Trying To Avoid Filing A Fraud Waiver

[kenwil 0]

Hi everyone,I kindly seek your help. I am presently In the process of completing my DS-260 Application. About 25 years ago I went to the U.S. Embassy in Kingston and applied for and got a visitors U.S. Visa in a fictitious name. I have admitted on my G-325 application hat i have previously used other names, and I made mention of the name that I used. Now on the DS-260 Application form I am being asked this question "Have you ever sought to obtain or assist others to obtain a visa, entry into the United States, or any other United States Immigration benefit by fraud or willful misrepresentation or other unlawful means ?" I was told by a lawyer that If I answer yes to this question, they will say that I have committed fraud and deny my visa petition. He says I could then file a fraud waiver, however my wife would have to prove that she will go through hardship if I am not allowed to join her in the United States. The lawyer thinks that it is very difficult for my wife to prove that, since she has a good job, no disability and she is okay. On the other hand the lawyer is saying that If I answer "NO" to the question, then they would say that I have lied to them. Providing that they have located that record from 25 years ago. I am wondering if they may have already searched for the record and probably found it from the information that I gave on the G-325 application. The lawyer seems to think that its been a long time, and its a great chance that they may not have those records.

VJ members, this is my case. Will you please help me to go forward with this.

Thank you all very much

Never lie to immigration. Assume that they will find the old data 25 years ago they had computer records. It is better to go for the waiver than to be banned for life for a second fraud on top of the first one.

[LionessDeon 2,060]

You should always be honest. Lying is considered misrepresentation and can lead to a lifetime ban.

We just recently got our I-601 waiver approved. I have an excellent job, no disability, and I'm okay (well most of the time ). She doesn't have to prove how she cannot live without you. In reality, everyone can go on living without their loved ones and do so everyday. What she needs to prove is that moving to JA to live with you would be a hardship and therefore, you should be allowed to come here (basically). Please use a knowledgeable, experienced waiver attorney.

Tell the truth and take your punishment.

Lie and get caught, then get a lifetime ban.

The US Government is not stupid. They have the best computer databases.

What do you think is worse - admitting you lied or continue to lie? Which do you think gets the harsher treatment?

[Pinkrlion 2,724]

Do not lie. They already have the information. They are wanting to know if you are truthful. My Father in law was deported over 50 years ago and they brought up this information when he had his visitor's visa interview. If you lie they will deny it and give you a lifetime ban.

USCIS keeps info & fingerprints stored

Never lie to them

What name did you use & how long you lived here (hopefully not USC ID)

Were you deported, had a license, came in contact with the law, or used

your real name while in the US

You need to speak to a good atty ASAP and have them see how to sort it out

because this is already a misrep once disclosed , an atty can better speak to

the gray area than a forum.

Once you have an approval to file a waiver you will find hardship (everyone has hardships)

Hi everyone. Thanks for your help so far, I really appreciate and I am happy that I became a member. Already I am feeling much better about this than previously. I certainly am In agreement that being honest is the way forward.

I am adding to my initial information a few things:

1. I lived continuously in the states for 12 years

2. I had a drivers license, and state ID

3. I used my real name and never used the fake name ever

4. I have had jobs with my real name

5. I have children born in the states

6. I Came in contact with the law more than once and was arrested/finger printed before

7. I was held by Immigration, Finger prints were taken by them also

8. I was deported

Thanks again for helping, and I continue to look forward to your help

If your were arrested, fingerprinted, and deported then you are definitely in the system. If you try to squeeze through you will get caught. The US governement may be slow but it has a long memory.

Looks like you are going to get denied. And you will likely need a waiver. You wife can try a hardship waiver but I do also think it will be tough given your record.

This will not be anquick and easy process. She will have to make do for a while.

So you applied for a visa with a fake name ( and passport ?? ) Did you get a visa that time ? You got to the US ( with a visa in your real name ?? ) Did you ever claim you were a US citizen ? What were your issues that got you arrested ?

Before you can proceed further, you will need an attorney. Your immigration issues are not for a DIY forum. Without legal representation, you will not be able to immigrate.

cimt aggravated felonies and overstays have

have no waivers until congress changes the

laws , applicants with felonies are inadmissible

especially on drugs/gangs/guns offences.

Seek a high price lawyer with a reputation that

buck up to DHS with good approvals

Dude you have an uphill battle

Why did you get a visa in another name....did you have a record in JA? (they don't fingerprint for B1/2)

Under what were you deported ???INA ?

Your case needs the master waiver atty...Karl Shusterman (expensive) have successful rates

not matched he's a former INS prosecutor, & he wraps the hardest cases around his finger,

google him, if its a waste to try he lets your wife nows.

Think about 3rd country living for the family, Mexico border if residency can be obtained, so she

could work & the kids go to school on the US side....Canada will be hard but she could check out

Manitoba living , they want young families to move & work there, or get her a job in the N Coast of

Jamaica & live in the tourists areas which has many USC Canadians & returnees & its more secured

and the living there is good

Considering your prior inaccurate representation, immigration fraud, arrest, and deportation; your chances practically are slim to none even with best attorney. If you are resourceful, you can opt to pay for best attorney in a hope that they can find a way out. However, if you are trying to migrate out of your homeland, you will have better chance outcome and less hassles starting over in a different country than US of A. Good Luck.
