What are Waivers of Inadmissibility?
A finding of inadmissibility indicates that a USCIS officer or U.S. consulate has decided that an individual is not able to enter or remain in the United States based on the immigration law. The most common findings of inadmissibility come from unlawful presence, misrepresentation, criminal history, health-related bases, and other grounds for inadmissibility. Nonetheless, many people can still have a path forward through waivers of inadmissibility, such as the I-601 waiver, which allows individuals to request forgiveness for certain grounds of inadmissibility.
Waivers do not apply in all circumstances, and the burden of proof differs depending on the grounds for inadmissibility. This is precisely why it is so essential to work with an experienced I-601 immigration lawyer. In collaboration with a knowledgeable lawyer, they will help the client understand which waiver applies and what they need to demonstrate, and together they will create strong arguments to achieve a successful outcome with USCIS.
What Are Some Types of Inadmissibility Waivers
I-601 Waiver:
They are filed for unlawful presence, misrepresentation, certain types of criminal activity, or past immigration violations.
These waivers are often necessary when someone is requesting forgiveness for unlawful presence because meeting the qualifying U.S. relatives requirement can be difficult.
Immigration Waiver for Unlawful Presence:
This waiver applies to people who have overstayed or accrued unlawful time in the U.S.
It seeks forgiveness for unlawful presence by proving that extreme hardship would result for a qualifying spouse or parent.
I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver:
This waiver allows an eligible applicant in the U.S. to seek forgiveness for unlawful presence before departing for consular processing.
It allows for less time spent away from family while waiting for the visa to be approved.
Each waiver has its own eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and legal standards. It is critical to prepare carefully and gather substantial evidence before submission to meet USCIS criteria. Our lawyers evaluate the grounds of inadmissibility, as well as their immigration history, to determine which waiver would best suit them.
How to Build a Strong Waiver Petition
An inadmissibility waiver is determined by evidence and the clarity of the legal arguments. Most waivers must demonstrate “extreme hardship” to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative. Hardship can include, but is not limited to, the medical needs of the qualifying relative, financial hardship, emotional hardship, separation from the relative, and lack of care and support from the relative in the applicant’s home country. Each case is different from the others.
At the Coleman Law Group, we take a thorough, individualized approach by gathering documentation, drafting affidavits, developing hardship arguments, and properly framing each part of the waiver to fit your family’s unique needs and circumstances. As your I-601 waiver attorney, we limit the risk of delays, Requests for Evidence (RFE), and denials. All of these steps are important not only to avoid delays but also to avoid potential reasons for rejection.
