I thought your petition was F3?

This is a different situation. I am writing for someone. Read my note.

You have a pending petition, she doesn't.  That is most likely the reason you were denied and she wasn't.

No no. I was approved im the one who has a pending petition. My partner was the one who got denied. 

Were both females btw

Note: I will be speaking as the person who got approved of a B1/B2 visa to avoid confusion.

Was this just for you or for both you and your spouse?

Yes. For both of us.

Wondering the same.

OP: you need to give details. The answers you give only leave us guessing and unless we have ALL of the info, no one can tell you what to do.

Yes by writing the confession, and officer said it is sufficient to fall into timely retraction.

You filed and got i601 approved?  Usually this is done AFTER the interview. 

 

There is an alternate strategy.

 

The parent who is NOT the F3 beneficiary enters the US on IR2 visa.

 

Files i130 for daughter F2A as backup.

 

The parent who is F3 stays behind to wait for F3 interview. 

No no, we didnt file i-601 anymore. We attended 3rd interview last 2020 and was able to fix it. 

I am considering this option too.  I can stay abd wait for f3 visa interview.

Oh, your case also involves misrepresentation.  Definitely not DIY.  You do need to consult a competent US immigration lawyer.

 

 

This has been fixed. But thank you.

*** Moved from Bringing Family of LPR forum to Bringing Family of USC forum, where topics about IR5 and F3 cases are discussed ***

 

 

Your use of the term "change status" might be confusing.  "Change of status" usually refers to a specific process to change from one non-immigrant status to another non-immigrant status.  Both IR5 and F3 are immigrant statuses, so change of status does not apply.

 

Also, there's no process to change directly from IR5 to F3 visa category, as that would mean your daughter (IR5 petitioner) changed into your mother (F3 petitioner), which would be impossible.

 

Maybe your lawyer means than you should complete the IR5 process, then enter the US to become an LPR and stay while waiting for the F3 interview schedule.  Once you have the F3 appointment, leave the US and formally abandon your LPR status by filing I-407.  Then complete the F3 process.  I highly doubt the consulate will let you apply for F3 visa while being an LPR, so I-407 would be required.

 

Sounds possible, but no idea if it will actually work.  The key point here is whether the consulate will keep your F3 case alive even after your IR5 case has been approved.

 

Regardless, I'm with @Crazy Cat and @Boiler on this one -- why complicate the process when F3 is current anyway?  You're just waiting for an interview schedule now.

 

This is an excellent information for me. Thank you so much.

Who is outside the US....You or your parents??

I am outside US with my wife and daughter. My mother petitioner of F3 passed. 
 

i have one daughter in the US who filed ir-5 petition for me.

Sorry for the confusion. i meant i need to get to the US asap.

If your F3 priority date is current, why not just complete the process as an F3??  

This is where i am torn. I know 2 people, HR reaffirmed, 1 year DQ’d and still no interview for them. 

Maybe ir-5 has faster process. 
 

i just need to get my parents here asap.

New one on me

Guess i’ll just have to consult her again.

I don't think an immigration attorney would say that.

It was Tancinco who said that. Even gave me figures on how much she would charge. 
 

Im hoping there is someone here that has similar situation. 

Yes. Enter in ir-5 category. Then when f3 is ready, since we are waiting for nvc, i can go back to change my category to f3. I thought that’s what the lwayer said when i consulted them. She said i could do that. 

Hi Anybody here knows how to change status to F3? 
 

My mother petitioned me last 2001, got approved, she passed, files for Humanitarian Reinstatement, got reaffirmed. I have a wife and a daughter living with me. 
 

My other daughter in the US filed a petition for me and my wife. Just got approved. 

i was wondering if i could go through my daughter’s petition for me ir-5 category, because it will be faster, then when the F3 category is ready to be processed, i could change to f3 so i can bring my daughter with me as my derivative beneficiary. 
 

Any thoughts? 
 

Thank you

Thats a permanent ban isnt it?....I stand corrected

I guess. But we retracted about the backdating on the secondary inspection(2001),  i just hope it will fall on timely retraction. 
 

After we had applied for tourist visa (May 2019), included our misrepresentation on the ds-160,  we were denied and marked 214b on the paper and we were called in for a personal interview a month after (June 2019). There, we were asked to write a statement of all the false documents we had shown and what we did in the US and apologized for it. (June 2020) we received the approved visa petition. Hoping everything would turn around is the immigrant visa interview. 
 

As stated, “If the misrepresentation has been noted in a visa application that was not submitted in person by the applicant, the applicant must be called in for a personal interview and the retraction must be voluntarily made during that interview.  

If the misrepresentation has been noted in a visa application that was not submitted in person by the applicant, the applicant must be called in for a personal interview and the retraction must be voluntarily made during that interview.”

Hi,

We used a differerent passport with a different name when we applied for a tourist visa before. The embassy has a copy of that when we retracted the false information. 
 

Should we put that in our ds-260 form in other names used section? We do not have proper documents of the said name coz it was a fake name. 

Hi, anybody in the same boat? Here goes my story:

My husband and I applied for a tourist visa last May 2019 and was denied, marked 214b. We were called in for another interview on June 25, 2019 just to retract the misrepresentation made more than 10 years ago. 
 

One was 2001 where we were denied entry to the United States. 
Second was using a passport with different name to apply for a U.S tourist visa. I can’t remember the date anymore. 
 

On the second interview, we were asked to retract and write everything that we did in the united states in the past, i.e working, salary, the false passport, back dating of the arrival

in the Philippines, apologized and sworn before a U.S officer. 
 

Thus, our visa petition was approved June 2020. We have an upcoming interview, i was just wondering if we are still inadmissible and still needs i-601, though we timely retracted the false claims on our interview last june 25? 
 

Anyone has similar experiences?
