Waiver Help

[LionessDeon 2,060]

I need help with what to do for a waiver. The embassy gave my fiancé a form with the boxes "you are eligible to seek a waiver under 212 (a) (2) (A). Where can I find what this entails as far as paperwork and fees. We don't know where to begin. The IO gave my fiancé this and said "give this to ur fiancée" then gave him a 221g for his medical packet. The 221g says to bring in the medical packet and his passport. He also gave him a paper to register with DHL.

I would appreciate any info. Thank you!

Does he have anything in his past as crimes, have he ever been in the US

did he ever apply for tourist visa prior & was not fortcoming during this petition?

This waiver is filed with the lockbox, on the form it should state why he has to apply

for this waiver...cost $545 or $585 (I think)...not exactly a DIY project unless you

have a good understanding of the process, this waiver when approved allows

the visa to be issued.

Its not the end its a pause , waivers can take 4-8 mths and up to 15 mths if there

was any moral turpitude involved, you have to say why waiver is needed for answers.

Lizz Cannon does free phone consults, why not give her a call , shes an expert

on waivers. you have to tell her everything for the proper answer, COs are known to

make mistakes when issuing 221G putting one waiver when 2 is needed, I say call

her, and he also have to disclose to you everything...It will get sort out ...breatheeee

PS complete the sec also (A) 2 ????

Thank you. Jawaree charge was from 2005 "smoking ganja". He only paid a $1000JA fine and was released. So we will definitely need a lawyer then?

It says 212 (a) (2) (A) (i) (II). I think it gets hard to read. Controlled substance. When he went to get his court record they said there was non and he should file for expungement, which he did. But he listed it on his DS160.

He's more upset than me believe it or not. I completely forgot all about it I was so worried about everything else ...ie his Medical. I remember when we first started reading and researching, that we may need a waiver when he told me about it. But then in the course of everything else slipped my mind. Can u give me her number or should I just google her?

Yes (ii) needs an atty....hopefully it was less than 30 grams

you will need a waiver atty try Lizz Cannon or Heather Poole

both experts on waivers, its discretionary and must be approved

for visa issuance, I would have him try to see if it can be expunged due

to new laws in JA (USCIS may not recognize also depends on adjudicator)

no harm in him trying....this is a pause for about 10-14 mths...not the end

AFTER THE RAIN COMES THE RAINBOW....do not despair
