Rob & Jin

The first problem you are going to find is that when she gets her police cert & single cert from her Houkou they are not going to match her (fake) passport. GUZ wont issue a visa into a passport that does not match with her Houkou docs, in fact she may get a ban for "misrepresentation". As Darnell said get a new passport.

The yangs are great, no problem there, stay away from CFL its a very controlled site, the "in crowd " mainly right wing christian fanatics have total control,it was once a useful site for chinese visa stuff,timelines etc but now its more a USA is great,China is not site and nothing more.

BTW one of the mods here is a mod there, so dont see this post lasting very long.

Here's what you get when you give the opinion that CFL is a snippy site to 'Eric & Jin' (someone who often posts links back to his CFL site rather than give answers here):

Lucky that he is only fairly representative of the dark side of CFL where many VJers report snippiness.

No, it isnt good considering they are human beings .

I disagree.

Every step taken in the direction of the eventual liberation of the people currently living under the Communist regime of Beijing is a good one.

i agree..the Muslim there are not treated well by the local commies in control///and there ahs been issues for a long time...but they are Muslims so, they must be terrorists..if it was Christians fighting for their rights, they be freedom fighters

Precisely

You da man, Dean!

I think your knowledge of the chinese people, their culture and Govt is clearly reflected in the c**p you are saying

Does anyone have a 1-601 waiver appointment that they are not able to attend to or need to cancel?

A waiver appointment ? with whom ?

I think as emt103 said there is only a waiver avaible if the offense was for a very small amount of cannibis.

The CO at the interview is the one who decides if you are "eligible" for a waiver, not you or a attorney. If denied and no waiver then it will be returned to the USCIS center that processed you, you may have a oppotunity to appeal once its back here.

either way I would suggest a very good immigration lawyer should be consulted.

Good luck

I wonder how the medical went today ?

sore arms maybe

Ops I see she had it days ago, sorry my mistake

Hello! This is my first topic here and I hope you can help me. Last year they deny my entry to the States because I was going back and for to often.They told me I didn't break any immigration rule and that I could go back just with a K1 or K3 Visa. At the time I was holding a B1 / B2 Visa. they put application withdrawn and then 212(a) on top of it. And then they put me on the first plane back to europe. They fingerprinted me and give me just copy of the interwiev (Record of sworn stateent in Proceedings under section 235(B)(1) of the act and the form name is I867A)

Now me and my fiance are ready to file for K1 or maybe K3 (we'll decide soon)...do I need a waiver or no? Please help me!

A waiver will be the decision of the interviewing consulate officer. It is not filied with the petition.

My wife worked in Hong Kong for a couple years so I understand she'll need a police clearance from them. I think they only send them direct to the embassy when requested. So we got our NOA2 and I'm assembling documents to send to NVC. My question is will NVC hold up getting her an interview date because lack of HK police clearance?

I'd appreciate the experience of others who had to get HK police clearance.

mistake

you cant have dual nationality with the PRC, as soon as you get citizenship of another country you loose it .

you cant have dual nationality if your PRC, as soon as you get citizenship of another country you loose it .

I agree with both of you. . . I've never actually wished someone wouldn't be granted a waiver before.

I wonder how the medical went today ?

sore arms maybe

That waiver is not exactly for this, usually it is used in the case of convictions of usage or possession.

IF (big If) they test for marijuana, they would probably mandate proof of rehabilitation before they would even allow the waiver to be processed. . .they won't buy the "accident" or "one time only" line . . .

Toxicology screens in US hospitals test for it .

Thats why I said even admitting to have taken it may bring a permanent ban, this may well be un- waiverable if detected and or admitted to however

9 FAM 40.11 N9 DRUG ABUSER OR ADDICT

AND EFFECT OF INA 212(a)(1)(A)(iv)

(CT:VISA-905; 09-18-2007)

The nonmedical use of any drugs listed in section 202 of the Controlled

Substances Act generally qualifies as a “Class A” condition. It should be

noted that harmful behavior is not a relevant factor in rendering a

determination under the provisions of INA 212(a)(1)(A)(iv) (8 U.S.C.

1182(a)(1)(A)(iv)). An immigrant visa waiver of inadmissibility is not

available to an alien who is diagnosed as engaging in psychoactive

substance abuse or dependence or using psychoactive substances listed in

the Controlled Substances Act. (See 9 FAM 40.23 Exhibit I.)

9 FAM 40.11 N9.1 Definitions

(TL:VISA-189; 04-22-1999)

Definitions relating to psychoactive substance abuse/dependence as

provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are

quoted below.

a. Psychoactive substance abuse/dependence as used here, includes 2

groups:

Nonmedical users of drugs listed in section 202 of the Controlled

Substances Act (see section 9 FAM 40.23 Exhibit I). Nonmedical use of

any drug listed in section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act is illegal

and qualifies as a “Class A” condition, whether or not harmful behavior is

documented.

Nonmedical users of drugs not listed in section 202 of the Controlled

Substances Act, abusers of alcohol, inhalants, or other psychoactive

agents with resultant harmful or dysfunctional behavior patterns.

Determination of “Class A” or “Class B” status is the same as that of any

other mental or physical condition.

b. Remission—no nonmedical use of a drug listed in section 202 of the

Controlled Substances Act for 3 or more years, or no nonmedical use of

any other psychoactive substance for 2 or more years.

c. Nonmedical use—is considered to be more than experimentation with the

substance (e.g., a single use of marijuana or other non-prescribed

psychoactive substances such as amphetamines or barbiturates).

(Experimentation with any of these drugs would not be considered a

ground of inadmissibility).

