You weren't very clear, why are you inadmissable?

Good luck

Welcome! We will be glad to help you, but we need more details:

- Why didn't you ever become a US Citizen?

- Did you have a valid greencard when detained?

- Why were you detained?

- What were you charged with in the insurance case 15 years ago (I assume this is somehow relevant to your case, otherwise you would not mention it)? Were you paying on the 9K judgement? if yes, it is odd that they would detain you for that.

- What exactly are you applying for now? Your profile says adjustment of status, but that is only possible from within the USA. Did your current wife petition for a IR-1 (spousal visa) for you and that is what the interview is for?

Your green card at the time was it one of the old non expiring ones ? What was the exact charge in the insurance case and what type of insurance was being defrauded ? Was 9k the total amount involved ? Where there other charges involved. Was the ruling that you pay the restitution and either you didn't pay or the payments may have not been recorded properly so the original ruling now has converted into something worse? They obviously canceled your old green card so are you being applied for as a IR1 ?

If your wife filed an I130 your interview at the consulate will be the normal immigrant interview verifying the relationship between you and your wife. The consular will find you inadmissable due to sounds like an insurance fraud case. At that point you will get a slip with some legal language outlining exactly what the legal reason you are not admissable is. Then you can file the waiver. They may let you file the same day or set a followup appointment to file it. Depending on where they adjudicate the waiver it can be a few months to a year before you hear an answer on if its approved.

Some consulates conduct an I601 interview as well when you drop it off.

I should ad this is if and only if the crime you were convicted of does not have a permanent bar.
