Hi Everyone, 

 

My dad was recently denied his immigrant visa due to crime of moral turpitude.

 

He committed bigamy in 2006 and received a suspended sentence. His record has since been expunged and his police record is clear. 

 

The consular officer in Jamaica provided him papers and it says to file a i601 waiver.

 

Does anyone have experience on this?

 

I have been doing a lot of research and this was committed over 18 years ago and he has never had any issues prior or since. 

 

I don’t believe I have extreme hardship so I’m confused on that part.

Is that needed for this specific case?

 

I understand I may need to contact a lawyer.

Who is the qualifying relative for an I-601....and I would hire an attorney for a waiver.

I am a USC and filed for my father. He is currently overseas and has never been to the U.S. I assume I would be his qualifying relative as his daughter.  
 

Based on the instructions below it does not seem like a qualifying relative is needed in this case.

A Cimt is unusual compared to the situation we normally see.

 

Just want to check that he did disclose the situation on his DS260?
