More Of A Sticky Situation

[rebeccajo 14]

If a lawyner needs to give free consultations to get your business... in this kind of complicated case, it's probably not a lawyer worth seeing...

zyggy, ya know I love ya....but.....

My boss gives free consultations every day. Yes, his time is money but he won't take a case unless he can help somebody. He's one of those 'honest lawyers'.

If during the consult he thinks they have a case, he takes a retainer.

Just something that occurred to me. She came over with a fake passport right? So the OP is stating that if he sends her home and starts the K-1 they won't know she overstayed because it was on the fake passport? But...when you come over to the States they take the finger prints of your forefingers, so they have them on record.

So, say he does send her home to Peru and goes the K-1 route with her real name, won't they check her fingerprints through the database? If she has been here before they will have a record of the forefingers and it will match it to the ones in her real name. So they will automatically link her to the fake name?

Or am I talking rubbish?

That's what I thought ...

I'd also be questioning what else she might be hiding

mags, the 'fingerprinting' is a fairly recent development (late 2004 I think). So it depends on when she traveled if there might be 'connecting dots'.

The important consideration is not just the fingerprints which may or may not be on file - but that on all of the relevent application forms it requires you to state when you were in the US and on what type of visa. Now, you can 'misrepresent' the truth by saying the individual under their correct name had not been in the US during that time, but that too is a misrepresentation since the individual had been in the US under another name. As well, it was during this time that the two of them met - and again, the circumstances of the meeting need to be included on the application - so, there continuesto be a problem. A lawyer is definitely a necessity in this case - a competent lawyer, that is - and it will be an uphill fight as there will have to be compelling reasons presented as to why the US should overturn the lifetime ban for this individual's misrepresentation through the use of false documents to gain an immigration benefit.

Personally, if I were Mister Ecau, I'd be finding myself something other than a lawyer.

I'd be finding myself the local Western Union office and sending my 'fiancee' a two-word telegram -

Good Bye.

True story.

It's sad. Too bad she used fake information. I wonder why she did that in the first place. Hope that's not a rude thing to wonder.

[athena_ny 1]

It's sad, but I do agree. Too many red flags.

if they should decide to take the k1 route, then how they gonna prove that they met within the past 2 years???

[athena_ny 1]

Unless he's been to Peru in the last 2 years, they won't.

I married a woman from South America. Why you ask? Here is why. At home a university educated woman can get a job...earning about three hundred dollars a month. Here she can earn fifty grand a year in a restaurant and support her family like royalty. There are no consequences for being caught either. Go figure the motivation.

Sorry, I'm not understanding what you mean. I was asking why she used a fake passport. As in, why didn't she just use her real name? I totally understand why someone would want to move to the US to better their lives. But why use a fake name? Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

They probably faked the visa as well. Young females from South America rarely are given a visa...very rarely.

I'd bet they take prints when she exits...
