Visa cancelled at POE (I-275), Now What ???

Hello,

I used to live in the USA for about 6 years ( 5 of which illegally ). Then I got permanent residency in Canada where I live for the past 1.5 years. Couple of weeks ago my B1/B2 visa was cancelled at the border ,I-275 executed and also I-877 (Record of sworn statement) completed. To cancel my visa they must have charged me with something, the problem is that nobody told me what are the charges and the consequences. The officer once mentioned something that I MIGHT be inadmissible for 5 years but then he said that I can go and apply for another visa right away.
How can I find out what were the charges and if I am subject to a 5 year bar or some other restrictions ?

A week later my wife had the same problem ( we were expecting it since her name came up when they were cancelling my visa ). But she was told that she is being charged with misrepresentation and unlawful overstay - 6(c) and 7(a). We were wondering what these numbers meant but after some research I decided that they are from section 212. They also told her that she in permanently inadmissible to the US and if she wants to enter the country she needs to file some kind of waiver, but nobody explained what waiver is it. Is this the I-601 waiver or there is another one that needs to be submitted ?

If anybody has been through that or knows what we need to do, the help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!

Thank You In Advance !
 
A 5-year inadmissibility indicates that there probably were removal proceedings that you didn't show up for. INA 212(a)(6)(B).
However, since you overstayed for over 1 year, you'd be banned for 10 years, anyway.
I know it doesn't make much sense, that is exactly why I don't know what was I charged with and I would like to find out but I don't know how.
About the misrepresentation, there are 2 waivers that I read about, I am not sure what is the difference - the I-601 and I-192. My wife called the border today and they told her it is the I-192 but when we read it, it doesn't seam to be the right one. If you know what the difference is and which will be the one we need, please advise us.

Thank you for the help ! Really appreciate it !
 
It looks like they gave me only the last page of the I-275 ( the one that says that I am withdrawing my visa application and has my signature ) and this page has nothing about the charges, it is half empty. So I found in another forum that there is a form G-639 which requests the full file as they have it, this way I will know what exactly I was charged with.

It looks like we will need the help of a good lawyer, I will probably look for one in the states because I was told that it is very hard to find a good one here in Canada, when it comes to US immigration.
Thanks for the quick responses.
 
Thanks a lot JoeF that is really usefull info for me. It looks like I will need one just like him.
Thanks again !!!
