Miguel and I were together now for 13 years and married for 9 so we finally decided it was time to get his papers after all he had been paying taxes for years and had been a great worker and husband he had no criminal record and although illegal waiting for a president to pass a law to help him stay here legally was going to be a very long wait.
So I started my husband visa process on 6-24-2016 application I-130 Petition for Alien Relative which costs us 420 dollars got approved with no issue and then we filled out a I-601a Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver costs 630 dollars also approve we were then instructed to make his medical appointment along with his fingerprints and pic then he would also receive his interview at the American embassy in Cuidad Juarez .
He was then given his original appointment at the embassy for 5-22-18 and we had scheduled his medical exam on 5-8 so he had to travel back to Mexico to achieve this since he had not seen his family in several years I thought it was a good Idea to send him down early so he may spend time with his family beforehand he left me and got on a plane April 26th and still has not been able to come home .
He went to his medical exam on 5-8 and was told they found spots on his lungs and that he needed to return for further testing and that they were cancelling his interview with the embassy and stated his test results would come back in 10 weeks .We had already booked his travel to the appointment in Cuidad Juarez before he even left US so we lost 200.00 on one plane ticket as that money was nonrefundable . And Keep in mind we had not planned for this to happen and now I have not enough money to pay rent and bills alone but make it work as good as I can.
He was told to call them back on July 20th 2018 .. So, I call on July 18th and ask if they have the results they say yes and that is was nothing. And that they would now medically clear him of course I knew that as he has never been sick in all the years I have been with him . So I am told I can now reschedule his interview at the embassy I got online and the next available was July 31st so I reschedule his plane and book his hotel of course that’s another 250.00.
He arrives at his interview with all the paperwork on July 31st 8 am they proceed to ask him questions and one question came up after they asked him when he came into the US which was the year 2000 he replied correctly after that the officer asked what happened in the year 2006 di he leave US and reenter he said yes and of course due to his mother almost dying he left to see her as he did not know if he would ever see his mother again . He answered true fully and after the interview the officer advised him he was approved and told him to check the website https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-mx/iv to get his tracking number for DHL as his passport and visa will be sent to that office.
So I check the status on 8-3 it says ISSUED and stated that the visa had been printed and will be on the way to the DHL office. So I go in on 8-6 and check for the tracking number the status now shows REFUSED to refer to the paper you received at your interview of course this makes no sense so I call the NSV office and they state his case is still in process so I blow it off as a glitch then I proceed to check again on 8-9 and now the system said TRANSFER IN PROGRESS your case is being transferred to another US embassy check back later .
On 8-14th I check the computer once more as this is the 10th bd and hoping for good news and not I have a DHL tracking number so excited I tell Miguel go get your visa you can finally come home. He gets to the DHL office only to find his passport and a denial letter that states the below;
9B2 212 a 9 b II the solicitant was illegally present in US for more than 365 days. His inadmissibility expires after Mayo 2028.
For the infraction indicated above you can do the following I601 waiver -the eligibility of a pardon will be determined by the service of immigration and naturalization of the us
9C1 212 a 9 C I the solicitant entered or attempted to enter the US without inspection after being present illegally en the US for a period of more than 365 days .
For the infraction indicated above you can do the following I 212 application -the eligibility of a pardon will be determined by the service of immigration and naturalization of the us
I then proceeded to contact an Immigration lawyer who states there is NOTHING we can do. So what I am I supposed to do at this point Live in Mexico for the next 10 years and sell everything we have worked for all my life ? This is not fair Miguel has tried to be a good person here in US and for us trying to do this the right way this is how you get treated do they not care that this has torn us apart.
I NEED JUSTICE PLEASE HELP ME .. IMMIGRATION IS PLAYING GAMES WITH US WHY DID THEY EVEN GIVE US HOPE AND TELL HIM HE WAS APPROVED WHY DID THEY LIE TO US??
