Immigrant Visa Interview for Parents who has history of Fraud back in 1993....

I agree with all that has been said - to lie is to add fuel to the fire so to speak. All these forms are legally binding and as such to lie on them is a crime in itself.

Your parents have a very delicate situation here and must approach it the right way from the start - IMO they need legal advice from an Immigration Lawyer. I would advise you to visit the Immigration Info Group at Yahoo - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/immigration_info/

There you will find free advice from an Immigration Lawyer. This is where I started my 'journey' through the complex red tape of the immigration process. You may not get an immediate reply as she is an extremely busy person but she will answer your question within a few days.

Please come back to this forum and let us know what she suggests as it may be helpful to someone else going through a similar situation.

However - you will get lots of moral support on this forum - I have learned so much from other experiences and have made friends in the process.

The best of luck

Jenny

gel,

You post that you made the same mistake 13 years ago, or the mistake was made for you. How did you deal with the misrepresentation in your own immigration and naturalization processes?

iam not lying here. i came to this country legally, and i admit, my parents made a mistake 13 yrs ago. ....

what are the consequences of my parents, getting approved or denied, on their coming interview for an immigrant visa, who has a history of misrepresantation when we (including me) applied for a tourist visa back in 1993. .....gel

when i applied in '95 thru my wife for an H4 visa, i didn't even remember that application for a tourist visa back in '93. all i know back then was we got denied for a visa. the consul who interviewed me at that time in '95 was just asking for marriage license and pictures of our wedding and that was it. i just remember of that bank acct when my dad told me when they got the DS-230 forms, reading that question on form II.

They didn't ask if you'd ever been denied a visa before? They asked us that!

no. i remember the consul who interviewed me just asked for some proof of our marriage (pictures, license etc), that was it, got my visa in a week.

by the way, it's been 9 weeks now since the NVC completed the application for my parents, and up to now i still haven't got any appointment letter for their physical and interview. why is it taking so long? does anybody here have the same problem going on or happened before? thanks.......

Hmm...they should have asked you that, you need to be careful. You could potentially lose your US citizenship here. Speak to an attorney about your parents, but also how your parents' application might open up your own history to scrutiny.

Looked it up, Question 15 may be relevant, but Question 23 would require a full disclosure, so how did you get around that?

It may of course have been deemed to be spent.
