    Hi, just read this. How did you find out about the ban? Were you deported when you were a F1 visa student?

    Hi, I just found this thread. This is great news - do you care to elaborate on what happened here and how they reversed it?
  3. coolcat20
    Sorry lol! Thank you. Sorry for the dumb question, but would you have to ask them to contact one of these departments in DC or do you do it by yourself?
  4. coolcat20
    It is definitely worth a try. Do you mind re attaching the policy you are referring to? Sorry what do you mean by DC?
  5. coolcat20
    That sounds great overall, but shouldn't the CO have been informed about how that policy works? Because then I obviously shouldn't have been given this ban in the first place. Now if it is in their system (probably, right?), how does that get removed if you cannot appeal the CO's decision? If any of those options you presented were to be filed: wouldn't the 10 year bar, if in the system, just lead to a denial? Just trying to understand how I don't have a bar according to your understanding, but the CO was so direct and quick to tell me I did.

    In this case it is Sweden.

    Yes, D/S with no specific date. Never was brought in front of a IJ/IO, was never in removal proceedings as I departed on my own. The SEVIS was terminated by a university official.

    So to clarify: I was admitted as D/S, with no end date. Yes, the SEVIS was terminated by a university official. I was never in removing proceedings or brought ahead of a IJ/IO. I found out about the bar by the consulate officer.

    Thank you for your input. My documents that I had brought with me (and never was given the opportunity to present because the interview quite literally was over in 30 seconds) showed I have property in my home country, 1 business that I run, more immediate family, an ongoing master program at university and more evidence.
  10. coolcat20
    Got it. Any idea how it's looking for Sweden?
  11. coolcat20
    Got it. So regardless, a waiver is needed. The waiver you mentioner earlier though for tourist visas: is this something I would have to reapply with, or contact the embassy for?
  12. coolcat20
    I understand. Does the wait time differ depending on what country the beneficiary is in? And it is absolutely certain that they would require a waiver?
  13. coolcat20
    Is the waiver then submitted with the I-130 packet (what exactly do you send in at this time?), or only if USCIS would request a waiver? Is there also a significant difference between this scenario, or if you would apply for a K1-visa? Would this get approved despite the ban, or this also includes having to include a waiver?
  14. coolcat20
    Ouch. That's a long time. Now if it would come to marrying a USC, how would that process look like in terms of the ban and waiver? And processing time? That makes sense. Thanks
  15. coolcat20
    Thanks for the clarification.

    It's worth noting that my parents are older and limited to traveling, and majority of my family lives there. So not being able to visit them for months at a time or a few months out of the year will be very difficult for our family as a whole.
  17. coolcat20
    Got it. Any idea of how long these petitions take to process and hopefully get approved? Regarding the no need for waiver: do you mean this will take 9 years to process?
  18. coolcat20
    Another question: do they only apply with this form and the filing fee in the packet? What else should be included? Just to repeat: parents are LPR's, sibling is USC and I am 30 and unmarried/no children.
  19. coolcat20
    I see. So you mean they will have to file the form I-130? And do they only submit this to begin with without a waiver?
  20. coolcat20
    No I am not. This would be done through my family as I understand from the previous replies.
  21. coolcat20
    I understand. I thought it was worth a try because I was able to prove my ties to my home country and responsibilities here. There was never any thought of misrepresentation. Yes that seems to be what most are agreeing on. Thank you I understand. It seems as a waiver is the best route and to consult a knowledgeable immigration lawyer.
  22. coolcat20
    I'm simply asking because as posted, I have both my parents and sibling there. I am not interested in F1 since I already have a completed degree. Thanks for your continuously condescending input though.
  23. coolcat20
    thank you, I appreciate your answer.
  24. coolcat20
    Got it. Would I need to reapply for the tourist visa and ask for the waiver at the embassy or how does this work? Is an immigration lawyer required for the I 601? I appreciate any helpful information and examples on this.
  25. coolcat20
    It seems as the D3 is only available for DREAMers. Regarding I-601: this is to prove extreme hardship correct? are these successful at all?
