Navigating the immigrant visa process can often become a frustrating labyrinth
leading nowhere.
The process may be further complicated when the applicant, rightly or
erroneously, is found to be inadmissible to the United States. Legal representation
by experienced immigration law attorneys versed in consular processing
and the preparation of inadmissibly waiver applications is critical to
successful visa issuance.
Attorneys David F. Vedder and Silvia Manzanero recently obtained approval
of an inadmissibility waiver and secured an immigrant visa for a Chinese
national who, after a year of failed attempts to obtain an immigrant visa,
is finally able to immigrate to the United States with her U.S. citizen
husband, a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, and the couple’s six
year old U.S. citizen child.
Vedder and Manzanero challenged an initial determination by a U.S. Embassy
in China that their client was inadmissible, and accordingly, the need
for an inadmissibility waiver. Manzanero prepared a compelling response
to a request for evidence to an I-601 waiver application filed by the
client pro se which clearly demonstrated the extreme hardships that the
client’s U.S. citizen spouse – and their minor child - has
suffered as a result of his spouse not being able to immigrate to the
United States .
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services swiftly and unequivocally approved
the inadmissibility waiver in record time, clearing the way for Vedder’s
and Manzanero’s client to obtain approval of her immigrant visa.
The fact that the client was erroneously found inadmissible was mooted
by the waiver grant.
