If there was a dental exam, we British would be screwed.

"Through Friends" would have been another good option in the poll.
Annette's best friend married one of my friends - about 6 months prior to their wedding, they arranged a trip to Rome for his (British) and her (American) friends to meet.
Annette and I met, and the rest is history!

Before emigrating, I was a Tax Inspector in the UK.
Then there was the 6 months of enforced K1 unemployment, but after obtaining work authorization, I became a Financial Investigator with the Colorado Attorney General.
Anyone with a public sector background, please be aware that whilst Federal jobs are reserved for USC's, most State, County, and Local jobs are open to non-citizens.
Good luck!

They can always hold any arrest against you, regardless of whether it was dismissed. That's why they ask for all court documents and dispositions in your N400, and for you to bring them in the interview.
I had a petty theft/shoplifitng arrest that was a little over 5 years old when I interviewed and I sent photocopies of all court documents with my N400, and brought certified copies with me to the interview. They didn't ask for it during the interview but I was ready if they did. My case was recommended for approval and I got oath pretty quickly.
It's kind of annoying that your IO didn't ask for them in your interview, but I have to assume you sent the photocopied documents with your application and you had them with you during your interview. If you didn't then you were very unprepared. Just get the proper paperwork to the right people and hopefully it'll get sorted out.
But please let that be a lesson to everyone that if you got arrested for any reason to have all that paperwork ready in your application and during the interview. If it was a minor offense and happened many years ago it will probably not be an issue but you should never take the risk.

Yes I do qualify for the defferd action, but they say that it doesn't help because it doesn't make me legal the only thing that it does is that allows me to work, that's it..

You were not deported. Not even close. You were denied entry based on the assumption that you don't have a valid visa for your intended visit. Give us the I-212 entry in your passport and we'll tell you the line of action. Most likely you can reapply right away. But it's possible that CBP will deny you entry again. Understand that a visa is just pre-clearance, that you have no right to enter, and that you are ultimately always at the mercy of the CBP officer who may or may not have a good day when you show up.

To me he/she wasn't simply arrested. They wanted to put him/her in the next plane to his/her country, but maybe there wasn't any flight that day, so he/she had to stay somewhere, since he/she was denied an entry to the US.

Annie,
if I can make you happy with a short answer, here it is: no matter what you will hear otherwise, here or elsewhere, all the information needed is in regard to the past 5 years. What happened before the 9 years is water under the bridge and it will never come up ever again.

Just exactly as I said....CBP are the bad guys, every American's GF/BF/SO is the innocent victim....sounds like you don't care for the laws and regulations of the United States of America...there is no 'quota' for denying admission to arriving aliens...it's not some game played by bored CBP officials...denied admissions occur because the arriving alien gives CBP pause in some way...inconsistent answers, hestitant responses, followed by luggage inspections that often reveal the truth....so once again, I applaud the work of our CBP folks....and don't believe a word you say about them. Perhaps you believe that you could do a much better job sorting out bonafide tourists, etc when they get off the plane....if so, why not seek employment with CBP? In fact, why aren't they sending a car for you, begging you to completely manage the entire border system?
What you might consider doing is have a heart to heart talk with the wife...and, ask her for the I-275 (yes, that's the written report those nasty CBP folks draft when they are denying admission to someone...see if they checked the "quota for the month" denial box...or, as is more likely, there will be a narrative full of evasive answers given by your wife to the CBP folks....

SREY, with all due respect that is not true for all Green card holders.
Camidustyb. please provide more information. please tell us how old is your son.
this is directly from USCIS.gov : For at least 3 years during which time you have been, and
continue to be, married to and living in a marriage relationship
with your U.S. citizen spouse; ( basically saying that after 3 years you can apply for your citizenship if you are married to a US citizen )
I really don't like when people give out wrong information here, i really hope that you guys check your facts before giving advice to someone else.

Its not as simple as just getting married… she would also need to be financially stable and the application process is few thousand dollars.

Don't marry her because you want to stay. Your post screams of marrying so you can stay in the US
good luck
PS - how long have you been with your girlfriend?

If its too good to be true it usually is
You cannot extend your stay as a tourist in the VWP and you have no grounds for a green card so you have nothing to file for one
Plan on returning home in 2 months
good luck

If she was refused at the port of entry and sent back, she will have to obtain a VISA to come to the US and visit. She can do so at the US consulate in her home country. Despite her status as a passport holder of a VWP country, her refusal now precludes her from the privilege, hence her need to obtain a visa.
However, if you are planning to live in the US, you should petition a resident visa for her. You can find more information and links to the forms necessary to complete the process in the link below:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2991.html
However you should really only go that route if you are planning to establish residence in the US.
If neither case is viable - she can't get a US visa nor do you have plan to reside in the US - I might suggest you consider taking your family to meet her in another country, such as Canada for instance, where chances are she will not need a visa to enter.
I hope it all works out for you! Good luck!

That's a silly argument to make. If you don't want to carry your green card around - contrary to the law - that's your business, but don't try to say that that isn't what the law requires, because it clearly does.

have u actually read this from the USCIS site scotinmass? >>>> If you are a permanent resident age 18 or older, you are required to have a valid green card in your possession at all times <<<<
You may wanna start carrying it because you have been breaking the law!

By law a green card holder must keep it on their person at all times.

It has passive RFID in it, not the GPS for God's sake. If also can be surrendered at any time if the owner doesn't like it.

It says to "prevent wireless communication with it". There are devices that can read the magnetic strips on credit cards and steal the numbers and information wirelessly. Criminal can carry these devices in their pockets and get all the CC numbers of the people around them. A GC also has a magnetic strip on it. They give you the pouch for your protection, so you don't get your identity stolen from these devices.
If they wanted to spy on you, then they would NOT give you that pouch, since it PREVENTS communication with it.

If his interview is at 2pm I highly doubt he has the same day oath. Usually offices that do same day oath schedule interviews in the morning so people can have some rest and return for the oath in the afternoon.

If your daughter is a green card holder and not a US Citizen, she is not entitled to a US Passport and it would be refused on those grounds. If your daughter is a US citizen and under age 16, she need permission from both parents to have a passport. If your daughter is a US Citizen,under age 16, and your state family court has awarded you sole custody, you will need to go to the family court and obtain an order permitting you to apply for a passport for your daughter. Your daughter may be able to be automatically a US citizen due to your naturalization after her birth and sole custody. If you have not formalized custody of your daughter, you probably should do soas soon as possible, for her sake.

I'm sorry but a spousal visa is your only option. They have accused him of immigrant intent. he is unlikely to ever be permitted to get another visitor visa.

APPROVED Passed the interview! Now to wait for oath, I was ten minutes past the same day oath cut off point

Nope. You'd know this if you had actually read the thread. The OP stated:
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how his income is reported, which neither you nor I know.
