Hi all,
Posting in behalf of a friend, will try be as brief and succinct as possible.
- Citizen of Ecuador, obtained green card many years ago for USA, lived there for roughly 10 years.
- Left of her own free will, but was later convicted for a number of drug-related crimes in Ecuador. She did some jail time too of around a year. Unfortunately she was mixed up in her husbands actions, a passenger to an extent. Upon being arrested, interpol confiscated all green cards etc.
- This was almost 15 years ago (maybe more I'm trying to obtain records now).
She is sick and needs specialty care/treatment in the USA . Have done extensive research into the methods of visa application and later applying for waiver, but I wanted to know what the situation would be regarding her green card status? It was confiscated in Ecuador, not USA, but of course her previous convictions will deem her inadmissible.
What is the best course of action, attempt to reinstate her resident status by means of waivers, or apply for the B2 medical tourist visa and try and get a waiver when the inadmissible condition undoubtedly appears.
Thank you for any advice.
Marko
