Cases
November 2012 For our client's wife, her I-601 waiver has been approved! Prior to hiring KLOL, Client’s had her first immigrant visa interview in 2007, she submitted an I-601 waiver which was ultimately denied by the Administrative Appeals office on October 27, 2010 for lack of demonstrating extreme hardship to the client, the U.S. Citizen spouse. Several months later, they then hired KLOL. Client reapplied for an immigrant visa on June 23, 2011. She was found to be inadmissible by the consular officer under INA §212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II) for having been in the United States unlawfully for more than one year and under INA §212(a)(6)(C)(i) for entering in June 2002 with a false permanent resident card. ??We submitted a revamped, retuned I-601 waiver to the US Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in August, 2011 with evidence of the extreme medical, emotional, financial, familial, and social hardship to her U.S. citizen spouse, and the indirect hardship to him through their U.S. citizen son. The waiver was later transferred to the Nebraska Service Center in May of 2012 and was approved on October 30, 2012!??She has been out of the U.S. since 2007 because she went to the wrong place first She recently brought her son to Mexico to live with her because they had been apart for so long.
