Dealing with Act of Adam Walsh

[FloMilk 0]

My husband & I are going through the same process as a lot of other members of this forum - dealing with the Act of Adam Walsh. We are married for over two years now & know each it seems forever. We are absolutely in love with each other & all that we want is to get the chance to live our life together. But it seems that that is something we are not allowed to do because Adam Walsh Act says that since my husband is a sex offender (even though he has never in his life harmed, touched or even talked to that minor that was not even a minor but an undecovered cop that just got my husband in a trap) he can be a threat to me.

It's not the place & the time to prove for anyone that my husband is innocent, he's innocent for me and that's enough & I know what some people may think but I also know that there are people who are going through the same problems & they know that things are not always the way they seem (or sound in this case).

And I'm not going to talk here about this Act whether it's right or no it was said a lot on this forum about it already.

I just wanted to ask (we wanted to ask) if anyone can advice anything on the matter of what we should do.

Of course they requested the evidence .... the proof that my husband is not a threat for me ... which we submitted in full: psychologist's letter, sex offender treatment class certificate, letter from probation officer, release from parole & probation, a bunch of characteristics from mom, friends with kids, from his work, from me saying that i knew about that from the very beginning & our story... but unfortunately it's not enough. We got denied because that was not sufficient. We just want to know what else they want from us, what else we can submit to prove that he's not a threat to me or anyone else. Because we are going to reopen the case with the new evidence.

Please if anyone has any information on this case help us, advice us. I just don't know how long a human can handle it. We both want kinds.... deeply & madly. But we are not even sure if we should try... we've already had 2 miscarriages because of all this situation...

I was trying to contact some of the people on this forum who has dealt with it but it seems that a lot of them haven't been on the forum for a long time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I don't think anyone can help you here with your situation. Usually here people can help with ordinary situations that do not require lawyers. This is the whole point of this site. Unfortunately, this is not an ordinary situation. The best way to handle this situation is to hire immigration attorney that will handle your case. There is no other way and I think this is the best advice anyone can give you here.

"We got denied because that was not sufficient"

They say this to everyone no matter what you submit. Its just the default answer . They have no standard of what is sufficient? They don't have any list or guidelines to follow to explain what is good enough. Thats why everyone is stuck fighting this. It will probably take a lawsuit to fix

Can you appeal to the immigration board? Would that help? I don't think reopening the file would do any good. I would just got straight to the court.

IMHO, I would appeal, because after reopening the case, USCIS is likely to sit on it another 2 years, and there is no guaranty that they would approve. Based on what you wrote that you have submitted, it sounds like a pretty good package, and indeed what else can you do? The only thing I can suggest is community service, volunteering (the agent asked for it during our interview, but by the way, we were also denied and are appealing), but I believe this additional piece of evidence can be also added to the brief when you appeal, if you decide to. If not the ridiculous time they take for any action on AWA cases, I would suggest try to reopen, but again, they will not arrive to a decision soon.

Try to enjoy your life the way you can for now, and if you are speaking kids, they sure will distract you from evolving in frustration associated with what you are going through.
