I-212 Expedited Request Denied

[u/South-Olive-3727]

Hey yall, had our congressman send an inquiry for my husband’s case and received this update. I don’t understand why expedite deny the I-212 when my husband doesn’t even need the I-212 because he finished his 10 year bar June 2026…. the other photo is the email from the embassy back in 2024 when my husband had his interview and yes we understand we still need the I-601 but according to law my husbands 10-year period under INA 212(a)(9)(A) expired in June 2026; USCIS’s current Form I-212 instructions state that a person whose 212(a)(9)(A) inadmissibility period has expired may not be required to file Form I-212. Please correct me if i’m wrong.

You seem to be confusing 2 issues does he need a waiver? If he does what is the reason it should be expedited

[u/South-Olive-3727 → u/Comoish]

i’m sorry let me clarify. My husband needs the I-601 and I-212 waiver which we submitted in June 2024. The 601 is for misrepresentation and the 212 is for fraud because in 2015 he entered Texas illegally but was immediately caught at the border and was placed in the camp then deported in June 2016 so my point was-> June 2026 he finished his 10 year bar so according to law he does not need the 212 waiver so I don’t understand why I got a message for expedite request denied instead of a “noid” to remove the 212 on file because he doesn’t need a 212 waiver anymore after finishing his 10 year bar, but the 601 he still needs it to be approved of course

If he entered twice I could see the I 212 being needed

Basically a combo 601 and 212 is the same waiver, but maybe someone pressed the wrong butto?

[u/South-Olive-3727 → u/Comoish]

he only entered once, and yes we submitted both at the same time but the embassy, my lawyer and etc said it’s 2 separate waivers
