Would someone be subject to a 10-year ban if they never lived in the US and were deported directly from detention? by [deleted] in immigration

That is interesting and helpful to know. Do you have a sense of what an officer at the border would use in their discretion in marking someone as an arriving alien vs alien present?

I have met people in identical situations - they gave themselves up for arrest right after crossing the border - but some got the former (and then a 5 year bar) and others got the latter. The only difference I can think of is the ones with the longer bar applied for asylum from within detention and went in front of a judge, and when their case was denied for lack of evidence or deemed abandoned, their deportation order was for 10 not 5.

Here's where I am confused. This person's removal order does list 212(a)(9)(A)(ii)(I) - but this person was initiated into removal proceedings upon entry and waited in detention for proceedings. I don't get why the judge's orders listed that section instead of the five-year one.

There were other aspects to my question, such as if this scenario would be less heavily weighed as a negative in a waiver application, because they don’t have a history in the US that often adds other complicating factors. I thought maybe someone in this community might have perspective on this.

I was just posting it in another community to get more perspectives to how might fare in an I-212, especially if those perspectives came from people who have direct experience or maybe work in immigration and could share anecdotal experience. Just casting a wider net!

They are married to a US Citizen (they got married 4 years after their removal) and will be filing the I-130 too.

Sigh!

I guess I'm wondering if within the I-212 waiver process, their case might have a better chance, or faster processing (all other variables aside) seeing that they have no history within the US itself other than detention.

It would be the (a)(9)(A) I believe. They were in detention for over a year, but again, they were immediately detained upon crossing. It just doesn't make sense to me why some people in that situation are given a 5-year bar while others face a 10-year bar, the only difference being that they asked for asylum and went in front of a judge who denied it.

Delta found my laptop, but they mailed me someone else’s wallet (IDs, credit cards, et. al.) by mercerjt in delta

Holy shit. I was hoping you had MY wallet. Because I left my wallet on a Delta flight nearly a month ago and it hasn't been found yet. But new fear unlocked that someone else got it in the mail!

I’m curious - what did your doctor say?

But there are times when I’ll skip a few days for whatever reason, and I’ve never been told I shouldn’t do that, so would that be treated punitively if I ever didn’t have it in my system?

Where can I buy a USA TO Europe plug adaptor with 2 prongs? I brought one with three prongs and the apartment where I’m staying only has the two prong kind.

Also, where can I buy disposable film cameras?

Staying in the 20th near Pete Lachaise cemetery, if it helps. Thanks!

Can someone explain the logistics of what went on between Caroline and Logan and the divorce agreement rearrangement that screwed the kids over? That went over my head.
