Refused entry twice
I am Canadian and my wife is American and we married in Niagara Falls, USA on October 8th 2016.
October 21st - 25th 2017 we traveled to Anaheim, California for our Honeymoon. We liked California a lot and made a decision to move there. We found a house in a 55 plus gated community in Hemet, Southern California and purchased it outright.
December 1st 2017 we packed up all our stuff and the moving company (our furniture) and started our journey driving to Southern California. We stayed one night in Sarnia, Ontario and on December 2nd we made our way to the Blue Water Border Crossing. I have a valid 10 year passport. We at the cabin, I told the absolute truth that we were moving to Southern California. I was asked my status and if I had a Green Card. (NO) to both questions. At that moment, we were asked to go to secondary. Inside, we explained our situation and I was flat out refused entry in to the USA because we did not start the Immigration process but on the USA website, it states that i can start the process in the USA.
We headed back to Windsor where we stayed for two months. Hired an Immigration Lawyer and handed in all our documentation. Within 10 business days, the lawyer recieved the I-797 form. On our second attempt to cross at The Ambassador Border Crossing, I was again, flat out refused entry into the USA. I was taken in for a pat down which was extremely rough. After all once said and done, we headed back to Windsor.
On February 5th 2018 my wife decided to fly out to our house with our dog. My wife has serious medical issues. Lupus and RA and SLE and heart issues. From her doctor in Amherst, NY, we handed in a medical letter.
We are now on the last leg of this unfortunate journey. Just waiting for one more document to arrive in California at our house from Virginia so that all 5 documents can be placed in an envelope and mailed to the processing center in Nebraska.
In this whole ordeal, we have the California Congressman and a case worker that works with him helping us.
I ask: Is there anyone out there in a similar situation.
Thank you for listening,
