Hello,

Anybody know of a good lawyer (who you have dealt with personally) who could get me re-entered to the US? I am currently on a 10 year ban because i overstayed on the VWP. I heard there is a I 212 waiver availible for deportees. I konw i did wrong but i still wanna go back : )

thanks

Are you the spouse, son or daughter of a US citizen or permanent resident? If not, then you can't even apply for a waiver.

SeanVA

no i am not. But i do have a case that i filed in 2000 via my sister (a US citizen) and that case will be looked at next year.

thanks

Well I am afraid you can not apply for the waiver at all. Unless your sister sponsors your parent(s) for permanent residence - in which case you may be the son of a permanent resident.

Ahh that sucks. There must be some way. It is so hard to live in England after living in America. Thanks for your help.

There is no other way other than waiting for ten years or having a private bill passed for you.

Wasn't it harder to live here as an illegal?

You should have thought about it all when you stayed here illegally mate. The immigration laws are strict here just because of people like you.

I know nothing about your personal situation but I can say you had a choice and you made the wrong one.

How did they catch you just out of interest?

Did you get apprehended within the US and ordered removed to accrue that 10 year bar, or just depart on your own following an overstay?

If removed, what was the charge? Was it just for the overstay, or were there other charges?

Do you want to come back to the US to reside, or just to visit?

With respect, what you want is irrelevant. This is the price you pay for your lack of vision.

When did you leave the US?

For an I-601 immigrant waiver a USC or LPR immediate relative is usually required, that's correct. For a non-immigrant waiver, the requirements are different.
