Hi,
My mother (US Citizen) applied for my grandmother to get her green
card and she was approved for the consular processing option last
year. She went in the summer of last year to Mexico to take my grandma
to her appointment and when they arrived there they were told that my
grandma had been denied "because she was previously in the US for more
than 10 years".
My mother said this took all but five-ten minutes to let her know this
once she got to the interview (the wait was like four hours) -- it
doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't they have let her know before hand
(like before she had to make the trip to Mexico) that she was going to
be denied?
I couldn't find any information relating to the reasons for denial nor
could I find any info on this specific denial online (like at the
USCIS website), but does this sound right to anyone (and where could I
find out more about this)?
My grandma has been outside of the US for 5 years or more.
Is there anything she can do to appeal (even if it means that she has
to wait longer to apply or something -- again, I couldn't find
anything on ELIGIBILITY other than the basics)?
Thank you,
Robert |
