Can I apply for non inmigrant visa after I stayed illegaly in the US?

If you were illegally in the US for more than one year after turning 18 years old then you are inadmissible to the U.S. However, you may be eligible for a waiver of inadmissibility. You can apply for this after your visitor visa is denied.

How long does it take to hear from NBC?

Answered by attorney Lana Vladimirovna Kurilova Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Lana Kurilova Rich PLLC
It is NVC - National Visa Center. The NVC makes sure that all relevant documentation has been submitted, including financial support documents. Once NVC completes the file, NVC sends it to the US Embassy nearest to you. The Embassy then takes over the processing, and you are notified when you should prepare your police clearances and medical exam. Your final step will be the interview with the Embassy. I do not believe that your husband can really expedite anything. He can call NVC and inquire as to the status of your case and notate that he is a member of the US military and would like to see his wife asap, but that may not get him anywhere; there is no formal official process to expedite this type of a filing.

How can I fix my husband's status after he has been deported two years ago?

Answered by attorney Marie Andree Michaud (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Marie Michaud, Attorney At Law
The first step is to file the fiance petition. Need to show you physically met during the last two years, and that you are an American citizen. Also need to show that you are legally able to get married (i.e. no pending divorces for example). This takes about 6 months to get a decision. Once the petition is approved, the Adjudicating center will forward the file to the National Visa Center (NVC) to make sure the chosen consulate is correct. (In this case, your fianc would proceed through Ciudad Juarez). The NVC will them forward the file to the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez. The consulate will schedule an interview. At the interview, the official will decide the ineligibility grounds (criminal history, unlawful presence, how did he comes to the attention of the authority, any document fraud, etc) and whether your fianc is eligible for a waiver. (This depends: Was he ever illegally present in the US for more than 180 days after his 18th birthday? Was he in the US from age 1 to whatever age he was until his voluntary departure without ever leaving the US in between? If your fianc is eligible for a waiver, he will be permitted to schedule another interview to submit a waiver application. The waiver could be decided within 2 weeks to 18 months. Best to consult with an attorney before to make sure he qualifies to apply for the waiver.
