I think I need to apply for an I-130?????

[Marilyn. 340]

hey I got my visa and I was denied entry and banned for a year..

I was truthful when I filled out the forms, made sure to mention the denial and banning and it just came up in passing at the interview.. the guy just asked me," so did you have any other trouble besides that one time?" (or some question to that effect)

We listed it in the forms sent back to the Montreal Consulate, or it may actually be in the DS 230. Either way, we plan on bringing the paperwork with us to the interview, and the last thing we're going to do it hide it!

i wouldn't bring it up though unless they ask... and if they do ask be honest....

Thanks for everyone's advice I really appreciate it. It all sounds quite complicated and a little risky for me to forgo this thing by myself I think I will just go ahead and hire a good lawyer just incase.

I last went home in February and got back in no problem I actually have been going home every six months and comming back without an issue (I guess I just got lucky) but I will not be going back anymore untill I get my status that's what the lawyer advised when I had my consultation with him.

To answer the other question I met my husband in Canada he was married to a Canadian before it's a very long and complicated story because he's from Afghanistan and he only had his permanent residency when he left here we are just lucky he was able to renew his green card and now even luckier to get his citizenship but he had been here since he was 9 years old he's now 35yrs old and his entire family lives here maybe that's why!

But I don't want to chance our luck again so I beleive a lawyer is the way to go:)

Thanks again everyone I'll let you know what happens when I file.
