Q: Family at O’Hare on F4 I-864 Immigration Found Inadmissible

I have family at O’Hare that is currently being detained. They were declared inadmissible because they were missing a “wavier” in which CBP did not state which waiver. Is there anyway to help them get into the country before they are “deported” back to their home country of Germany?

A: If they were declared inadmissible and summarily excluded, then it will be extremely difficult to undo the damage before the order is executed.

If they are allegedly inadmissible, then only diplomacy by negotiation can undo the determination if a mistake was made. The costs and speed in which the mandamus must be filed creates challenges where they can live elsewhere.

I strongly recommend a teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney attorney, like myself, as soon as possible. It is unclear whether there was an oversight or mistaken identification made. Good luck!
