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 !
