Waivers
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
