A Kenyan woman was deported to Kenya after the US authorities discovered a video of her working in the country despite having a visiting visa.
On a Brad Show Live episode hosted by lawyer Brad Bernstein on Tuesday, July 11, the victim’s sister gave details about her sister’s story, saying that she had come to the US with a visitor visa and had gone to Kenya to see her sons before heading back.
However, when she arrived, the immigration officers discovered a video on her phone that showed her working, ultimately resulting in her deportation.
According to the immigration officers, the woman will be barred from entering the US for five years.
The lawyer explained that the deported individual has two options: getting married to a US citizen or having parents who live in the US.
He added that, given the misrepresentation of her activities in the US, she will not be allowed to reenter the country after her deportation.
“She can only get a waiver for a green card through a spouse or a parent or she will never get back to America,” Bernstein explained.
Bernstein is the president of the Law Offices of Spar & Bernstein P.C. He is an experienced immigration law expert who has successfully handled over 100,000 cases.
According to the US Embassy in Kenya, applying for a visiting visa requires the applicant to have a valid passport, an email address, travel plans, details of their past five trips to the US and other countries, and a digital photo.
To renew a visiting visa, a person can go to a US consulate abroad.
It is worth noting that only people with diplomatic visas and their dependents can renew their visas while in the US. On May 2023, the US Department of State raised the fees for various types of non-immigrant visa applications. They cited that the fee increase was due to the rising cost of inputs.
