Truth triggered NOID; I-602 waiver saved green card by proving no fraud.

If you are an asylee or derivative asylee who received a Notice of Intent to Deny on your I-485 based on a prior visa application, this case may be critical to your immigration strategy. Sabrina Li is certified by the State Bar of California as a Legal Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law – an honor held by less than 1% of attorneys. In today's video, we share a success story that shows how a Form I-602 waiver can overcome a misrepresentation finding and secure green card approval. Our client and his family fled religious persecution and found refuge in the United States. His wife was granted asylum as the principal applicant; he received protection through her as a derivative asylee. Years earlier, he had entered on a B-1/B-2 visa listing tourism – but the truth was he feared persecution and hoped to remain here safely. During his I-485 green card interview, he answered every question honestly. When asked why he had come, he told the truth: he had feared persecution and had not disclosed that on his visa application. USCIS treated that candor as misrepresentation and issued a Notice of Intent to Deny under INA §212(a)(6)(C)(i). The strategy that won: We filed a Form I-602 waiver, explaining the full context of his flight from persecution, his family's reliance on him, and the hardship a denial would cause. The waiver was built on the truth – the same truth that had almost cost him his green card. USCIS approved his green card within days. Key takeaway: A NOID is not a denial. Even a misrepresentation finding under INA §212(a)(6)(C)(i) can be overcome with the right waiver and a well-documented record.
