Family need to be reunited again and have permit to work and not have an financial issues! US citizens are the last in the line in this big immigration journey.

I cannot see how a person who has overstayed their visa like Mrs. B gets another visa through a US embassy in another country to return to the US, unless she came in illegally.

Dear Kter Malkut, this is the situation of the lead plaintiff in De Gomez v. USCIS, 2:22-cv-00368 (Western Dt Washington, filed 3/25/2022). Ms. Velasco de Gomez entered the US with a B visa in June 1996, stayed for three years, departing in 2000. She then reentered in 2000 again on the B visa

@@heidimeyers6355 Thank you for your response. It seems very unusual that she got a visa to enter the US after violating her first visa conditions. There were reports of influence being used on people working in the embassies to get people visas. As far fetched as that may sound it is a possibility. The other possibility is that she had a five year multiple entry visa (not known when I entered the US) where she could enter the US during the five years for as many times as she chose, and the violation did not prevent her from exercising the entry option. The influence thing sort of happened to me and I wasn't attempting to do anything dishonest. I had got a scholarship to enter the US but wanted to get a visa before my scholarship papers were ready. I produced a sponsor with a US bank account who had funds to cover my program. The visa officer was about to reject my visa application claiming that I was not contributing to the costs of the program. At that point I happened to have a letter by a professor colleague who was well known to the embassy. He had given me the letter as a recommendation to apply to schools. As soon as the visa officer saw the letter he gave me a visa with an apology!

@@heidimeyers6355 A multiple entry visa allows the person to enter the US during the tenure of the visa. If the person enters on a B visa, with no multiple entry option, and the person overstays, it is VERY UNLIKELY that they will receive another visa to reenter the US. In that case yes, the US embassy or consulate can make a mistake or grant a visa for some other reason. The US used to issue multiple entry five year visas, which they may not anymore. The person entering on such a visa is expected to comply with B visa rules each time the person enters during those five years. But if the person overstays they are not prevented from reentering the US during the five years. There are TWO issues here. The airline has to issue the person a airline ticket which they will do if the person has a valid visa. They don't check for overstays. Second, when the person arrives in the US, the person is still on a valid FIVE year visa. Does the immigration officer in the US have the authority or discretion to cancel that visa and send the person back to their country, if they find the person overstayed on one of the entries? That is a rhetorical question.

The gov't is unlawfully dehumanizing you into a "legal identity" to deny your LAWFUL visitation. You are not your "legal identity" despite attorneys and gov't trying to convince you that YOU are your "legal identity." The only BAR that is place by the US Gov't is on your "legal identity" which is NOT you! Attorneys are all identity scam artists, btw. They won't tell you this because they'd be out of a job if the identity fraud truth about attorneys ever came out and was widely known.

With a bar how can they admit you? I have a 10 year bar, married to a US citizen, had to come back to Canada because my wife was let go of her job, I had the approved i-130 but could not go through with status adjustment because I had to go to work in Canada. I tried to enter two years later but go turned around. I still have 3 years to go on my bar. How can I even be admitted unless I have a waiver? I don't get how they would even let me into the US without a waiver. We need to go back to the US soon to take care of my wife's mentally disabled son, and my wife is also somewhat disabled.
