Got 212(a)(6)(C)(i) on H1B stamping

[Murali Uppula]

I have attended my H1 B visa interview on October 28th, VO refused and issued me 212(a)(6)(C)(i) pink slip and asked to reach out USCIS on my current situation. This is about misrepresentation when applying for a visa or entry to the United States. Not sure why did he gave me this one. I came to US in March 2015 on F1 and never travelled back to India. My H1 b got approved in December 2019.

What are my next steps, do I have to talk to USCIS first or my attorney needs to?

Please suggest if you have any inputs on this. This can be helpful. Thanks in Advance!!

First understand what is 212?

What is Section 212 A 6 CI?

 

(U) INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i) provides that "any alien who by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact seeks to procure (or sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or some other benefit provided under" the INA is ineligible.

 

Now it's time for your attorney to deal with this.