9 FAM 40.11 N9.5 Determining “Class A” or “Class

B” Status

(TL:VISA-189; 04-22-1999)

a. A determination of “Class A” or “Class B” status should be rendered in the

same way as a determination of any other mental or physical disorder

under the provisions of INA 212(a)(1)(A)(iii).

b. In a “Class A” condition, which would include nonmedical use of a

substance listed in section 202 of the Controlled Substance Act (such as

amphetamines, cannabinoids, cocaine and related substances, etc.), the

panel physician must determine whether the applicant:

(1) Is currently using or has used a psychoactive substance within the

last 3 years, or

(2) Is or has abused a psychoactive substance other than those listed in section 202 within the last 2 years.

c. In a “Class B” condition, the panel physician need only to determine:

(1) No nonmedical use of a substance listed in section 202 of the

Controlled Substances Act in the last three years, or

(2) No abuse of a psychoactive substance other than those listed in

section 202 of that act in the last two years.

the problem is if its in his system from toxicology then he's used it in the last 3 years and as said how do you prove 1 time use. A good immigration lawyer should be consulted I think

EEks tough one .

Any way back on topic, I'm not sure if you are K-1 but if you are vaccinations are not required to get the visa, but are required to be tested.

9 FAM 40.11 N7.5 Vaccination Requirements for

Fiance(e)

(CT:VISA-905; 09-18-2007)

Fiance(e) visa applicants, as nonimmigrant visa applicants, technically are

not subject to the INA 212(a)(1)(A)(ii) (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(1)(A)(ii))

vaccination requirement. However, we (Department of State) and

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have agreed that medical exams

for fiance(e) visa applicants should include the vaccination assessment as a

matter of expediency. Every effort should be made, therefore, to encourage

fiance(e) visa applicants to meet the vaccination requirements before

admission to the United States. Nevertheless, you should not refuse K-visa

applicants for refusing to meet the vaccination requirements.

Your problem could be with the cicil surgeon in the USA when you apply for AOS, as it is a requirement then.

9 FAM 40.11 N7 INA 212(a)(1)(A)(ii) -

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT

9 FAM 40.11 N7.1 Statutory Requirement

(CT:VISA-905; 09-18-2007)

Section 341(B) of Public Law 104-208 added a requirement that all aliens

lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence be

vaccinated against certain vaccine-preventable diseases. It should be noted,

however, that Public Law 105-73 provides an exemption for internationally

adopted children (IR-3s and IR-4s) 10 years of age or younger from

immunization requirement.

Would be really bad if you were to get denied either entry or AOS over this, you must remember a waiver for this is up to them , NOT YOU.

2) subsection (a)(1)(A)(ii) in the case of any alien-

(A) who receives vaccination against the vaccine-preventable disease or diseases for which the alien has failed to present documentation of previous vaccination,

(B) for whom a civil surgeon, medical officer, or panel physician (as those terms are defined by section 34.2 of title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations) certifies according to such regulations as the Secretary of Health and Human Services may prescribe, that such vaccination would not be medically appropriate, or

© under such circumstances as the Attorney General provides by regulation, with respect to whom the requirement of such a vaccination would be contrary to the alien's religious beliefs or moral convictions; or

(3) subsection (a)(1)(A)(iii) in the case of any alien, in accordance with such terms, conditions, and controls, if any, including the giving of bond, as the Attorney General, in the discretion of the Attorney General after consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, may by regulation prescribe

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86936.pdf

Only one waiver possible with this- "hardship visa" 212(h) and that is only if you can prove 1 time use of cannibis (not sure how you would prove that)

212(h) The Attorney General may, in his discretion, waive the application of subparagraphs (A)(i)(I), (B), (D), and (E) of subsection (a)(2) and subparagraph (A)(i)(II) of such subsection insofar as it relates to a single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana if-

(1)(A) in the case of any immigrant it is established to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that-

(i) the alien is inadmissible only under subparagraph (D)(i) or (D)(ii) of such subsection or the activities for which the alien is inadmissible occurred more than 15 years before the date of the alien's application for a visa, admission, or adjustment of status, or

(ii) the admission to the United States of such alien would not be contrary to the national welfare, safety, or security of the United States, and

(iii) the alien has been rehabilitated; or

(B) in the case of an immigrant who is the spouse, parent, son, or daughter of a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if it is established to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that the alien's denial of admission would result in extreme hardship to the United States citizen or lawfully resident spouse, parent, son, or daughter of such alien;

Even admitting use however could result in a permanant ban, also if you lied on DS230 and I-156 which ask about controlled substances you could also be denied for "misrepresentation"

The only thing you can do is wait for the toxicology results

Good luck

The nurse asked you if you wanted to test for immunity in case you had ever been vaccinated before or if you'd had the diseases in childhood. She was trying to save you the process of the 601, not vaccinate you.

Not true .Due to the litany of other required vaccines on the list I would still be going through the 601 process.It's all about money money money

I thought it's about getting a visa

As the USC (petitioner) you only need to disclose crimes listed on the I-129f.

It's also worth noting that the US centre for disease control recently conceded that vaccines have been linked to "autistic like symptoms"

News story here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2WVbXEFWY

It's only a matter of time before multiple childhood immunisation is a thing of the dark past.

Here are some interesting quotes by MDs on the vaccine-autism debate.

http://www.whale.to/vaccines/vax_autism_q.html

As a nurse trained in the UK and working in the ED in the USA, I will have to say you are talking "smack" in regard to the risks of vaccinations compared to the risks of not having them. I think before quoting the CDC you should actually read their website on vaccinations, you may get your facts straight then.

Also signing a waiver does not mean they (DOS) will accept it, its up to them. Also you may well have issues with AOS.

good luck
