    Default Reentry to U.S. After Being Caught With a Fake SSN

    Hello,

    I was deported from Chicago airport last October. I have been in US for 6 months and tried to get in there again after two months being at home.
    At the airport, they took me for an interview and asked for purpose of coming back. Said I want to travel around US. Obviously I didn't sound very convincing so immigration officer searched my purse and she found in my callendar times of interviews with the families ( yes, I worked as a babysitter illegally ), she also found my fake SSN, which actually looks crap, never used it, but for some stupid reason I still had that in my wallet!!

    Now, she said I have to confess that I was working illegally and sign it up, so I can go back home with the first plane and they wont get me to the court for fraud ( fake SSN ). So I did what she said, came back home and now I want to go back to the States.

    I don't even know for how long is the ban - 5 or 10 years??

    I have my visa cancelled per 22CFR41.122

    Can I come back as a student or for a work visa??
    Me and my boyfirend ( who is US Citizen ) are even thinking of marriage.

    Please, does anybody know if there is any hope for me to go back to US?
    Thank you.

    Not any time soon. Your ban is - I believe - five years. It's unlikely that you'll be admitted before the ban expires under any circumstances.

    After the ban expires, you'd do well to consult with an immigration attorney prior to attempting re-entry. The USCIS takes a very dim view of false documents and working without authorization.

    Well, but what do they think all the people who overstay do?? Most of them are working though

    Anyway, thank you for your information. But after 5 years, do I need any I-212 waiver form? I have read somewhere about i-601 form - what is that for?

    Or all I need to do is just apply for a visa in US Embassy??

    Thank you

    And when they get caught, they get deported and banned, as is right and proper. If you can't be bothered to obey the laws of this country, you don't deserve to be here.

    After 5 years, you need to speak to an attorney.

    By the way, if you have ever used that false SSN number to tell ANYONE that you are a citizen when you are not, you will, most likely, be banned forever.

    This is quite nationalistic to say that.
    True, I agree, but how about american employers who exacltly know they hire illegal person??

    My American boyfriend came to EU for about 6 weeks to visit me and he tried to get a job here and nobody will offer him any fixter!! I am just saying that here, in Ireland it is really hard to get any kind of job without a work permit, not even as a cleaner or babysitter, seriously
    So there is no problem with illegal workers from around the world, because no employer would hire them - very simple.

    I know I broke the law first time, it didn't hurt anybody but, still.

    No, I have never used it.

    Immigration laws are "nationalistic" by nature.

    The CFR provision you reference refers to revocation of a visa.

    You haven't given us enough information to determine whether you are subject to a period of ineligibility due to this incident or for the unlawful work you performed, but you can expect that the events will now come up whenever you apply for a visa or a BCP officer runs your name in their computer system, so even if there's no ineligibility involved it could cause problems with future visa applications or reentry.

    Is there a notation in your passport, to a section of the "INA"?

    I know. You are totally right

    Well, I told the Immigration Officer the truth that I was working occasionally as a babysitter to get some money for travelling around the US. I told them how did I get my fake SSN and that I didn't use it at all. And I signed up the statement that I am leaving US volunteery and this is it.
    They were actually laughing at my SSN because it didnt look as SSN at all.
    They were actually kinda nice. IO just stapled this 'piece of paper' to my case and that's it.

    All I have in my passport is:
    Cancelled per 22CFR41.122

    And A#89274410
    Application Withdrawn
    i-275 executed
    subject to deport
    foreign via airline
    on blah blah at certain time
    custody of airline.

    That is all.

    If you have ever been a victum of identity theft (someone using your SSN), you would understand why those of us who have had to deal with the resulting issues are not at all sympathetic to your plight. I would ban you forever after you did jail time if it were up to me.

    I know I shouldn't have done it!! Well, I have never used that SSN, seriously.
    Well, about me working illegaly in US, I know it wasn't the right thing to do and I shouldn't have done it.
    To be honest with you, I wouldn't even bother returning... only because of my boyfriend. Now, he came over and stayed here for about two months. Wanted to get a job, but again.. he needs a 'stamp 4' in his passport, basicly its very hard to get it here in EU too...
    Anyway, we wants to be together, it doesn't really matter where. The point is, he has already great job, his family and friends live there. I really have nothing what keeps me here in Europe, so we thought moving to States would be a good idea.
    That's a pity, I have never thought about it before I started to work illegaly and got a fake ssn. And I truly regret what I have done.

    I am just looking for advice. I don't even know how to start? Where to find an attorney? I am completely lost!
