Appreciate your input! Will come back in three weeks or so and give an update, we are hoping no waiver is needed.

Yes, this is the removal notice he received. Other than that, he doesn't have any issues. Never lived in the U.S or other attempts.

My husband completed his 5 year ban on 9/17/2023. He has his interview in February. Is it likely they will still ask for an I-212? And in case they do, can we appeal that decision since he has already fulfilled the 5-year ban? Or what other option would we have if that were to happen?

I have our consular appointment on February 1st, we were DQd 3/6/2023. I'm planning on filling out a new-864EZ form for the most recent tax year (2022) and uploading it as an "additional document" to the CEAC website along with updated tax transcripts (2022) and W-2 (2022). Would this be the latest form? It says it expires 12/31/2023 but I can't find another form on the USCIS website. Thanks,

Just wanted to make sure, really appreciate you answering all my questions and helping me feel more confident about the process! I submitted all the documents yesterday so hopefully we get DQ without any issues! Thanks again!

Do you all think that should be sufficient? Those are all the documents he was given regarding the removal.

These are the documents that he was given:

Hi All! Do you know what documents are accepted for the ”Deportation Documentation”? I wasn’t able to find any information in the NVC website and want to be sure the documents will be accepted. A brief overview of the case: The applicant has a illegal entry attempt. He was detained (2 days) and then had a hearing were he was removed and given a 5 year ban which will be completed this September.

Thank you, I did answer the questions (as shown above) and tried to provide those details. Do you know if there are possibilities that he will be required a I-212 waiver even if he has his interview after the 5 year ban?

Good point - I didn't catch that. I have updated the answers to the questions highlighted in yellow since he would be considered unlawfully present for his illegal entry attempt. Regarding the other comment about being unlawfully present for more than the 180 days, I kept the answer as "No" since the only time he was in the country were those two days that he was in the detention center. Also, what do you all think, should the "Have you ever traveled to any countries in the past five years?" be "Yes" ? No other travel other than the illegal attempt.

This was so helpful, thank you so much!! I will be using the format you provided and will provide his taxpayer id from his country! Really appreciate your help.

Currently under a similar situation. For the declaration statement what identification number did you provide your spose? We are submitting the W-7 form so not sure what to provide . Thanks!

Thanks everyone for their input. I filled out and answered "Yes" to both questions and gave a brief explanation. But a few more questions, would you all agree these is the correct way to answer the questions below? Just want validation/opinions on how to go about answering them. (Some background info, after being detained for two days he did have a hearing were he was given the 5 year ban by the judge. He has never lived in the US and that's his only illegal entry). If that doesn't align with the answers I chose please let me know! Answered "Yes" to being removed from the U.S. and having a removal hearing Believe none of those apply to him Unsure if this one should be "Yes".

Hi! I have a few questions about the DS-260 that we are unsure how to answer Questions: Have you ever been in the U.S? (Yes?) (Length of stay: 2 days?) (Those were the two days he was in the immigration detention center) Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry? (Yes?) My husband was given a 5 year ban for an immigrant attempt back in September 2018. Thanks all!
