Need help I-130 for my Mom

[marge 0]

I'm gonna have my oath taking few days from now. I want to start my petition for my mom after that.

Here's the scenario. My mom had a 10 year visitor visa back in 1998. She stayed for less than 6 months. While in the Philippines, She process our papers but got denied. After a month she went back to US. But upon entering, the Immigration denied her from coming in and sent back. She said she was randomly search and saw some receipt that can acknowledge that she work here illegally, which she admitted. Then she was just there and waited for the next flight back home.

I'm stuck in Question #16 Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings? Help please.

Did they write anything in her passport. She may have ban(s)

You need to figure out if she had a denial of entry or an expedited removal. Those of very different things when dealing with immigration. But the work thing concerns me, what was written in her passport?

Good luck

Nothing is written in the passport.

I don't know how to delete my previous post. Sorry about that. My mom just send me scans of the other pages of her old passport. There is a stamp and hand written says:

CANCELLED-SPM ON 6-10-99 REASON 7A1 6C .....

What does it mean?

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

7 A1 means she was living in the US without a valid visa and the 6c is a misrepresentation finding. Very bad she may have a hard time getting a waiver at all. And you as a child can't file it if I remember right , has to be a spouse or a parent.

Yeah, that's sort of a big deal. You are going to want to consult a lawyer. Laurel Scott offers free immigration chats on Wednesdays, pose your question to her for expert advice

Good luck

ETA NigeriaorBust is right, you cannot file any sort of waiver for her. You are not a qualifying realative
