Well I do not get what you were doing, lets start from scratch why and how are you looking to come back to the US?

601a is only from inside the US?

Yes. It's also only applicable for an unlawful presence (overstay) bar.

yes I was. I was down visiting (from a visa exempt country and had valid passport, etc. ) and was offered a job. I went to CBP to apply for work in the US, but from exiting, then re entering to apply at the POE, they denied it and put me into holding.. saying I was attempting to immigrate, so they deported me.

Expedited deportation (5 years)?

Any misrepresentations to CBP? Ever claim to the be a USC?

that's fine.. I didn't expect anyone to be, just thought it was funny that everything was referred to as "he"

I believe you would have to file 601 and 212, but after interview if the officer gives you the option

I am engaged to a US citizen. We have been together for a few years and wanting to live in the US.

He is a veteran and does not want to move away from the US during my time of inadmissability and not have his benefits unavailable

Yes expedited.

And no, never.. 100% honest with them from the get go.

Presumably it would only be an I-212 then.

Edit: Luckily, this can be filed without waiting for the visa interview.

Her case is similar to my husbands.  Expedited with 5-year ban (intent to migrate).  Was 100% honest.  We are pretty certain he will only need solo 212.  However, the confusion is when do we file the 212?  After the 130 has been approved or can we file before?  I've gotten so many answers on this one.

Well you will find out for certain at the interview.
