I went to the USA in 2007 with the J-1 visa, but I overstayed my visa for 3 years, I returned to Brazil in May 2012.
In 2015 I got married with a green card hold, so in 2016 we start a process (I-130) for me to get the green card.
Last week I went to my green card interview, but the consul didnt approve and said that I need to do the waiver, based on section 212 (a)(9)(B)(i)(II) (Were unlawfully presente in the USA for 365 days or more, considered inadmissible for a period of ten years after subsequent departure from the USA).
But there is a lawer saying that even though I do the waiver process (I-601), it's going to be denied again and I'll only be able to get after the 10 years have pass.
Can anyone tell me if this is true or if I can continue with the waiver process that there is a possibility that I get approved before May 2022. Does anyone know who had the waiver approved in a case the same as mine?
