MARRIAGE BASED GREEN CARDS: What if I need a Waiver for misrepresentation?

In today’s video, we are talking about marriage-based green cards and we are talking about situations where the foreign national is accused of having made a misrepresentation, either to the State Department or to USCIS or to CBP when coming through customs. And they now have to deal with it before they get their green card. Of course, anybody applying for a marriage-based green card has to first prove that the marriage is valid. So we are not talking about that.

We are talking about a situation where the I-130 has been approved.

Everyone agrees that the marriage is valid, but the officer who’s conducting the green card interview believes that the non-citizen, the person applying for lawful permanent resident status has some inadmissibility problem related to a misrepresentation. Now let me tell you, first off, that USCIS has gotten much more sophisticated when it comes to tracking down representations made by foreign nationals when they come to the united states, when they apply for a visa, and when they come through customs.

You should assume that they have the ability to go back and find everything related to any entry you ever try to make, any attempt to try get a visa.Any time you tried to make it through customs, you have to assume that everything is recorded, and documented and that they know exactly what you did.

So sometimes that comes back to bite you in the butt many years later at your green card interview. And when that happens the officer might invite you to submit a waiver. Well, watch the full video below to find out what to do in that situation Jim
