misrepresentation and inadmissable

[tonson 0]

I was given that statement record and the most impt speech from that office from Department of Justice is as follows:

"Due to the fact you are coming to the US to remain permanently with ur USC husband, u misrepreentated many material facts, and u intend to file the papers to adjust uour status to a lawful permanent Resident, u have been found inadmissable to the US. u will be returned to HK on the next a/v flight. u will need a new visa and/ or immigrant visa to re-apply for admission to the US in the future. Do u Understand?"

Based on the sentences, i just found that i hv great chance of my visa denied later. The lawyer did read that sworn statement for me and said i may need to apply the wavier afterwards. But, i still hv chance that the consulate office not ask great details abt it.

also, my husband and I don't that the lawyer can look up what CBP has put on your record...

Was that a statement made verbally to you or is it written in a document signed by you?

The Consulate will have all the notes in whatever happened at the POE so you will be asked about it. Do not try to lie or hide anything from them because that will get you a lifetime bar.

OP, you really need to find out if you were flagged for misrepresentation OR if you were turned away from the border "without prejudice". Hopefully your lawyer can help you sort this out.

Excellent point !

So, from what I am reading here, it looks like it wasn't just a visit that you came in with the plan to AOS in the US after you entered not just come for a holiday and go back to your country and wait for the process to complete processing your Immigrant VISA?

They also wrote down there was a finding of inadmissability but your mention of "without predjudice" is confusing here. So then they mention a new VISA which is an immigrant VISA vs the tourist VISA you attempted to enter with to AOS in the future, which is an attempt at circumvention of the Immigration laws.

Is there any codes referring to specific Immigration laws on the paper they gave you? It seems the CPB denied your entry on the tourist VISA and turned you around and sent you back which was easier for him/her than to detain and deport you at POE and far less paperwork for him/her. But the mention of you misrepresenting many material facts is a very bad sign going forward IMHO and think if the consulate will let you , it makes sense to bring a lawyer with you to the next interview because there is very very slim chance this will not become a hard finding of misrepresentation at the consulate interview.

Does it say anything in your passport on the visa page about the refusal of entry? There should be some numbers and letters.

They just wrote these letters " CANCELLED DET/DMA" on my tourist visa---> cancelled my tourist visa.

They also worte this sentense ' DET/DMA, date of denied entry , my sworn statement file number, 7A1;#4575" next to the personal info page of my passport.

What, if anything, was written into your passport - that should clear all this up

Good luck

But, I don't know the meaning of DMA....can anyone help?

[canadian_wife 1,822]

DET/DMA - did you get denied entry in Detroit?

Also, you may be flagged for misrepresentation at the interview, even though it does not say anything regarding that in your pasport, it may be an issue in the interview

Contact Lauran Scott, she offers free chats on Wednesdays and is an expert in inadmissability

GOod luck

thanks for telling me that meaning.

[canadian_wife 1,822]

On the Ds-230 it will ask if you have ever been denied entry into the US and why, you must answer this question honestly - failing to do so will result in further troubles for you.

In your sworn statement, you put that you misrepresented yourself right?

Good luck
