Waivers

  1. Waiver Benefits: Allow inadmissible persons to overcome certain legal barriers to obtain a visa or resident status. They are essential for those facing entry bans due to prior immigration violations or health problems, and provide an opportunity to regularize their status.
  2. Requirements for Waivers:
    • Prove that denial of entry would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
    • Be the beneficiary of an approved visa petition or be in the process of adjustment of status.
    • Demonstrate the specific reason for inadmissibility and offer evidence that the waiver is merited.
  3. Process for Obtaining a Waiver:
    • File Form I-601 or I-601A as appropriate, with supporting documentation justifying the waiver.
    • Attend an interview to verify the validity of the application and the existence of extreme hardship.
    • Wait for a decision from USCIS and, if approved, proceed with the visa or adjustment of status application.
