He disclosed it-the misrepresentation was for an ESTA form he filled out 15 years ago after an overstay.

Any recommendations?

Yes, the waiver was mentioned. The information needed was to support an arrest that was made 23 years ago in which the charges were dropped as it was a mistake. We went that info but then he was denied due to the misrepresentation. I just can’t imagine being apart for 3 years.

My husbands I-130 was denied due to misrepresentation following Direct Consular Filing in London. At the appt he was issued a 221 (g) for a minor offense that had happened in his past. The interviewing officer did not mention the misrepresentation and did not give my husband a chance to address it so we were under the impression that all they needed was the follow up documentation they asked for. Once that was provided they emailed me the denial based on misrepresentation (15 years ago on his ESTA) with the option to file a waiver. My kids and I are already in the US due to the job offer/opportunity I had gotten. The denial and possibility of being separated for 3 years while waiver is processing is killing us. I cannot go back to the UK for multiple reasons. Do we have ANY other options? I have 2 consultations scheduled with immigration lawyers but we are obviously devastated. Any other help we can get?
