[cheche143 0]

Hi Everyone! please i need help...Im about to send my I-751 petition. I was wondering if i put yes or no on no.7 question...here's my story...

Way back 2002 i was petitioned by other guy as fiance and got married right away but the marriage didnt work and worse my ex husband reported me at immigration...detained for a day and bailed out by my relatives...for short i was put on hearing and granted voluntary departure. During the hearing process i met my husband which i married before i left the states for voluntary departure. My husband petitioned me I-130 thank God granted a CR1 visa although it supposed to be IR1 since we're already married for 3 years before my visa was granted. Now we're filling up the application for removal of condition. My question is should i answer yes on the question no.7 or no since everything happened before i entered the states as CR1? Please help...

Why were you "detained" by immigration? What did your husband report to immigration? If you came as fiancee, and married here you fulfilled the requirements of the visa. What I don't understand is what your husband "reported" to INS (back then it was INS, right?) that you were detained and then a court hearing was set. What immigration law were you said to be breaking? I don't understand that portion of the story....yet is has a bearing as to whether you answer yes or no to the question. Since the question asks whether you were ever arrested, detained, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance ...

If you did not violate any law, then I don't think you need to answer yes...but given that you "voluntarily" removed yourself from the US as a result of an immigration hearing there may very well be a need to answer Yes to that question.

Voluntary departure is just a departure-not a deportation. It is the same as if you left country at the end of your visa. Regarding detaintion-I would put no since court gave you voluntary departure which means you were cleared. Otherwise, you would be put in deportation.

That was actually the reason why it took 3 years before my visa was granted but since im back after all those immigration issues im just confuse about what to answer regarding that particular question. I just want to know what to answer correctly...some people say no since that thing happened before i came back and since this petition for removal only proves that we are still together til now so i really dont know...

How about not asking an internet board and go ahead and get an attorney to help you?

Unless one of us in an attorney, I wouldnd't go ahead and trust what anyone states on here. why risk your life?

I agree with Peter consult a lawyer, but to be safe I would answer yes as you certainly were Detained. Just make sure you write an explanation.

Good luck

Agree. I always talk to a lawyer. But it does not hurt to ask this forum. I have learn a lot from this forum. Plus, in the past I used to go to min 3 lawyers. Guess what-they all have different opinions. Problem with lawyers (from my experience), unless you know the lawyer for some time/through other means, he is not going to really investigate all options. We are small clients. So, lawyers would do a standard way/answer from top of their memory. But they are humans too-if case is not standard, some digging is required. Just hope that they would do it (or at least, parapegal would).

Honestly, i cant afford an attorney right now...plus after our experienced with a lot of attorneys before, i dont really trust most of them, they are totally rip off and they couldnt even solve my problem before, it was not an attorney who solved it that time so idk...im just trying here if anyone have the same situation with the question on the application regarding wether to answer yes or no, or if anyone knows anybody with the same situation...but of course not totally the same..

The other thing I can suggest is to look for USBIS mannual on their site. I dont have a link. It is a huge doc with many chapters. It describes all situations and how officers must handle/classify any situation. There definition of crimes, what to put/what not.

I dont remember title. It is like field officers mannual...
