F1-Reinstatement denial( entry ban?)

[asghar ali 0]

Hello members, this is asghar from pakistan. I stayed in usa for a period of 6 years on f1 visa. But unfortunately some how i had lost my status. I tried to fix by taking admission into a new college. They issues me a new i-20. I had used that new i-20 and left usa and then returned but some how at the port of entry they inserted previous i-20 number into the system. Long story short i had to apply for reinstatement which was denied. They said i need to leave the country as soon as possible. I left the country after receiving denial notice from uscis. My both kids were born U.S. citizens. I had to burn my American dream. Now i am back from where I had started my journey. 6 years of my life seems wasted. I am glad that at-least kids got the citizenship but I wasn’t able to get work experience in usa. Is there any lawyer who is reading this can help me to find out if i am banned from usa or not. I would really appreciate your help.

What do you mean when you say that "somehow" you lost your status? What's the story?

Which visa are you applying for?

@Rocio0010 it was due to my previous school there was a minor delay

in fee payment. I was on vacation they didn’t even bother to contact me before termination of my student F1-status.

@Boiler hi i am not trying to apply for any visa unless i am sure that they didn’t put any ban on us.

You do not have a ban..but do have a few problems.

 

Visitor visa will be denied ( due to 2 USC kids)

 

Any other non immigrant visa ( let’s say work ) would have to be dual intent to clear the USC kids hurdle .

 

Many switch schools and get past CBP without problems .
 

Does your denial letter give you date of termination of status ..as the date 1st I-20 was pulled or later date of reinstatement denial ? 
 

If you can redact name /personal info , upload the denial letter .
 

There a few very savvy posters that have tackled F-1 issues ..here’s hoping they see your post.
 

Are there details in denial for periods of time they state you failed to maintain status ? How many days? 
 

Did school # 1 refuse to help you reinstate ? I always thought they are helpful .. and did school # 2 help you w reinstatement application?

If your SEVIS record is Terminated, you have two options: travel outside the US with a new I-20 or submit a Reinstatement application to regain your status. An advisor from OISS will work with you to determine what the best option for you would be

Different visa's have different requirements and the only way of making a sensible comment would be in connection with the specific basis.

 

It does not appear you have a ban but that call would be down to the CO. If you did overstay by more than 6 months you have a 3 year ban, a year is a 10 year ban.

@@Family thanks for

your response. I am attaching the decision with it please have a look at it.

You overstayed 6 years. I believe you have more than a ten year ban.

@Pinkrlion i had a 5 year visa with multiple entries. I had applied for reinstatement when they told me that my status is terminated which as per their law is not considered illegal till the date of decision
