I am giving him good advice. He has to face reality and learn what
extreme hardship is in the eyes of the INS (don't cha think?)

It looks like Karen's post is no longer available on my server, like it
was deleted or something
Karen: If you paid attention, you will notice that I gave him good
advice. I told him he needed an attorney in my first reply to the post.
The other replies were more critical because he became an arrogant
butthead.

Hey All,

I have been Reading up on this site for a while now and I have not
seen or read anything that anyone has posted about the I-601 Form ,
Which From what I can gather is a Form which you can submit if you are
Denied your Visa , which explains the Hardship Which would be Brought
on Your US Citizen Spouce If you were to get Deported or Be Denied A
Visa and a Stay in the US.

I researched this cause I got Married here In the States , had to go
back Home to Ireland to Sort stuff Out and Then Come Back to Florida
to be with my Wife and I did not Exactly Tell the truth to The INS Guy
at P.O.E In Dublin but he let me Through.

My Problem Is that My Wife is pregnant and due in March and were
terified that our petition is going to be rejected because of the
Incident at Dublin Airport , all depending on what The INS guy
Documented and Submitted to File.

This I-601 is basically a INS Form which you explain the hardships for
instance my wife would suffer if my petition gets rejected and I get
deported and with my Wife Been Pregnant and with a baby on the way The
hardship is self explanatory.

Dose anyone have any experience or Knowledge Of This I-601 INS Form
???


Here is a Passage from the Site Which I found The Information on ....

The Site I found the Information is .....

http://www.iicenter.org/visas.html#marriednogreencard


If a spouse of a US citizen committed visa fraud through either
multiple entries on a visitor's visa, entering on a visitor's visa to
marry a US citizen, or working without authorization immediately after
entering the US, a waiver will have to be filed with the above
package. The waiver, Form 601, will require an accompanying affidavit
from the US citizen citing the hardships to the US citizen if the
spouse is denied a green card
These hardships, for example, could include the hardship of the US
citizen being separated from her/his spouse, the inability to start a
family, the financial hardship of not having the spouse contribute to
the monthly mortgage, the hardship a US citizen would face getting
work authorization in another country, the hardship to the US citizen
adjusting to another country's culture, climate, and lack of
employment opportunities available therein.
Hi:

You may want to at least CONSULT with an attorney experienced in waivers or go to Catholic Charities, or if in Chicago, Travelers Aid Society.

You mention having been "let through" -- that makes me wonder what happened at Dublin.

POINT ONE of analysis: did you make an actual "misrepresenation?" This can be a tricky question that is not as simple as it appears. Also, it is different from "preconcieved intent." It may very well be that you are not inadmissible. Then hardship becomes irrelevant.

On the "hardship" angle, you don't give any facts other than your wife is pregnant. What is the hardship to her and the child if you can't immigrate? When answering this question, you have to look at it from two angles -- one, if you can't live in the US with them, and [this is what people miss], why can't they live with you in Ireland or the EU? [Financial difficulties can be cited but NOT as the PRIMARY reason]. Also, the level of "extreme" hardship has to be weighed in light to the gravity of the misrepresentation.

This information is quite general. I'm not your attorney and I'm not advising you on how to go about things other than by giving some background.

Good luck.

Yes, Andrew, but to tell someone they're misspelling a word is not
advice, it's just rude. And I've seen you misspell words on previous
posts.
