212( a )

HE SAID I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TO GO BACK ONCE MY K1 O K3 VISA WILL BE ISSUED..ALSO I WENT TO THE EMBASSY HERE IN ITALY AND THE CONSULATE TOLD ME THAT I COULD VEN GO BACK ON WVP ONCE 1 YEAR IS PASSED...HE WAS VERY NICE, ALSO MADE A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS FOR ME ABOU IT...NOW, OBVIUSLY I WON'T RISK TO GO BACK BEFORE MY K1 VISA WILL BE ISSUA BUT I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE SECTION 212 ( a )...DOES IT CARRIES ANY PENALITY?

I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAY HELP TO UNDERSTAND BETTER THE SITUATION BUT THE ONLY PAPERWROK THEY MADE WAS A INTERVIEW FORM (235(b )(1)) WHERE THE OFFICER EVEN MADE ME THIS QUESTION: IN THE FUTURE, YOUR FAINCEE HAS TO APPLY FOR A PETITION IN YOUR BEHALF DO YOU UNDERSTAND? I ANSWERED YES

THEN HE ASKED : OR YOU AND YOUR FIANCEE CAN GET MARIED IN ITALY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? I SAID YES AGAIN

THERE AREN'T OTHER CODES NEITHER ON THIS FORM NOR IN MY PASSPORT...

No, there's no penalty. A lot of people have been denied entry prior to their visas being issued. It happens all the time and doesn't affect the application.

Went true the same thing!

No worries, just apply for the K-1 or K-3 visa and you will be fine!

Good luck !!!!

I'm glad to hear that! I think that even if they would ban you they would write it somewhere right? Only think I don't understand is the 212( a ) code! Because there are not other letters or number after it? does it mean just deny entry then? OMG! So worried!

They would not ban you because of it! Only if would brake the low, that was what my emigration attorney said and officer at the American embassy!

The codes you are talking about is that your visa got cancelled!

You ware just denied entry to United States!

FORM (235(b )(1)) is usually used for voluntary withdrawal of an application for admission. Are you sure there's nothing more written in your passport?

Yes I’m sure!

The American embassy explained everything for me, and they said the same thing that the officers from airport said and 6 deferent emigration attorneys!

Never overstayed in America, was more in the USA than my own country.

Thank you for asking!

Have a lovely evening !!!!!!

Yes, on my passport the only stamp I have is the WITHDRAW on top of my B1/B2 visa with code 212(a)...I look over and over again but there is nothing more and that form is the only one I got! They also said to me same thing they said to Alexandra...was more in the States than my own country!
