Spring Hill, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Your father will have to explain as best he can the circumstances of why he could not prove his employment when the subject arises. If he has some other evidence, he can perhaps bring it with him to the immigration interview and show it if asked. It should be noted that if there was fraud or misrepresentation found in the annulment of your father’s visa by a US consular officer, your status as a US citizen son is not sufficient for him to apply for a waiver through you. An I-601 hardship waiver under those circumstances can only be made if the qualifying member is a US citizen or permanent resident parent or spouse. The passage of time may work in his favor as it is doubtful that consular records would be kept for 35 years.
