Case Studies

M’s case went back more than a decade, to a time when CBP did not permit her entry to the US to see her dying American citizen husband. Later, her US citizen daughter petitioned for her immigration. But after the I-130 petition was approved and M applied for her immigrant visa, she was denied under Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i). Making the situation more dire: there is no immigrant waiver available for parents of US citizens found inadmissible under this section of the law. What was even more puzzling was that after reviewing the results of a FOIA records request and talking to M in great depth, it was not clear exactly what she was being accused of, i.e., what was the misrepresentation? So we contacted the embassy asking for a clarification. In response, the embassy acknowledged that a mistake had been made, and it removed the misrepresentation finding. M then received her IR-5 immigrant visa and was able to join her daughter in the United States.
