify you when the visa would otherwise be approved (you can't file it earlier anyway).

 i think it was an expedited removal , i made a FOIA request in order to try and get them to reconsider and reverse the Expedited Removal, and get my visa back, i need my visa i have to go and see my family, but i need to know if a have good chances of getting my I-130 approved

Well, when someone asks you to lie just say no. He didn't have any evidence that you worked in the US anyway so he could not have done anything. The only thing he could have done is send you back to your country, but without any specific. When that happens, usually your visa is not cancelled and at least there is no record saying you admitted to working illegally or something of the sort.

 

Did he write on your visa why it was cancelled? They sometimes write some numbers. That could give you an indication of whether you will be asked the waiver or not.

 

 

he sealed my visa, it says cancelled on it 

37 minutes ago, Coco8 said:

What do you mean he made you tell him? Is it true? If so, he probably told you that you had to answer with the truth.

 

I think you might need a waiver to get the visa.

 

Also, if you were as a visitor in the US, why risk it by working? If you had applied for a GC through married in the US, you could have received a work authorization in 3-4 months. 

 

I really don't get some people. You are looking at 12-14 months wait, and add 6 months or more if you need the waiver for working. 

i wasn´t married when that happened, and when i say than the officer forced me to said that its because he did it, he made me said something i didn´t do just because he didn´t want to let me intro the country, after that happened i had to get married with my wife in another country, she returned to florida and filled the I-130, she gave birth and i couldn´t meet our baby

Why was your B2 canceled in the first place? That could pose a big reason on wither or not your I-130 is approved or not. 

the homeland security officer made my told him that i was working in the united states, he told that if do not said that to him he could send me to jail for 6 months, so i had to tell him that i worked 4 times in 5 months and he cancelled my visa, then my wife made the request and we are waitin the reply, my case was received but do not know nothing.
