We were told my fiance will have to leave back to Mexico.....

[RedZ]

What is the name of your state? California


We went for a free consultation yesterday and the lawyer told us that she will have to go back to Mexico for 3-4 months to wait on the consulate to approve her re-entrance or pardon.


Here is the situation:

My fiance went to Mexico to visit family in 1999 and upon re-entrance, had her Visa taken away from her.


Now she is he illegally and the lawyer said that the only way she can become a resident here is to go back to her home country....


My questions:

Is there anyone around this or anything we can do so she doesn't have to leave the country? (We are getting married this next Saturday)


If she does go back to her country, whats the realistic time that she will have to stay there?

Please, any help, any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

How did she re-enter if her visa was taken away?
The only possible reason a lawyer (or anyone) would tell you that she MUST leave the country is if she Entered Without Inspection and snuck across the border. If that's what she did, she CAN NOT adjust status and MUST leave the US. Visit the I-601 Forum at www. immigrate2us.net for info on this process.

If she was legally admitted and overstayed, she MAY be eligible for adjustment. If you have questions about this lawyer's advice, call and ask for more detail until you do understand it. If it still doesn't make sense, talk to another lawyer. None of this will affect your marriage date, so go ahead with that. But make sure that before she goes anywhere or you file anything that you are double-damn certain what's going on and what the process will be.

Even lawyers make mistakes. If yours makes one, YOU will be paying the price, not the lawyer.

Thanks a lot for the help. She did come here illegally, so it looks like she will have to go back TO Mexico. Wow, this sucks but if it is the only way then it is the only way. It was a really stupid and costly mistake.

She did come here illegally

MY RESPONSE: Gee, really? Now, how did we know that?

so it looks like she will have to go back TO Mexico.

MY RESPONSE: Ah, too bad.


Wow, this sucks but if it is the only way then it is the only way.

MY RESPONSE: The light bulb comes on!! "Mr. Brightness" finally sees what he always knew!




It was a really stupid and costly mistake.

MY RESPONSE: Yeah, and you're marrying her.

Lol

No ones liable

You must have an understanding of life that far surpasses mine. You display yourself with such courtesy, compassion, and professionalism. I'm sure your personal life reflects your personality. Futhermore, maybe one day you can understand LOVE and understand that sometimes many factors have no impact on decisions that we plan to make. My advice to you, stop giving advice on this forum

 

[rmet4nzkx]

Well since you already consulted an attorney and they gave you legal advice.
Then you came here and gave us less information and somehow expected different advice.
Other posters have asked you for more information in case you failed to give it prior to now, in case there might be some different advise.
Now because you don't like the advice you have received from attorneys who have some reason to know and you haven't provided any other information, What do you expect.
You fiancee has to return to Mexico, they are not here legally.
Threatening to beat up senior members here is not an appropriate response because you are frustrated. It would appear that your finacee is safer back in Mexico anyway. What is the matter that you can't find an American woman to control and threaten?

Thank you.

Her "waiting" time in Mexico will most likely be a lot longer than 3-4 months, so don't be surprised if it takes at least a year.
Her going back to Mexico is her only chance of a possible legal life in the US, but she will have to wait some time and have to prove hardship if she doesn't get to live in the US. Then you both will have to keep your fingers crossed. Good luck

Don't get sidetracked by this other blah blah. Go to the forum I linked already and you'll see that Mexico is the easiest place in the world to get this handled. You do not have to be separated the entire time; I believe you can marry & file the I-130 stateside and once you get the notice of its approval, then she returns to wait for her interview/denial + filing the I-601. You are going to have to put some difficult personal work into that waiver, so get studying!
Many USCs find a way to live close to the border or spend some time abroad with their spouse during the waiver process, but be careful that you don't go at cross-purposes to the hardship letter you provide.
