AOS Marriage Based - NOID
I don’t know what to say, me and my husband really thought our interview was okay.. It turns out I misrepresented my visa.
June 3, 2026 I check my uscis then I saw that I had notice, I thought it’s a RFE but it’s a NOID. My whole life shattered. I don’t know what to do my husband’s at work.
I read the letter and it says, I can’t adjust my status due to fraud-misrepresentation. I can apply a waiver Form I-601.
To give a background about me and what happened in the past. I know I made bad choices and mistakes please be good to me and tried to understand. I’m not gonna be so clean here and pretend that Im a God. To this, so you guys can understand what happened to the interview as well.
——————
Due to news that USCIS might see this ( I’m not gonna disclose here, where exactly happens) I came here as a B2 Visa with my step-father. This was my 2nd arrival in USA. Our intended stay is not more than 10 days.
Step-father, needs me to accompany him to his conference but because he’s disabled and slow due to surgery when he had accident when he fell. (My reason when I interviewed for my visa B2)
From my home country I don’t have a visa to go to his country (I got denied) but I found out that that there’s a visa for shot lay-over when we’re going to USA. So I got the 3 days Visa (Immigration) Then I ask the person if I can get it again when we went from USA and the person said yes, just provide the itinerary (my ticket).
So the day that we’re gonna go back, the Airline doesn’t want me to check in because I don’t have the same airline as my connecting flight from USA to his home country and to my home country.
I tried and tried and explain that there’s a Transit Visa that allows me to stay for 3 days. But the lady said that’s against to their Airline policy, Refuse to help me, and just said I need to book another ticket directly from (state to my home country) at cost $2,000..
Unfortunately I don’t have that kind of money that time, I remember I just have $350-400 on my bank account. And I ask my step-father to help because I dont know what to do and we’re running out of time and the check in area will be close or else including him cannot depart.
Before that night he got drunk, complained that he spend too much money on our trip, I told him this place is really expensive and he chose it. I reminded him that I accompanied him.. Him and my mom don’t go well, I’m just being kind and to look at him because he helps when I was in school. He called his bank and canceled his credit card. He said he still has Cash so it will be okay for us.
Because we had time difference, I tried to ask for help to my relatives and my step father, he gave the remaining of his cash maybe around $400-500 if I converted it to USD. This is really depressing to me because I don’t have anyone at that time..
I message my family if they can help. But nothing.
I asked my friend in East side if he can help, and said He’s gonna help.. so from this state I went to my friend. But after a week I feel like Im a baggage to him and he also can’t help me, because he has his own problem.
I ask my relatives if they know anyone can help me and they said we have a distant relative to this (state).
I message and ask if they can help me I tried to have a thick face because we’re not that close to my family.
So I book another flight to go to them. From East side to other side of USA.
This is my mistake, I think I didn’t do anything to help myself, or ask the government or borrow money that time.
I work unauthorised,
My distant relative is old I called them grandpa but in reality great grandparents but a brother of my great grandma to my father side.
They refer me this facility where people take care for old people. Because I needed the money, I accepted it.
It’s a live in Facility and kinda far where my relatives live.
I work there day and night, no rest, no exact-schedule for day off.
So back to my step father, I ask again for help.. He respond to me to ask for my mom and Im old enough to figure it out.. I know this sounds so cruel but here it is.
When my mom found out that I’m working, she started to ask for money. Reasoning she needed it for my other siblings and she has a big debt and needs to pay.
At the back of my mind I’m just gonna stay for 6 months, save up and go back go my home country.
I helped her, I send money but she got entitled that she said all of my salary must go to her and just help her. At this point I’m thinking to go back to my home country because the work is killing me, no rest, no sleep and the salary is underpaid.
I explained to my mom that I have my own problems too, soon Im going to overstay. I know this, because I’m really scared that’s why I research about it.
My mom and my dad never got married I was a broken family. They have their own family but I tried to help everything I can.
My hometown got flooded and our house got wrecked, so I helped too. When my mom found out that I can’t help her, she got mad and block me.
On my workplace, I found out that my boss hold the salary of my past co-worker so I got scared that if I quit they’re going to hold my salary too. My salary ($10 per hour for 24hrs job) but in reality it’s less than $10.
Then I meet someone, before my 6 month stay in USA. I can say he’s kind and understands my situation but knowing him in a short time he tried to propose to help me. I rejected it, I told him. I want to know him first and I don’t want him to think that I like him because he can help my status.
Here what might go wrong, I think he got hurt because I refuse his proposal. Then when we had an argument or misunderstanding he said that I like him so he can help for my visa. But I know to myself that it’s not. So I broke up with him. I did regret it that time, and tried to resolve but he said doesn’t want me anymore so it’s time to move on.
My boss ask if I want them to help me for my visa, they’re going to process it and I need to pay for the processing like $800 per month.
I refuse because I’m thinking to quit that moment, I really can’t take it anymore. The facility is 15-16 people, and they let me work by myself for almost a month. Change diaper for morning, prepare breakfast, change diaper again lunch, dinner and prepare dinner. In short they let me do it all the work including meds which is against the law.
I ask for help with my recent co-worker if they have available work for me. And good thing they have it. But not so fast.
I know that my boss will not going to like it. I lied, I told them I’m going to get married and going back to my great grandparents so I can save up (which is a lie)
Ended up they hold my salary.. that’s why I ask for help to this organisation.
I move out and got a new job, under the table as well. Better salary, I have my sleep and rest.
For me this is survival, I pass my overstay and this is what my life now.
This is where I met my husband whom so kind, handsome and very understanding.. we met online. We click and decide to get married.
We relocate to another state and starts to gather evidence for my application. To the new state, we got our own apartment got married. He makes me believe that someone is on my side. He never makes me doubt what’s my decision and accepted me. This man loves me for who I am.
So before we leave the state to go to new state the organisation help me, against my old boss for backpay and trafficking. (This is different story)

So in the interview the officer ask
how I ended up overstaying.
(Got stuck at the Airport) then decided to stay..
If I earned enough money to go back to my home country
If I know my visa will expired
———
I just think that time I didn’t misrepresented..
I answer it truthfully.
If I didn’t did what I did, I think I never met my husband.
This is my life now, with him.
I-130 is approved.
NOIS for I-485 due on July 2.
We’re going to ask for a lawyer tomorrow.
I hope we overcome this.. Please send us prayers and good luck.. thank you so much..
Im sorry for long post, I just need this to vent so I don’t think Im by myself even when if my husband said he’s here and he will do everything for me.
