IFacts事实

The client, married to an elderly U.S. citizen, applied for a green card through her husband. At her 2025 interview USCIS approved the marriage petition, but the next day it issued a notice of intent to deny her application: years earlier, her visa application had listed her as married when she was already divorced. USCIS treated that as a willful misrepresentation that makes a person permanently inadmissible unless the government grants a waiver. The firm also found that her alien registration number appeared in the immigration court system under another person's name, a man with a removal order.当事人与一位年长的美国公民结婚,并通过丈夫申请绿卡。2025年面谈时,移民局批准了婚姻申请,但次日即发出拟拒绝通知:多年前她的签证申请表在其已离婚时仍填写为已婚。移民局认定这属于故意虚假陈述,除非获得豁免,将终身不可入境。本所同时发现,她的外国人登记号在移民法庭系统中显示为另一名已被下令遣返的男子。

IIFilings, Hearings and Decisions程序经过

Notice of intent to deny (March 5, 2025). USCIS found her inadmissible under INA § 212(a)(6)(C)(i) and invited a waiver application.拟拒绝通知(2025年3月5日)。移民局依INA第212(a)(6)(C)(i)条认定其不可入境,并告知可申请豁免。

Response and waiver (March 2025). Within the deadline the firm answered the notice, explained the error, and filed a waiver of inadmissibility under INA § 212(i), based on extreme hardship to her U.S. citizen husband.回复及豁免申请(2025年3月)。本所在期限内回复通知,解释该错误,并以美国公民丈夫将遭受极端困难为由,依INA第212(i)条提出不可入境豁免申请。

Denials (May 12, 2025). USCIS denied the waiver for lack of corroborated extreme hardship, and denied the green card application because she remained inadmissible. A related travel-document application was later denied for the same reason.拒绝决定(2025年5月12日)。移民局以极端困难缺乏佐证为由拒绝豁免,并因其仍属不可入境而拒绝绿卡申请。相关旅行证件申请随后亦以同一理由被拒。

Appeals and motion (June to August 2025). With new medical and psychological evidence, the firm appealed the waiver denial to the Administrative Appeals Office. It also appealed the green card denial; the AAO rejected that appeal on August 8, 2025 because it has no jurisdiction over such denials, so the firm moved to reopen the green card application before USCIS, raising the duplicate A-number as a record-integrity issue. That motion was first returned for filing at the wrong office, refiled, and received on August 27, 2025; no decision has issued.上诉及动议(2025年6月至8月)。本所补充医疗及心理证据,就豁免拒绝向行政上诉办公室上诉。本所亦就绿卡拒绝提出上诉;行政上诉办公室于2025年8月8日以无管辖权为由退回,本所随即向移民局申请重开绿卡申请,并将外国人登记号重复问题作为记录完整性问题提出。该动议首次因递交地点错误被退回,重新递交后于2025年8月27日被接收,至今未有决定。

AAO dismissal (November 5, 2025). The AAO dismissed the waiver appeal. The record did not say whether the husband would stay in the United States or relocate, so hardship had to be shown both ways, and it did not explain why other relatives could not care for him.行政上诉办公室驳回(2025年11月5日)。行政上诉办公室驳回豁免上诉,理由是记录未说明丈夫将留在美国还是随同迁居,因而须就两种情形证明困难,且未解释其他亲属为何无法照顾他。

Motion to reopen (December 2025) and two supplements. When the husband's health worsened seriously, the firm moved to reopen with a detailed declaration that answered each gap the AAO had identified, and supplemented the motion twice, in December 2025 and February 2026, as the medical picture was confirmed.重开动议(2025年12月)及两次补充。丈夫健康严重恶化后,本所以详细声明逐项回应行政上诉办公室指出的缺漏,提出重开动议,并在病情确诊过程中于2025年12月及2026年2月两次补充证据。

AAO decision (June 5, 2026). The AAO granted the motion to reopen, found the new evidence consistent with the earlier claims and showing that the husband could not rely on other relatives, and remanded the waiver to USCIS for a new decision on extreme hardship and, if reached, discretion.行政上诉办公室决定(2026年6月5日)。行政上诉办公室批准重开动议,认定新证据与此前主张一致,并显示丈夫无法依靠其他亲属,遂将豁免申请发回移民局,就极端困难及(如需)裁量问题重新作出决定。
