Hi there, I returned to the UK on 29th Dec I was actually deported. One officer told me I can apply for my visa when I return and apply to have my ban waivered. How do I go about this?

you can apply, but no one in their right mind would (a) give you a visa and (b) grant a waiver.....a dirtbag by any other name is still a dirtbag.

AnneMarie,
I am sorry, what exactly happened? why were you deported? because of what?

just ignore that persons remarks of "someone12"
he is a little menatlly challenged.

but I can spell.....

Hi there HBKHBK,
I came to the US on the visa waiver program in May 05, I know staying over my time was wrong I hold my hands up to that. Anyway, I was deported because I was reported, I was in Sacramento County Jail from 13th-29th Dec 06 waiting for my departure, I have commited no criminal offence, was never arrested and treat diplorably some people like 'someone12' will think thats just deserves. I miss my partner so much, I miss our home, I miss everything I loved living in the US legal or not. I have nothing here in the UK and it's a very lonely place to be.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your partner is a US citizen? Are you married?

I would try to come back to the US as a tourist and see what happens,once you're here u guys should get married.
Fiance Visa would take ay to long for you to,it can take over a year till you actually get your visa and it cost tonz of money and hasel.

I am sorry though for happened to you, and its a F'N shame...that they actually put you in a jail but every f'n illegal who is here illegal from mexico and running around with the mexican flag in CA and protesting etc,aren't even being arrested not to mention deported etc etc,or even jailed.
Something is wrong with this messed up system here,they jailed you cause u overstayed your visa? what a shame...

Hi again,
When/if I'm allowed to come back (if the waiver on my ban is approved can't apply for 90 days) I was planning on coming back on the visa which allows indefinate stay or the tourist visa which allows you to work.
I agree with you on that the jail time was harsh but at the end of the day I did overstay I hold my hands up to that, but I agree that it's a screwed up situation when there's many an illegal mexican running around

Please tell me what makes a British ILLEGAL alien (you) better than a Mexican one.

B/c you were hiding.

Mexicans fighting for the OP's rights as well! Let them do the dirty work, which is fine by me so I can become legal, although I've always considered them scum anyway. And how come they're not hiding?

Perfect setting for you to torture yourself by asking "why did I overstay?" "What made me think I would never get caught?"

Was this in your mind when you said "I'm breaking the law, to hell with it."

Neither one exists, but you know that anyway.

No you're wrong I never hid. I don't think I'm any better than a Mexican, all I mean't was where I was there was an awful lot of them. I know who reported me and why I also knew Immigration was coming for me, DID I RUN NO I DIDN'T. But believe you me come hell or high water I will be back.
No I didn't know the visas I mentioned didn't exist, what I do know is there are visas similar to my description.
I'm not a bad person or a person who thinks they are above themselves I just want to be happy and spend the rest of my life with the person I love. What's so wrong in that.

So what were you reported for and why?

So you always kept the USCIS informed of your whereabouts?

Look lady, you were jailed AND deported, which translates as "NEVER to set foot on US soil again" in dumbalese.

Santa Claus: exists or doesn't exist?

A criminal perhaps?

If you knew that they were coming for you, why didn't you just leave, that way you wouldn't have been in jail all that time waiting to be deported. That must have been a terrible experience, especially during the holiday.

Not necessarily. It could be after the fact.

Depending on which visa you want to re-enter would depend on which waiver form to file. It appears you want to come to stay as an immigrant, which means a I-601 would be filed at the US embassy in the UK with the visa petition is also filed. And because of the ban, it would be recommended for an attorney to give you and your partner the best possible chance

Best possible chance? There isn't any!

You have a 10 year ban. And even after that your chance of a tourist visa are limited.

The only way you would be able to get back into the US would be to go as a Fiancee or a Spouse, it will as has been said require a waiver.

London has a good success rate for waivers.

Say 15 months for the paperwork.

Much much easier for him to go to the UK.
