What are Immigration Waivers?

Immigration waivers are legal remedies that allow individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to the United States to obtain a visa or adjust their status. Various grounds of inadmissibility, such as previous immigration violations, criminal convictions, or health-related issues, can be waived under certain circumstances, enabling applicants to move forward with their immigration process.

Types of Immigration Waivers

1. Waiver of Inadmissibility for Unlawful Presence (I-601A Provisional Waiver):

   • Available to individuals who have accrued unlawful presence in the U.S. and are applying for a family-based immigrant visa.
   • Requires proving that denying the waiver would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative.

2. Waiver for Criminal Grounds (I-601 Waiver):

   • Available to individuals who have been convicted of certain crimes but can demonstrate rehabilitation and that their inadmissibility would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying relative.

3. Waiver for Misrepresentation or Fraud (I-601 Waiver):

   • For individuals who have committed immigration fraud or misrepresentation but can show that their exclusion would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying relative.

4. Health-Related Waivers:

   • Available for individuals with certain medical conditions that would otherwise render them inadmissible but can demonstrate that they pose no significant public health risk and that their admission would not burden the U.S. healthcare system.

5. Waiver for Previous Deportation or Removal (I-212 Waiver):

   • For individuals who have been previously deported or removed and seek permission to reapply for admission to the U.S.

Waiver Application Process

1. Determine Eligibility:

   • Our attorneys will assess your specific situation to determine if you qualify for any immigration waivers and advise on the best course of action.

2. Prepare Supporting Evidence:

   • Gather evidence to demonstrate the qualifying hardship to your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative, rehabilitation efforts, or other mitigating factors.

3. File the Waiver Application:

   • Complete and submit the appropriate waiver application forms (e.g., Form I-601 or I-601A) along with supporting documentation and fees.

4. Respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs):

   • If USCIS issues an RFE, our attorneys will help you respond with additional evidence or clarifications needed to support your waiver application.

5. Await Decision:

   • USCIS will review your waiver application and supporting documents to make a decision. If approved, you can proceed with your immigration process.
