I am a US citizen and my husband is from Mexico. He came here illegally in 2002, we got married in 2004. We moved back to mexico. We intended to stay however the quality of the medical facilities to have a baby are less than desireable. I decided to come back to the US pregnant and my husband came back illegally in 2006. We stayed in the US until reciently we could afford to make all the payments for lawyers and whatnot. I - 130 approved, then DS - 230, then we recieved the notice that he had the interview date in Cuidad Juarez Mexico March 2nd, 2011. He was denied because of multiple entry illegally, and was told that he has a 10 year ban w/o the ability to have a waiver. We have 3 children now ( 4 years, 2 years, and 1 year old). I am in the US with the 3 children and him in Mexico.

Can anyone tell me if there is any hope for us???

Can we get the amount of the ban reduced???

Can I apply for a different visa (work related) even if he has a ban???

Thank you all,

Try Laural Scott at scottimmigration.net. She is an expert in inadmissability and will be able to guide you in the right direction.

No possible way he can come to the US on a non-immigrant visa such as a tourist or work visa. I'm not even sure he can come on an immigrant visa or get the ban reduced. Consult Laural Scott, she offers a free chat on wednesdays

Sorry for your situation

Good luck

If he has a ban without the ability of waiver there is no opening for him to get ANY visa to the US. Your choices are kind of limited to moving there or to some other county for the next 10 years and then he will be admissable to the US. He should NOT enter illegally again as that will count heavily against him and may block any hope for him to legally enter the US. Is there any way you can both move close to your respective sides of the border and make visiting easier ?

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Laurel Scott is the best for I-601 and I-212 waivers, hands down.

Sadly, this is not only an I-601 case, here we have multiple illegal entries, one of them with your . . . um, consent, and no eligibility for a waiver. The very best you can hope for is that your husband can enter the US again in 10 years, but I am not even sure about that.

Looks like you will have to choose between Mexico and being a single parent of three children.

On a more personal note, and I don't want to come over as heartless, didn't you think all of this through before getting married and having children?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
