Hi everyone,

I am an American living in the UK with my British husband. I have citizenship here in the UK and have lived, worked, bought a home here in the UK over 6 years. We also have two children.

My husband was in a relationship with another american woman before we met and he overstayed his visa by 16 months while living in the USA. When he travelled back to the UK for his father's funeral he was stopped by immigration and got a 10 yr bar and could not enter back in to the USA.

That was nine years ago. He has since divorced his ex and we have been married for 6 years.

We want to travel to the states to see my family so that my family can meet our children whom they have never met I am desperate to travel home and it has been 6 years. We are also able to have this opporuntity because we were asked to take part in an American TV program about expats. So our flights are paid for, etc.

My question is.... Will my husband be able to get a waiver on his 10 year ban? He wasn't deported/kicked out .. he left the US on his own accord but he did overstay his visa.

What steps can we take? Any advice welcome.

Invite your relatives over to the UK or arrange a vacation in a third country such as a vacation destination in Europe.
 
More advice from a idiot, get another hobby there Praxx.

The correct information should have been to seek permission from the US Attorney General. Just like it tells you on the I-294 that informed you of the 10-year bar. Since the wife and children are USC's a NIV it will certainly be granted. The process ain't that hard.

LOL. Dafort, you remind me of Steve Wilkos....
 
What's scary is that while this is just my hobby it's your profession. Yet you make cretinous bloopers all the time here and don't have a disclaimer in your signature either.

Profession? No one is paying me for my opinions, I'm former INS. Should you catch me making a mistake, feel free to explain to me my error. If you feel the need to post a disclaimer, maybe you shouldn't post at all. Unless you attended some IOBTC training in the past, you might not know if my information is correct or not. Just because you don't agree, doesn't make me wrong.

Many of your posts sound like you are plain intoxicated, juvenile or trying to be funny so it's not really fair to point those out but there are some posts where you appear to be serious and sober such as here, a very short time ago:

You advised someone to leave the US and trigger a 10 year bar and forfeit the right to due process via appeal procedures when it's clear they are eligble for immediate relief.
