My hudband went for his interview yesterday. The interview went overall very well, and the agent told my husband that she recognise the genuiness of our relationship and had no problem approving our application except for maybe one thing.
My husband tried to enter the USA illegally 5 years ago and was actually caught doing so, therefor his FBI record came back with mention of this event. On it, it says he was removed and he had made a false claim to citizenship. From the begginig our lawyer has been admant on sayin that this is not a criminal charge and that therfore he is not inadmissable. In our submission we never tried to hide any of this and in the lawyer's introduction letter all of this was exposed and she had stressed that this was not something that should make him inadmissable as those were not criminal charges but immigratory ones.
Now back to yesterday, the officer basically told him that she would need to check if it is or not and consult with her supperior before making a decision. Basically if he is admissable then we can assume he will be approved, otherwise he would need to wait an other 5 years since it had been already 5 so that 10 years had past for him to be admissable again.
I just wanted to see if anyone had ever been in this situation and what the out come was. I trust my lawyer is correct in her assesment of it all but realise she could be wrong
