The story seemed like something out of fiction: Our client married her current husband but the couple broke up, while never officially divorcing. Our client’s spouse then remarried and filed for visa at the consulate. He claimed that our client, his ex-wife, had died and presented a fake death certificate, in order to immigrate to the U.S. as spouse of a Diversity Visa lottery winner. U.S consulate uncovered the fraud and denied his visa application. Years later, our client and her ex-husband who claimed her death got back together. He is now remarried to his ‘deceased spouse,’ our client. She had since immigrated to the United States. She wanted our office to help reunite them in the United States.
Following several notes of caution, our office undertook the case. We encouraged the spouse to get her citizenship status first. We also let her know that it could be a long process because we anticipated that this case would require the most complex waiver application.
As we expected, the U.S. consulate determined that our client’s spouse was “inadmissible” having committed “fraud and misrepresentation” on the United Sates government. In order to waive the issue and allow our client to be reunited with her husband, we had to convince the USCIS that our U.S citizen client will suffer extreme hardship if the waiver was not approved, and she not allowed to reunite with her husband.
Following series of Requests for Evidence and Notice of Intent to Deny, our client’s waiver application was approved. And earlier this month, our client was reunited with her spouse and they came by the office to thank us for our effort in the case. All of us at PNCLO were overjoyed to see the happy couple together.
