Humanitarian Visa DENIED!! Help please!!

[Cathi 5,782]

What seems to make me really angry is that for people with money or celebrities or other public officials the US immigration people turn their head and look the other way and let them in. For example Paul McCartney or Russell Brand or amy weinhouse they all have criminal convictions for controlled substances but yet are let into the US.

But when it comes to the average Joe like my husband it's always NO. I was also told by many lawyers that after 15 years from the last conviction he can then apply for a waiver. But since 15 years has not passed since the last conviction I must wait.

I sometimes just wish all this drama would go away. I love my husband very much but I just can't continue living a life alone and I don't feel it's fair that I have to drop everything I worked so hard for.

So is the D3 visa similar to humanitarian parole visa? Because I was told the humanitarian is for situations like caring for an elderly or hospitalization etc.

But you have no problem with him dropping everything for you?

Yet Nigella Lawson was just banned from the US for admitting her coke habit in a trial.

People that are allowed to come are given waivers; your husband cannot get a waiver because his convictions are too fresh. Furthermore, he is seeking an immigration benefit, not a non-immigrant visa. The idea to get him on a dual intent visa doesn't make sense to me, because it seems like the idea is to get him here on a non-immigrant status, then AOS (seek a Greencard from within the US). If you tried to AOS for him in the US then you would also be denied for the same reason. So his only real intent can be working temporarily, not immigrating. Which is a dead end. What is the plan, wait for the laws to change? Live as an illegal eventually?

E's can actually go on for as long as you live, others do require a break.

Any Whinehouse was turn down twice for waivers

prior to her death she had a concert cancelled....Brit

Cat Steven who spent so much time in the US was

barred permanently, he has tried numerous times

but uscis says never again he's coming in.... Brit

Quite a few more have been banned, but a few do get by

eventually like Naomi Campbell, Boy George & more, the

risk assessment to the US is a major factor. The US

started the rules & other countries have followed . China

refused entry to Paris Hylton. Britain & AU to Snoop &

some Hollywood types in AU gets turned away. Many famous

ppl have their atty do their waivers.

You are correct the ppl with money fair better, but even

Canada with an arrest-conviction or DUI one cannot cross

Peace out!

Huh?

Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam was at the Barclay's Center just last month - live and well and performing.

He's been to the US several times since he was famously denied entry in 2004.

No permanent bar.

Remember this guy has two issues, an ex Beatle is probably not too much risk of staying and going underground.

I've never understood immigration law's stringent treatment of past drug users, but then on the other hand people who abuse alcohol are considered fine. A great example of this is Justin Bieber. Just was arrested for a DUI and driving with an expired license but nothing is considered wrong. I realize he's a celebrity and all, but how is a DUI not treated the same as a drug charge, even a minor one like those the OP listed.

Justin Bieber has yet to be convicted of anything, since accusations aren't proof. Don't get me wrong I think he's a piece of and a punk in the extreme, he just hasn't been convicted of anything yet.

Simple answer: Alcohol is LEGAL. Marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, etc. are ILLEGAL in this country. Not too difficult to comprehend the big difference there.

[Boiler 45,913]

Excess use of alcohol and driving is illegal.

War against drugs?

Looking for logic in an illogical process?

Not the point here. Poster is talking about immigration law and people being barred from entering the US due to illegal drug convictions. Not DUI convictions. Seems logical to me. Sure alcohol is a drug but it is a legal drug. Maybe some day marijuana may be legal in all 50 states but I wouldn't hold your breath if I was you. And even if that happens the FEDS have to agree. Not in our lifetimes.

DUI is illegal drug consumption.

[David & Diana R 1,005]

Again, not the posters point. Alcohol is not illegal in the US.

I am out now. Have a nice day. Bye Bye...

God Bless

[novedsac 355]

DUI is illegal drug consumption.

No, it is not.

DUI is driving under the influence

Consuming the alcohol is perfectly legal ... being inebriated is perfectly legal under many circumstances ... becomes a problem though when you get behind the wheel on a public roadway.
