Info on the reason for the misrep would be very helpful so that people can advise you better, and also info on why your son isn't a qualifying relative? t. 

Son/daughter/child simply isn't a qualifying relative for a misrepresentation waiver (INA 212(i)). Only spouse/parent(s) are.

Same with unlawful presence waivers.

Child/son/daughter is a qualifying relative for CIMT waivers for example.

Was just double checking.

 

Seems the OP has now confirmed that is the reason though, although still not given a reason for the misrep and I don't think anybody can advise without that info.

The misrepresentation was backstamping of my passport

It’s where the date of arrival is different from the actual date of arrival back to the country of origin

That’s correct because the date of leaving to Jamaica doesn’t match what they have in their record at the US port of entry. The embassy lady labeled it as misrepresentation

Do you mean you tried to edit the date on the stamp yourself? Did you overstay the actual period of authorised stay?

This was for a second trip to the US? Not your first trip? can you give a timeline of what happened? I’ve never received a stamp in my passport when leaving the US. how many years ago did this happen?

No I didn’t overstay but I was told by my mother that having stayed close to 6 months was a bad thing that could affect me when I reenter the US. so she took my passport and have it back dated. This happens in the 90s

USA never ever stamp the passport when u leave the US as long as i remembered. the only stamp US gave on the passport( they dont even give stamp anymore in certain POE now) is when the person entered USA.

 

so i was hoping OP can give explain more with the timeline started from the beginning. i think it will be easier for us to understand the problem and perhaps can give suggestion. im scratching my head about this "backstamp" issue and still didnt get it

The entry stamp from Jamaica? 
Okay. I understand. 
So, did you know your son’s husband in the 90s or did you meet him later? 
When did he move to the US? Were you married before he moved to the US? If you are married when did you get divorced? When did he get his LPR status and how long has he been an LPR? can he naturalize soon?

I’ve known my son’s father as far back as the 70s when we were kids. He moved to the states in 2011. I got divorced in 2014 he got his LPR in 2022 of October  he will apply for naturalization next year.  He’s been an LPR for about 2 years coming soon
