    SPOUSAL PUBLIC POLICY

    Thank you and I get that. But after reading the policy (and maybe I am just reading it wrong): The reason for my husband's removal order was for overstaying his visa which refers to Lack of Status under the policy. “Lack of status” does not refer to any other inadmissibilities including: •...
