In this video, attorney Dyan Williams tells a true success story about a Form I601 waiver and Immigrant Visa grant to a client with a permanent bar under INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i). The U.S. Consulate found she previously married a Diversity Visa (DV1) applicant solely to apply for a DV2 visa as his derivative beneficiary. Years after the divorce, she married a U.S. citizen who needed her to join him in the United States.

Consistent with normal processing time, USCIS took 10 months to approve her Form I601 application for waiver of inadmissibility, which we prepared and filed on her behalf. But due to the U.S. Consulate’s administrative delays and a Presidential Proclamation suspending entries from the client’s home country, it took almost three more years for her to get the visa.

This video covers:

1) Problem: Permanent bar under INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i)

2) Solution: Form I601 waiver under INA 212(i)

3) Outcome: Waiver approval and Immigrant Visa grant after further delay due to 221(g) administrative processing and 212(f) Presidential Proclamation suspending entries from certain countries

The couple remained committed to one another despite their separate residences and longdistance relationship. Our client finally became a permanent resident after she was initially refused the visa under INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i).
