Expedite I-601

[malego77 2]

Hello. My friend had her appointment this morning in Cd Juarez Mexico and she's devastated because she was asked to submit I-601 waiver regardless having I-601A approved. The basis of denial are 212(a)(6) (E)- for aiding the illegal entry of another foreigner (her baby at that time). My question is how can she apply to get her application expedited? It seems that she'll  qualify because her husband and kid have medical issues that were proven/submitted with I601a. Thank you

Here is a memo from a few years ago.

Revised Expedited I-601 PM.pdf (uscis.gov)

CDJ has been doing that for years , it’s a risk hopefully the attorney advised her beforehand. 
 

Was her I-601 A expedited ? ( all such waivers are based on hardship). If yes then likely expedite four I-601 will be granted at filing.  
 

If I-601 A was not expedited, then file I.601 , get receipt and prepare some updated medical treatment/conditions to show need to expedite and call it in

I am sort of assuming no Lawyer as this seems to be a surprise 

 

So the I 601 package would be first and that is not a quick process.

 

Expedite is certainly possible but by no means guaranteed

I601A was not expedited but was approved before she went out for interview.

Have they appointed a lawyer?

She has one but wants to charge her 5k to help her with the eaiver on top of the 20k she already paid him.

20K? That is a lot. Well above normal fees.

If that $20K Attorney did not advise your friend of THE ( almost guaranteed risk) that CDJ revokes and finds smuggling charges to Everyone w EWI kids …then your friend CAN take a different approach in dealing with him.

 

So for the $5K question, DID your friend know of the RISK? Did attorney advise her ? 

 

In either case , she can ask for a complete I-601 A filing copy ( including brief/exhibits/ evidence ) add an updated doctors letters ( see what was sent and get new one)  AND she can DIY the I-601. 

Only thing in the brief that will change is ref to I-601 ( not I-601 A ) and ref ULP / unlawful presence and current inadmissibility .

 

After filing, call in to USCIS for expedite and have husband reach out to congressman for help

Sadly she paid in advance and missed an appointment last year because she was not notified of it.

She knew about the posibility of having to submit another waiver after interviewing because she started to get information on immigration forums but I guess she had hope I would not be her case... Thank you for the advise I'm trying to help her to the best of my understanding.

What she could done is have. Ready Set Go I-601 Form and cut copy paste duplicate filing ready to send out same day as refusal letter in hand. ..

Attorney is off the hook , when such risk approached w eyes wide open.

While there isn’t much activity/postings on CDJ on VJ, can you please tell me what other forums she relies on? 
 

I am conversational en Español, and would like to see what information is floating out there. Thank you

There's a Facebook group she in and they have good info https://m.facebook.com/groups/2384047095178386/permalink/3138973899685698/

 

About the "copy paste" it turns out she made the hardship letter, the lawyer translated and sent the I601 without giving her a copy of that form filled out according to her. That's the first thing I thought on doing to make it easy to elaborate.

Most attorneys do that …fail to provide complete copies of the filing …..

 

 Even  a $2k waiver filing or DIY has well crafted brief ( they probably had her sign only the signature page) loads of evidence husband and child’s medical, therapy evaluation and treatment if any, extensive financial, support letter, her own statement , country conditions..etc. 

 

She has a right to her entire file just needs to ask ( email and by letter) attorney cannot deny  and is subject to disciplinary action for refusal…but may charge her fee for making copies even w a$20K paid already.

 

Plus she can do a USCIS online FOIA and will the the EXACT filing …she can use husband’s US address for mailing. That IS FREE

 

Gracias for the link to FB
