Interview in Honduras

[shebonn40 0]

My husband and I are in the process of filling out his visa application. He has been deported 3 times. His last deportation being August 2013. I know we will have to file waivers in order to get him back. Do you go to the interview and get denied and then fill out the waivers? I don't want to spend all the money if he is not even eligible for a waiver. My lawyer said that he has a great chance of coming back if they say we can fill waivers.

Correct. He will be denied at the interview, and then can file the waivers.

He will need at least an I-212, and maybe more. Bear in mind that if he has a 9C bar, which means he was deported and then re-entered again EWI (or overstayed for at least a year, left, then EWI) then he has a lifetime bar from the US for which he cannot file for a waiver until he has spent at least ten years outside the US.

We have a similar situation with one deportation six years ago. We were approved at our interview but then denied three weeks later saying we needed to apply for a waiver. So we filed an I-212 waiver and were approved in three months. But the approval is now somewhere in a dark hole between the States and Embassy in Honduras. I would suggest you get your Senator involved. Ours has helped immensely, keeping pressure on USCIS. Is it worth trying? I would say yes.
