His wife excuse is that he can get married on this type of “B” Visa  it is for business and pleasure. She says once you get to interview status if they ask him if he is married at that point he will not lie and say yes she was married. But I think we forgot the part about the DS – 160. Because Wayfare once he entered marital status back in to qualify him.  

Again- what do they plan to do when his B visa application gets rejected?

I'm slightly terrified that they were willing to lie to get what they want.  I hope they realize that him telling border officials that he was there to visit friends, when it's now clear he was trying to visit his wife and adjust, has been recorded.  And that that has established your friend as a dishonest individual who will need to be subject to far greater scrutiny than other applicants.

 

I wish them luck.  I also wish them the gift of honesty.

She said she will then apply for the I130. I told her why bother going through all of that just apply now. It'll take a while to get here but hey you shoulda asked before sending him off to go kiss his friends and family goodbye back home and not adjusting first.

I was shocked when she told me he told the officer he was returning to see friends. THATS WHAT I TOLD HER. Its now been recorded. He never said Im headed back to my wife. Thats where they made a mistake. Afterall it is DHS. I cant wait to see this outcome.. Thank you for the feedback. I definitely want to share everyones feedback with her so he doesnt go the B1 route.

In this case, I would apply for the I130 first, getting that in the system showing they intend to do things properly, then have him try applying for a B2 so he can potentially visit during the process.  Now I am not saying he will be a shoe in for a B2 with an I130 processing, but if I were a CO, to me it would look better.

This is correct. I think thats where they are getting confused. They think he can come and go as a B1 while married and before adjusting. Basically he wanted to go home, pack up, say bye, and get back THEN adjust. He figured last 5 years he's been going and coming no biggie but this time he got stopped because he was approaching the end of 5 months of his 6 month visa and no return ticket....just a one way back to USA. Just when they thought he can get that one last visit, boom. You cant outsmart them.

Hope it’s not held against them when they try show a genuine marriage either... 

 

What does he plan to do for the next year or so at home ? And she’s pregnant you said? So she’s going to have the baby alone while he’s stuck in his home country.  Supremely bad planning on their part.

VERY bad planning. As I said earlier I wish I had a clue or knew he planned on going back home. I was shocked esp being that she has been asking me about what forms to download for AOS, etc. Im going through my own K1 so I didnt mind helping. He has a home in his country and can work for his dad at his dads business. He wont be there for his childs birth sadly.  

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

I wish your cousin lots of luck. Long distance relationships are hard enough without throwing becoming (effectively) a single parent of a new baby into the mix. It’s going to be a really tough year or so for her, I’d guess.

I understand what you are saying, but there are always going to be folks out there willing to take the risk of cutting the line.

100% on point.....they thought this was the best way of cutting the line AT THIS POINT knowing he should have done I130.  

 

His travel could have waited imo. 

 

Yes technically his B1 Visa was still good. Thats probably how they saw it. Why waste a perfectly good visa. Let me go do what I need to do and get it out of the way and then head back home and adjust. Thats what he thought to do but didn't ever think DHS would catch the fact he had no return ticket back  ❌✈️❌

I think he'll deserve his lifetime ban when they get caught lying.

I'm not. People lie through their teeth all the time. It happens every day, at every corner of every US Embassy and Consulate across the world. People lie like crazy to get a visa. That's why I have a lot of respect for the COs, the front line officers, who are actually conducting interviews everyday, gets lied to their face and they KNOW it, and still act with courtesy and respect. I probably will not last very long as a CO interviewing people for a visa. By about the second or third applicant, I probably will start slapping people in their faces.

They are stupidly wasting their time.  The chances of his getting another B1/B2 are slim......

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

And he’s been pretty ..l tried to be diplomatic but dumb is the only word that springs to mind... in the big scheme of things. Spouses of USCs get forgiven a lot...if they are physically in the US. If they are not, it’s a much bigger problem. It’s entirely possible that if he does lie about his marriage to try get a B visa he’ll get a misrep ban, as that would be in writing on the DS160 and intent to mislead to get a visa easily provable. I’m sure it will be waiverable, but could add another year or so and legal fees to the process.  Two years apart, with new baby, is a lot for a couple who apparently never intended a long distance relationship.
