Hi, if you have read my other case, you know that I am one for complicated stuff.

I need to know how I can get my wife's case appealed. She was falsely accused of living in the US and then being deported in 2003. I have been married to her since 2002 and we have lived in Mexico since then.

Her case is as follows:
In 1998, she did not appear for an immigration hearing. She used her boarder crossing card to move to Dallas with the father of her children (he is a USC), but his family turned her in and told her that her kids would be taken away from her if she did not just leave the country, so she got scared and left.
The judge ordered her removed by absentia.

She continued using her boarder crossing card with out any problems.
We married in 2002 and an immigration officer at the boarder told us that my stepdaughters could also get a boarder crossing card. When we went to the Consulate, she had her boarder crossing card taken and was told that no one in the family was allowed to have one.

I applied for an appointment in CDJ, and received one in 2005. At the appointment, the officer said, well it looks like everything is good, but you were living in the US and were deported in 2003. She passed out and we were in complete disbelief.

I contacted my senator's office for help. USCIS responded:
"she was formally refused under ..... 212 (a)(9)(C)(ii) and under.... 212(a)(9)(A)(ii)" and "On August 23, 2003, after unsuccessful and repeated attempts to obtain a humanitarian permit through DHS to enter the United States and after having had her DSP-150 ("laser" visa) lifted, -------- reentered the United States without inspection. This reentery without inspection in 2003 following the deportation of 1998 explains the ineligibility finding of ten years following the last time alien left the United States."

We have affidavits from many people saying that she was not here in the US, even from a lawyer who helped us obtain custody of her daughters from their father. We have no idea where how USCIS came up with this. You would think that there would have been some kind of hearing or at least a notice to appear.

They had a very hard time getting her fingerprints. We think that this may have caused a mismatch in the computer. But we also know that there are some family members who would have done to her.

What can we do? How do we request the evidence that was presented against her? If it was the fingerprint, then how can we prove that it was a mis-match?

I'm so sorry for your situation though I have absolutely no idea how to help. Maybe join Laurel Scott's weekly chat and present your question there.

well Laura said that we have no recourse. I'm not sure she is correct because she says that we can fight my step daughter's removal date. She said that we could do something about it if it were a matter of law, but we can't because it's a matter of fact. But my stepdaughter's removal is a matter of fact case to, so....

If anyone has any ideas, let me know, I'm a fighter so I'll keep trying what ever I can.

Lopay - don't confuse the attorney, LauREL Scott, with myself, I'm just a regular forum person.

Anyway... I saw your posts on the chat, and I think it was just too complex for that sort of communication. I mean, I have a hard time understanding the whole situation reading it over and over. Have you consulted with an attorney yet? I know Laurel is full, but I think some people also suggested Heather Poole...

sorry for the misspell. I am horrible with spelling and if it's a name then.....

I haven't talked with an attorney yet. I am waiting to see what the POE comes back and says. If they change it on their own, I will not need an lawyer for my stepdaugher because she will get an expedited case due to service error.

If they don't change it, I can't see that it would be worth it to get an attorney. The reason is time. Even if the attorney were to be able to help me, the few months that they might speed up the case are not worth what they would charge me. I expect to find out the POE's answer in early Jan. After that it would take me a least a month to get my case in with a good lawyer if not longer. The lawyer would then have to make their inquiries and so forth, that would take at least 6 weeks before any responses could be expected. After that he would have to send in the appeals or what ever he would do, and would take who knows how long. So if I were really really lucky, I might could have an answer by May or June. Then I would have to wait for another appointment. Even if it were to be expiated, I really don't think it would be that much before Oct. I am going to go ahead and apply for another appointment. If I get one by chance before next Oct, I would have to ask for another. If the POE comes back and changes her removal date, my other appointment will not matter.

I really do try to make it as simple as I can, but then again it took me a few months and hundreds of hours of researching to figure everything out. I guess it so complicated because it involves many government errors. I'm not sure there is any hope for my wife, but I'll keep trying.

After we get my stepdaughter taken care of, I will talk to some attorney's to see what they think. I don't want to talk with them until I have the facts from her reentry without inspection.
