I'm a US citizen, and have applied for my husband to come back to the USA, he illegally enter the US in 2000, was arrested and later released with a bond never showed up to the court. Then in 2002 We met and got married. He left the US before I applied for him to come back.He had his interview in Rio De Janeiro and was denied the visa because he overstayed under section 212 BUT they also say they will not accept an Waiver I-601 ? Has anyone had any problems simular to this ? My lawyer has evrything ready to be submited but they will not accept it ! PLEASE HELP :(

On the paper that they gave him at the interview they gave him a bar of 3 years ?They said in August of 2012 he would be able to aply for a visa again.

I just don't get it so does it mean that anyone who overstay here will never be able to come ???

(F) sorry this happened. is it possible for you to move to his country and when the time comes, maybe do a DCF? i know it is very hard (understatement) to stay away from your spouse.

Give Generously, Live Fully, Laugh Often, Love Completely...AND PRAY ALWAYS!!!

He is home!!!

When did he leave the US.

Did he only enter once?

Why will they not accept the I 601

Something does not make sense. If he was denied only because of the overstay he should be allowed to file a waiver. Did they give any other reason for the denial?

Maybe is a mix of a lot of things, not only he overstay but also was arrested, maybe they found more things in his file. We never know.

The visa applicant should know as they are given the specific grounds for their denial.

What was on the paper given to him by the Consulate? There had to be a reason for denial and why it was not a waivable offense. An overstay is waiveable, there has to be more to it. The conuslate decision paper should list the exact sections of the law that apply to your case. If your lawyer can't answer this for you, get a new one.

Some consulates are enforcing the rule that if you miss a deportation proceeding (skip your court date as he did) you are not eligible for a waiver for five years. I'm pretty sure what has happened here.

It sure sounds like that, but she said he was banned for 3 years. That doesn't sound right.

His "ban clock" started ticking when he left the US.
