I have my visa, but a question

[davidaustralia 0]

well out of the blue I got a phone call asking me if I could make it to Sydney for an interview. And guess what I know have my visa YAY! But a question . But on my visa it says, annotation 212-(g) (2) (B) what do these mean? I know i-212 is a waiver but I didn't need one so was interested in knowing if anyone else has has this on their visa.

Loke just looked at his visa and he does not have that notation, but I looked it up for you.

Aliens who have been convicted of, or who admit to having committed, or who admit to committing acts which constitute the essential elements of a crime involving moral turpitude, other than purely political offenses are excludable under INA §212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I). To be excludable based on an admission, an alien must voluntarily admit all of the facts which constitute the crime and it must be considered a crime under the laws where it occurred. An attempt or conspiracy to commit such a crime is included in this ground.

Moral turpitude refers to conduct which is inherently base, vile or depraved, contrary to the accepted roles of morality and the duties owed between men and men, either one's fellowman or society in general. Neither the seriousness of the offense or the severity imposed determines whether or not a crime involves moral turpitude.

Political offenses are not included in this ground of exclusion. Political offenses are generally considered to be acts taken with others as a part of war, insurrection or rebellion in an attempt to replace the legal authority.

Two exceptions to this ground of exclusion appear in INA 212(a)(2)(A)(ii):

The ground does not apply where the alien has committed only one crime of moral turpitude, the crime was committed when the alien was under 18 years of age and the crime was committed (and the alien was released from confinement to prison or a correctional institution imposed for the crime) more than five years before the date of application for a visa or other documentation and the date of application for admission to the United States.

The ground does not apply where the alien has committed only one crime of moral turpitude, the maximum penalty possible for the crime for which the alien was convicted or to which the alien admits having committed or of which acts the alien admits having committed which constitute the essential elements of the crime did not exceed one year of imprisonment and, if the alien was convicted of the crime, the alien was not sentenced to imprisonment for a term greater than six months, regardless of the extent to which the sentence was ultimately satisfied.

Hello I had a look myself. But its not what you said, I haven't had all my vaccines yet and need to have some it the states according to the USCIS website "Section 212(g)(2) of the Act authorizes waivers in certain instances. To implement the vaccination requirements and the corresponding waiver provisions" and (B) looks like it means that the doctor who did my vaccines didn't think it was medically appropriate for me to have certain vaccines. that makes sense to me as looking back through my documents my doctor ticked a box which read something along the lines of "blanket waiver" I haven't got a police record and have never committed an act of moral turpitude or anything political.

I do not know why there is a smiley face there. It was supposed to be the letter b.

Awe well hell... Google is not always right, but it did say that on three sites I looked at. Either way I am glad you have your answer *hugs*

Us fellow Aussie/Americans gotta stick together.

We do need to stick together mate! I thought it was strange but when I saw the info on the uscis website it made sense. My local council in Tasmania couldn't find my records (my mother too!) so my doctor told me that I could get the other doses of what I needed like tetanus in the states. No big deal I have a visa in my hand and bloody hell it is great. My first white christmas!
