My wife committed visa fraud when entering the country (before I knew her or married her).

We now have 2 children.

Do you have any advice for preparing for a case of proving extreme hardship?

Are there any guidelines?

Jack

Dear Jack:

Based on the facts you have presented, she probably can qualify for a fraud waiver. This type of case involves a great deal of preparation and knowledge as to the types of documents and proof that Immigration is looking for. For that reason, we suggest you speak with an immigration law attorney who has experience in handling these types of cases.

An example of some of the types of documents that Immigration is looking for can be found on our Hints and Tips page under Cancellation of Removal. While yours is not a cancellation case, many of the documents are similar, so you can use these as a starting point. Good luck.
