Denied... Moral Turpitude, Controlled Substance, Drug Trafficking

That makes sense.

Sorry to hear this. Have you looked into moving to and possibly working in Colombia? It really is a lovely country. I hope you can make your relationship work somehow.

 

Panama is another country where I believe it is relatively easy for Colombians to migrate to.

Thank you for your kind words. Rest assured there is no chance that this will end our marriage. I visit a lot and we have a place in Medellin and we are exploring our future together.

Thank you for all the great comments. I have been researching the issue and you all confirmed my earlier findings.

 

Moving Forward:

1) Complete Stepdaughters process. Only one follow up document.

2) Will not apply for a waiver on wife's denial 

3) Will seek to get the charges reversed, expunged or pardoned. Whatever works.

4) At a later date may apply for non-immigration visa after filing the appropriate waiver (received this advise from a lawyer).

 

Thank you again.

 

Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

FYI, even if the record is expunged or she is pardoned, she will still be ineligible for an immigrant visa with no waiver available.  These actions do not change the fact that she was convicted of these crimes for immigration purposes.  An NIV for a person who has a US citizen spouse and who has been denied an IV, but whose daughters have immigrated to the US, is highly unlikely.  I'm not saying this to be mean-spirited --- rather, in the hope you can be realistic about your options.
