EnJR 39 Posted November 19, 2012 I could barely understand what you are saying but just the fact that you're in Mexico and not here in the US does not qualify you for Deferred Action Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner11 167 Posted November 19, 2012 Hi, I am not sure under what circumstances you are in Mexico. I would advice seeking the help of a competent lawyer because we are not qualified to answer these kinds of questions. As Enjr mentioned, one of the requirements for deferred action is for the individual to be present in the US at the time of applying. Best wishes and I hope you can fix your situation soon!

JoseG 383 Posted November 19, 2012 It sounds to me like you went back to Mexico to apply for a Visa, but of course you were denied because you have been living in the U.S. and you are now barred from entry for 3/10 years. If that is the case, that's the same thing that happened to the girl that went to Tijuana to try to get her visa and is now stuck over there. To be honest, I'm not sure if there is anything you can do about it. One of the requirements is to be present in the U.S. at the time of applying, and if you are stuck in Mexico, you won't be able to apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heffler21 0 Posted November 19, 2012 can you get a visa if denied papers bcause u need to serve punishment, but I am legaly a minor for immagration because adulthood for immigration is 21 so why was i denied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted November 19, 2012 What do you mean by papers? What were you trying to do down there in Mexico? For immigration, once you turn 18 you start to accrue unlawful presence, that is why they aren't letting you back in. How long is your punishment? 1 Brookness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
