I-94W Fraud? i-485 denial.

MK14

Registered Users (C)
Here is a brief summary of the case first:

1) i-485 filled in 2001, employment based.

2) Working on EAD, until after i-485 denied in 2006 (Reason Fraud)

3) i-290b Motion to Reconsider filled 2006

4) June 2008 i-290B Denied

5) i-862 received, "Notice to appear", fingerprinting notice.

Here is what the USCIS is saying, Reason for denial:

Question "F" on the 1-94W asks if the applicant has ever been denied entry into the U.S. The record shows that the applicant answered "no" to this question, therefore misrepresenting a material fact to gain admission to the United States.

Section 2l2(a)(6)(C)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, provide in pertinent part:

(C) Misrepresentation.
(i) In general. Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material
fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit under this act, is inadmissible

Also:

§2l2(a)(6)(A) the section of law dealing with aliens present in the U.S. without being admitted or paroled and the accumulation of unlawful presence. This section of law is cited as the applicant; during sworn testimony stated that he entered the United States without inspection on September 9, 1995.


Here is the story of what happened: to my father

He overstayed during a visit to the U.S April 1995, then came back to JFK in August 1995 but was refused entry due to overstay and violation of the visa waiver program.
He did not know he had to apply at the Embassy at home to get special visa to enter again.
He also tried to enter the USA for the 2nd time from the Canadian border in August 1995 once again was refused.

Finally he entered without inspection and crossed the border.

He has been in the USA since 1995, he does not recall filling out the i-94w at the Canadian border nor does he read good english if he did fill it out. He would not know what the questions asked.

We have requested a FOIA last year and are in the process of updating to TRACK 3 to get any copies of the i-94w.

According the the USCIS, they state he answered "NO" to question F. He that is a true fact and they have copies, then is there a chance for him to adjust status, does he have a fighting chance in court?:confused:

Congratulations! Just read your case and I wondered why you would be penalized for the status of your father in a 485 application.
Congratulations again!
 
approval

Yes the case was my fathers, I dont know what happened. But I am glad that someone at Vermont service center reviewed the case again after the i-20b denial and re-opened and approved it. We were just preparing to go to court too!

I guess they must have reviews of denials again at Vermont or something must have trigered it.
.The only issue now is that I did not recieve a approval letter, only father and mom.

My attorney stated that I have aged out, I was tunring 21 but application was sent before the date.

I dont think it matters now becuase I am married and my wife is a citizen. We had an interview last week and during the interview they came up in their database that I used another social in the past???? I checked with social sec dept and they only have my valid one and no other. I have no idea where this is coming from.

The USCIS said they will investigate and get back to me, they stated that the other social they came up with belongs to someone else. So at the moment im waiting for them and they cannot adjust my status.

Anyone have any ideas?
