For your situation: IF a waiver is an option-- You would complete the process as you have. File the forms, go to the interview etc, and then at the interview or afterwards- you are then told you need a waiver and can then apply for said waiver. So even if you knew you would need the waiver you wouldnt be able to submit it until after the interview and them requesting one. I guess that is considered to be good news! You didnt do anything wrong specifically you havent wasted time not filing a waiver earlier because you can not file for the waiver until they tell you you are eligible for one. 

 

Again the issue most people are having with your situation as its been explained is that ICE felt you had a charge warranting deportation. Typically any issue that causes deportation is going to also be an issue of inadmissibility in the future. When you spoke to the attnys recently had you explained the deportation part? Or did you just explain the charges? Because again as stated the charges you describe do not sound like they would be inadmissibility issues. 

Firstly I would like to thank you for all the great info and help! I’m very grateful! 

It puts me at ease that so far I’ve done it correctly and hopefully continue to do it properly for a wonderful victory! 

To answer your question regarding me speaking to attorneys, I have definitely given so much info to them to get the best guidance especially me being deported! One attorney was so sweet actually, she said definitely i would be granted visa because of my charges being so old and minor. I will send documents along with my passport as requested this week god willing and go from there. 

Is it possible to send you messages privately with more specifics once I gather the docs? Once again thank you so much!

 Can I ask a question? What embassy was your interview at?

 

Your profile hasn’t been updated, so I can’t tell from there. Only reason I ask is that I want to make sure you’ve posted in the right forum - this is the UK forum and (and I mean absolutely no offence by this and sincerely hope none will be taken) the way you phrase certain things makes me think you may not be a UK national (which of course, doesn’t mean you can’t interview at UK embassy - but just thought it was worth checking you’ve definitely posted in the right place 🙃).

OP's profile page says London, UK.

OP’s obviously updated their profile, as it didn’t when I asked the question.

Sorry I’m not an expert like you as I’m new to this! The only part I updated was the consulate location from Armenia to London:) Seems like the location automatically starts with Armenia lol 😂 I’m pretty sure I’ve selected the right country though ;)  I would appreciate it if you stop commenting on my topic please, your messages are rude and insulting-  thanks

1. It’s against Visa Journey’s TOS to tell another user not to comment. Plus, you’ve posted this on a public forum, so...🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

 

2. I’m genuinely baffled as to what you consider ‘rude or insulting’? I asked a valid question, based on a logical hunch, to make sure you were posting in the right place...so that you’d get the most relevant advice. To my understanding, that’s actually being helpful...not rude or insulting. 

 

The country you have your interview in makes a difference to the experience you have when going through the visa process. 

 

The country you’re a national of also makes a difference to the experience/way your visa is handled. For example, those that interview in London but are from Middle Eastern or Northern African countries are almost certain to be scrutinised more and their visas take longer to be issued.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrates far and near! I’m reaching out for help again due to stress and feeling heartbroken! Please don’t judge me based on my previous criminal history a decade ago. I was young,  naive and not perfect.  I am dealing with the consequences now and trying my best to be a better person.

 

Last week I have submitted my criminal and deportation records along with my passport as requested by them, and in just 4 days they sent me another green form informing me that I have been found ineligible. I’m not surprised, but confused as few immigration attorneys said that there’s great chance I might not need to file any waivers because of minor charges. 

 

Anyways my question is where do I go from here?  The refusal shows that I’m ineligible and that I might be eligible to file for a waiver. I’ve attached photo showing the exact reasons but it doesn’t indicate if I’m eligible to apply for waiver? Sorry but I’m just confused. Do I need to contact the embassy to see if I’m eligible to apply? or do I go ahead and start the process? 

I can see on USCIS the forms are there, but  wanted to be very sure before gathering all documents and sending it off to Lochbox.

 

I would be happy and grateful for any advice and help throughout this next process!! 

I wish I would of heard about this great community long ago, I would of been prepared better.

You've gotten a generic answer.  You MIGHT be able to apply for waivers.  

 

Whether you qualify to apply for waivers or not will depend on the specifics of why you deported.

 

The next step is a qualified immigration lawyer.  You need to talk to a lawyer to see if you even qualify to file.

Thank you for the response! God knows I can’t afford a lawyer, I’ve spent thousands already and got nowhere. 

So basically if I do qualify, do I just go ahead and start the process without reaching out to my local consulate? 

I was deported under this section if it helps? Section 237(a)(2)(A)(ii) Two or more CIMT’S 

The worst punishment I was given was 1-3 probation with restitution if that helps? 

Thanks again..

The US Embassy/Consulate is not involved with waivers.  That's stated in the letter.

 

You really need to hire a lawyer to discuss what having two CIMT means for the waivers.   

 

You can either sink your money into getting an educated answer or you can sink more money into something that will not ultimately work.

Do you have anyone eligible to file a waiver is the first question.

You file this form with USCIS to get permission to file a waiver https://www.uscis.gov/i-212

You fill out the part in the attached photo as your reason. They wrote that in on your form.

 

If they give permission to file a waiver, then you move on to the waiver 

https://www.uscis.gov/i-601

 

i suggest Laurel Scott. http://www.scottimmigration.net/

He needs a I 601
