Case Studies

Because of a conviction related to a drug possession case when he was 21, B was inadmissible under Section 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(II). For years, he was able to obtain a nonimmigrant waiver. But after his most recent visa expired and he reapplied for a new waiver, out of the blue, the consular officer handed him a visa refusal sheet indicating that he was a drug trafficker: Section 212(a)(2)(C)(i). How could that be? During our consultation with B, we did a deep dive into the drug-related incident and came to the conclusion that it could only be viewed as a controlled substance violation, not trafficking. We helped B compose a letter to the Embassy seeking clarification and disputing the refusal. After a couple of days, the Embassy acknowledged its error, removed the 2C entry, and recommended the granting of the waiver for the 2AiII inadmissibility.
