Hello,
I am on State parole / probation. I spoke with my parole/probation officer a few times. He denied my travel permit request to travel to meet my fiancee in order to satisfy an in-person meeting within past 2 years requirement. My fiancee even tried to apply for a tourist visa to meet me to satisfy the requirement. She explained to the consular why I cant come to meet her and that I am on parole/probation. Her tourist visa application was denied last August. There are two options I can think - I have to wait until my parole expires in 2005 which I do not think I want to wait longer. The second option is that I need to explain to USCIS on the I-129 form why my waiver request should be granted. I am prevented from leaving the US legally even though I have a US passport (I prefer to follow and obey the parole rules) and my fiancee's tourist visa request was denied.
My question is - Has USCIS ever granted the wavier request to the parolee petitioners in that same situation? A couple of immigration lawyers said they believe the waiver request will possibly be granted. Other 13 lawyers said it wont happen but they have never tried it before. How can they say it wont happen when they have not tried it?
I want to hear from you directly if you have similar experience or you have heard of another parole/probation petitioner receiving disapproval or approval. I am serious about loving my fiancee and marrying her with all my heart. My parole/probation status really hurt!
Thanks for reading.
