IMHO, you might be required to file both I-212 and I-601 waiver, but you will know until your interview at the embassy/consulate.

 

Before your visa was canceled, you visited for almost 6 months. When did you leave the US in that visit? 

after my last staying almost 6 months, I left US in april 2019 and I returned after 45 days later.

That was your error.  The unofficial, speculative rule of thumb is to spend twice the time out as in.  So you should have waited a year to come back, ideally.

Yup, that's a whole lot of time to visit for somebody who has strong ties to return home. It very likely looked like a clear attempt to live in the US instead of just visit.

That - along with the immigration history - would also explain why they decided to do an expedited removal instead of just letting you withdraw the application for admission.

Most likely, CBP determined that you were abusing the visitor visa to illegally live in the US with a brief 45 days visit to your home country.  That's why your visitor visa was cancelled and you were given an expedited removal.  

Get a good lawyer to help you with this.

As others have already adviced,go through your IV process normally. At your IV interview you will be informed of your inadmissibility...then you retain a lawyer to assist your waiver process. As at now a lawyer can do anything for you... waivers cannot be filed Stan alone...you have to have been declared inadmissible by the embassy.

To be more specific, an I-601 waiver cannot be filed standalone.

An I-212 waiver can be filed standalone.

OP already has I-130 petition, he no longer qualifies for I-212 which is a waiver for inadmissibility for non-immigrant category.

That's not correct. A pending I-130 doesn't impact an I-212, and an I-212 is needed for both an NIV and IV, if barred from applying for admission.

Many people have done a solo I-212 mid-process of an IV when their only issue was a removal (no I-601 was needed).

OP is going with an I -130 ..he is asking if his inadmissibility based on his revoked visa will affect his I-130....he is not asking about non immigrant visa hence no need for I-212 which is used for non-immigrant visa except K's. Please look through my source and be informed.

It doesn't matter if there's an NIV involved or not. I'm saying a solo I-212 applies if the only issue is the removal.
 

Just to make it more clear, here's the list of locations to file the I-212 from your link: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/direct-filing-addresses-form-i-212-application-permission-reapply-admission-united-states-after-deportation-or-removal

See the "Applicant for immigrant visa and waiver on Form I-601 not required" section. Per your claim, this category shouldn't be possible...it only applies to NIVs.

 

Edit: And just to be clear...there absolutely have been people that needed an I-212 approved in order to be issued an IV. It's not an uncommon occurrence.
