Hi, just a few questions. Are you sure you have a 3 year ban? Who issued your ban? What waiver are you applying for?

When i got here an immigration specialist told me that i MIGHT get a bar of reentry at the airport on my way from the US to mexico. but i got through the airport and arrived here fine. a few months later i tried to get a visitors visa but at the interview my interviewer asked me for a waiver and told me that since i was in the US illegally for more than 180 days after my 18th birthday that i was barred for 3 years.

OH wow, then you're lucky. I thought 180+ days illegal presence was a 10 year ban.

So what waiver are you applying for? Your fiance can apply for a k-1 then you the I-601 can be filed at your interview.

I am applying for the waiver of inadmissibility. The I-601 and probably the ir1 /cr1. If there is anyone out there who has done this or something similar to this and can shed soem light on the process and odds of approval and especially about the pilot program and the consulate in ciudad juarez that would be awesome. thank you.

180+ days to less than one year = 3 year ban

1 year + = 10 year ban.

hi..i overstayed my previous visit more than 180 days, it was 6 years ago, so i have 10 years ban. But now i'm back in the States because my I-601 waiver was approved, it was Approved in Sept 2008. I waited 7 months for it to be approved.

hope this will help, when you do your Waiver, you will, of course, need to fill out that I-601 form, and this is important, your personal statement, BE VERY SPECIFIC with it, you dont want to leave something out. Tell them why you overstayed, what you were exactly doin when you were here, tell them the reason, being very honest because they WILL read it, and apologize. Its like pouring your heart out you know. You will need the Extreme hardship from your fiancee, she needs to give strong reasons why she could not leave the US. get her parents or family to write statements to if possible, it helps, alot!!

My husband's extreme hardship was not too long, it wasnt even one page, he just tell them that his parents still need him here, his father (my dad in law) has some health problem, so that was his reason. His father also wrote a statements and gathered all his medical history from his doctor. It was thick, i was doubting if they will ever see it all, but you dont wanna care about that, you just want to give em all the proofs that you can.

So..i think thats pretty much what you need. Dont stress too much okay? Please do this with prayers, it will lighten you, if God wanted it to be approved then it will...Good luck!!
