[gentelfun 0]

Hello,

 

I need help please, I get my green card by visa f2b, i was married before entering us, I am in us for 2 years now. I don't know what to do to bring my wife and my son.

 

If any one can help. plzzzz

When did you get married?

 

Did you get the certificate of marriage or just a wedding ceremony before entering the US?

 

If you got your visa by F2B (for single applicant) and then you got married before entering the US, you violate the F2B visa's condition.

 

If you apply for your wife, USCIS will check the date on your certificate of marriage, and they realize that you get married before entering US, then they will revoke your green card, which mean deportation.

  By marrying before you entered you invalidated you visa which means your wife and child can never come to the US and once discovered you will also be expelled.

1. Your family will never be allowed to come to the US. 

2. As soon as you file for them, USCIS will realize you broke rule of your visa, your green card will be taken away and you'll be deported. 

3. Don't even think about applying for citizenship. You'll get deported instead. 

 

Thank yourself for screwing up your situation.

There's nothing you can do.  

You should not have gotten married before entering the US...surely you knew this was a requirement?

The only legal way for you to be reunited with your wife and child in the same country is for you to go back to them.

There was a case like this which was discussed last year in this forum.

 

A husband who got F2B visa and got marriage before entering the US. Then he apply for his wife and his daughter to go to the US by F2A.

NVC and Consular officer who interviewed his wife did not found this, so his wife went to the US.

 

When he applied for naturalization, USCIS checked his record and found out this situation. They send him a court order in which require him to go to the court and be ready for deportation as well as his wife and daughters.

 

You should contact the lawyer to ask for an advice. You are so fortunate that you discover this problem before applying the application for your wife. You should not try to do anything risky.

 

When USCIS and NVC found out this problem, they decided to ask F1 and F2B applicants to sign a DS-237 Statement of Marriageable Age Applicant in the interview as belows, so the applicants will not marry before entering the US.

Maybe your Consular officer did not ask you to sign this form in the interview, so you did not know about this.

Ignorance cannot be an excuse here. The rules for this visa category are really clear and I'm sure no one in USCIS will forgive OP just because he might "not know".

A lawyer isn't going to be able to do much to help him, since no lawyer can change the fact that he did not meet the visa conditions.

Your green card could and should be revoked for misrepresentation. 

 

You knew you broke the rules here.

Wait this is even worse... while there might be some excuse of ignorance in getting married after the visa (unlikely to change the situation but still an honest mistake) there is no chance at all here, with the marriage date being before the visa was issued. This is a clear cut case of a visa that should never have been issued as the applicant did not meet the requirements (and it’s hard to think of a situation here to be frank where there was no misrepresentation) and the green card will certainly be revoked as soon as uscis finds out about it. If there was indeed misrepresentation then it was certainly material, lying to gain an immigration benefit he was not entitled to, and there could be a lifetime bar in store too?

CO's interview notes could help. If OP was verbally asked at interview, or he otherwise officially affirmed being unmarried, that would be a whole lot worse. 

 

Wonder why the 2-yr wait to get the wife/son into the US; did he think USCIS would just forget or ignore the misrep over time?

Good find. Seems OP did not take the advice previously given to him.

 

I've said it before; people who do things the wrong/illegal way think that all they have to do is get feet on US soil and everything will be easy for them. Then they struggle to find a way to rectify the problems caused by breaking of the rules to get here.

Apart from the fact that it’s standard practice to ask F2B applicants if they are married, and as mentioned above a form that they are asked to sign, there is also the little matter of the DS260 that presumably had the OP listed as single. It’s almost certain that there is proof of misrepresentation somewhere. 

 

Wish the OP would come to back to clarify, I wouldn’t be surprised if a “friend” told him it was ok if he waited for 2 years or something like that...

Get an attorney. Keep your head low.

Your family members will not be able to immigrate to the US via you...you would very likely be discovered for violating your visa's requirements and making a material misrepresentation.

As noted, the best way to be together is to do so outside the US.

[Roel 7,192]

I'm 99% sure we won't see OP anymore but just in case he'll read it -

 

Do yourself a favour and leave US because you're here absolutely illegaly, after you scammed your way through the visa process. 

 

Your family will never be able to come here.
