Immigration Lawyer in San Antonio, Texas: Why You Might Be Considered Ineligible for a Visa

Joseph Cohen is an immigration lawyer in San Antonio, Texas may be able to assist you To obtain a positive outcome.  Contact our firm today to learn more about your options if your visa application has been questioned or denied for any reason.

 

Reasons Why Visa Applicants are Declared Ineligible and Your Options

 

Here are some common reasons why applicants might be declared ineligible for a visa. Every immigration case is unique, and if your application has been denied, it might be wise to speak to an immigration attorney, like the Law Office of J. Joseph Cohen in San Antonio, Texas today. Why might your visa have been denied?

 

  • If you have a disease that has been deemed a public health risk, don’t have immunization documentation, have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder or a substance abuse issue, your visa application might be denied on these grounds. You may be able to appeal the denial or get a waiver if you can provide documentation for your immunization, show that the communicable disease has been treated or is no longer a public health threat, or show that you have received substance abuse treatment or mental health care.
  • Criminal Convictions. If you have a criminal record, your visa application can be denied. This includes having a criminal record in your home country. However, if you can show that your crime was minor or that you have since contributed positively to your community, you may be able to appeal the denied visa application.. Applying for a visa with a criminal record can be a complex process. It can be very helpful to have an immigration lawyer like the Law Office of J. Joseph Cohen in San Antonio, Texas on your side. Contact me today to learn more.
  • Public Charge. If you are found to not have sufficient money to support yourself in the U.S., your visa could be denied on public charge grounds. However, if your financial circumstances have changed, you may be able to appeal a denial based on public charge.. “Public charge” can mean that a person is reliant on the government to support them. If you plan to accept any form of government aid and are considering applying for a visa, consider reaching out to an immigration attorney first to learn more about how it might impact your case.
  • Violation of Immigration Laws. If you defied a past order of removal, entered the country illegally, or overstayed a visa, you might be declared ineligible to receive a visa under immigration law. Fortunately, if a sufficient period of time passes and if you leave the U.S. in some circumstances, you may be able to eventually apply for a visa. If this describes your situation, the time to address these issues is best before you apply for a visa. If your visa has already been denied, you may need to speak to a lawyer right away. Contact the Law Office of J. Joseph Cohen, immigration lawyer in San Antonio, Texas to learn more.

 

These are just some of the circumstances where a person might be declared ineligible to receive a visa. Fortunately, you may still be able to receive your visa if your application has been questioned or denied. You may have the right to make an appeal, reconsideration, submit additional evidence or reapply. The immigration Law Office of J. Joseph Cohen in San Antonio, Texas  may be able to assist you.

 

 

Waivers for Ineligibility

 

One way you may be able to fight your denial is to apply for a waiver. According to the U.S. Department of State, you may be required to attend an interview, in addition to submitting forms and all documentation to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It is also possible to apply for a visa again in the future if you have overcome any of the reasons for your prior ineligibility (you are now able to financially support yourself, you have received all immunizations and have documentation, or have other documentation). Contact the Law Office of J. Joseph Cohen, an immigration lawyer in San Antonio today to learn more about your options.
