I601A Warning

Okay, since the lawyer is "screwing me", give me the fix?  See, I'm not a lawyer, so any of you that have the solution, there's 5000 dollars in it for you.  Get my wife back in the country legally in 60 days.  My understanding is that the only waiver that can be applied for without leaving the country was the I601A, unlawful presence.  Could we have applied for the smuggling waiver from within the US as well?  If so, then well yes, the lawyer screwed me.  If not, we were going to have to have the separation regardless.  PM me if interested.  Hell do it in 30 and I'll give you one of my Rolexes.  I just want her back.

Can absolutely feel your frustration with all of this----a temporary fix might be for either you to move to her country, or the two of you to move to a third country while waiting out the waiver process/any ban.  Possibly not the most ideal situation for you, considering any personal circumstances---but at least you'd be together.  I also suggest finding a different lawyer who specializes in waivers...Boiler mentioned Laurel Scott, a very reputable one.

 

(Incidentally, I always preferred Patek over Rolex....you're new to VJ so be wary of anyone who actually tries to take you up on your "offer" there, presumably you were not serious and just letting off some steam...if you were serious, try to remain realistic in your thoughts even when frustrated---or else you'll face even more frustration when things don't pan out to the timeline in your head.  Even if there were simple legal fixes, it would be naturally longer than 30 or 60 days).

 

Wish you and your wife luck.

So, it turns out the question of entry never came up during the interview. This is the argument my lawyer is making to the state department. If that does not work, we go the longer route. The 601A has helped a lot of families get legal without long separations. I only made this post to make folks aware of what is going on. My lawyer does specialize in family reunification. I’ve wanted to fire her many times like most of my lawyers. The fact that she got the case reopened to begin with was a miracle. I will trust her. 

 

Now, with reference to Patek’s: owned them, love them, as a horologist recognize they are superior to Rolex in every way movement wise. I’ve always lost my ### with them. Like it or not, Rolex are just another form of currency. 

 

You really want to talk watches and a brick?  Buy a seiko marine master with the diashield coating. NEVER scratches. I you not. I look at my Cartier’s and rolexes and they scratch. The high end seikos?  MIRACULOUS. Just wish they were tighter than +\- 15 to 25 a day. 

 

So yeah, there was some venting in my posts. I’m gonna go to bed, wake up at 4 am, and go to Honduras tomorrow. My wife is expecting me to bring my 4 year olds worn pajamas in a food saver bag so she can open it and smell him for the first time in a month.   GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP.

I-601A is for only 1 purpose. To overcome the 3/10 ban for overstaying 180+ days in USA so you can do the interview in your county and return but that smuggling part has nothing to do I-601A. This has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

I can not think of any reason why the Consulate would bring it up, also begs the question how an argument can be made  with the State Department?

 

Anyway obviously a complicated case with specific issues, hope it all gets sorted.

I agree the CO wouldn't have brought it up.

Generally the 601A works when there are no other reasons for inadmissibility.

Hopefully things work out for you sooner rather than later.

Was any immigrant petition filed on or before 4/30/01? She was a little baby though and not capable to making own decisions. I am not sure own blood related baby would be called smuggling? Did they qualify for Asylum? Also, wouldn't the baby be covered under consular processing as a child?

yes.it calls smuggling.this waiver is not that difficult
