■■■ Problems In Jamaica, The Visa Revocation Under INA 212(a)(2)(C) And The Failure to Declare Monetary Instruments.
#INA212(a)(2)(C) means a “controlled substance violation according to the laws and regulations of any country or U.S. state.”
If foreign travelers have negotiable monetary instruments as cash currency in their possession during the leisure travel, a regular “Report Transportation of Currency” must be submitted to Customs Officers upon they entry into a foreign country or the U.S..
In many countries as #Jamaica or #CostaRica, the failure to declare monetary instruments can result in its seizure and the arrest of the visitor with the subsequent effect of a local criminal conviction, linking this “failure to declare” with a money laundering operation.
After the criminal trial process abroad, the international sharing of police-customs data will lead to:
• U.S. Visa revocation under #INA212(a)(2)(C),
• visa denial under #INA212(a)(2)(C),
– a border inadmissibility to enter the U.S.(airports, seaports, land) with an unexpired visitor visa.
There are cases in which the U.S. Immigration Officials at a given U.S. airport or other port of entry decide to revoke someone’s valid visitor visa because they find an entry in the info electronic system that says that the person is, or was once, suspected of laundering money in some country.
There are confused consular situations abroad, in which the person whose visitor visa has been revoked under #INA212(a)(2)(C) has never really been involved in any of the offences either in the U.S. or in any other part of the world
Consular Officers at U.S. Consulates abroad review new visa applications (non immigrant or immigrant visas) od and will make a final adverse determinations.
Pardons petitions for inadmissible aliens will be based on the following facts:
•The risk of harm to society if the foreign national is admitted.
• The seriousness of the foreign national’s prior immigration law or criminal law violations, and
• The foreign national’s reasons for wishing to enter the U.S..
