Immigrant visa apporved and then cancelled by CBP officer

[!!! 0]

This is my first time posting here. And I think that my story will shock many of you.

I am a US citizen. My husband a Canadian citizen. I made the biggest mistake of my life by filling his I-130 myself and not hiring an attorney. I did not know that I need to fill out a change of status form because he was currently living in US. Make a long story short, our interview letter came and so we went to Montreal, Canada. Everything went fine. His case got approved. I flew back home to US. A week later he got his passport with the immigrant visa stamp. He went to the airport in Montreal to fly home. A CBP officer started questioning him about when was the last time he entered US, and how he got to , why his interview was in Montreal and not Vancouver and many other questions. They questioned him for 6 hours and finally canceled his visa and told him that he has to go file a waiver because they feel that he lied on his application.

I have two little kids at home who miss him like crazy. Financially,we are falling apart. My beautiful life has been destroyed. Can a CBP officer do this? Can I appeal this?

Awe, thats sad...I'm sorry...

How long was your hubby in the States for?

if he was already in States you could of just applied for change of status, then his interview would of been done there in States, but they would interview both of you. This process is confusing I know...

Perhaps you can call Uscis and see what you can do from here on. I do believe CBP has a right to refuse at anytime as a Visa still does not guarentee you entry.
