My husband entered the US falsely claiming to be a citizen. He was caught and not allowed to enter. He was issued a ban order. He has a 13 year old child who was born in the US. Does he have any chance at getting some kind of residency or work permit?
If your husband falsely claimed to be a U. S. citizen on or after September 30, 1996, he is permanently barred from immigrating to the U. S. He may be eligible for a nonimmigrant visa waiver with the factors to be considered the nature and date of the offense, rehabilitation of character, and the necessity for, or the urgency of his proposed trip to the United States.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
