Denied a Visa? Petition for Family

Yes, you can still file Form I-130 despite a past visa denial. Here's what to consider:

  • Reason for Denial: USCIS may consider why your visa was denied (criminal history etc.). Be transparent and address any concerns.

  • Prove Relationship: Gather strong evidence like birth certificates or marriage certificates to prove your family tie.

  • Waiver Options: In some cases, waivers might be available to overcome inadmissibility.

  • Consult an Attorney: An immigration attorney can guide you based on your situation and explore your options.

Remember: A past denial creates challenges, but doesn't stop you from petitioning for your family member. Follow USCIS instructions carefully and provide accurate information.
