About a decade ago, my mom got married to a us citizen and filed for her and me a i130/i485 under that (was 15 at the time). Her application was denied due to not enough evidence to suggest a bonafide marriage and uscis didn't call it out word for word in the denial notice but it had the words "sham" and "fraudalent" in it. See ( https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/getting-marriage-based-green-card-after-past-fraudulent-marriage.html )
The best way to learn whether or not USCIS or another agency found fraud in your past visa application is to obtain a copy of its denial of your Form I-130 or Form I-485 application. If terms such as “sham marriage,” “fraudulent marriage,” or marriage “entered into for the sole purpose of circumscribing immigration law” are in the denial decision, then the immigration agency has made a conclusive finding of fraud.
My application was denied due to invalid step child relationship with us citizen step father since there cannot be a relationship through in non bonafide marriage.
If i apply for another visa (eg h1b) can i be deemed inadmissable due to this past application at the embassy/cbp? I don't think i have any other inadmissibilities (>180 days unlawful etc)
Will get a lawyer to do a consultation, just wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts here or knows of a case like this in the past. thanks.
