Immigration Waivers: Navigating Your Path to Relief
At Sharma Law Offices, LLC, we understand that the journey through immigration processes can be complex and, at times, daunting. A crucial aspect of this journey for many involves navigating the terrain of immigration waivers. These waivers are pivotal for individuals who find themselves ineligible for a visa or admission into the United States due to specific grounds of inadmissibility.
Understanding Immigration Waivers
Immigration waivers provide a legal means for applicants to request forgiveness or pardon from the U.S. government for certain violations or conditions that would otherwise prevent them from entering or remaining in the U.S. These waivers are not a one-size-fits-all solution; they are tailored to address various circumstances, each with its eligibility criteria, application processes, and potential outcomes.
Our expertise spans across the spectrum of immigration waivers, with a keen focus on the following:
Waiver I-601: Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
The I-601 waiver is for individuals outside the United States deemed inadmissible for one or more reasons but seek to immigrate to the U.S., adjust their status to permanent resident, or seek other immigration benefits. This waiver addresses a range of inadmissibility reasons, such as health-related issues, criminal violations, and prior immigration fraud or misrepresentation.
Waiver I-601A: Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver
Designed for individuals who are currently in the U.S. unlawfully, the I-601A waiver allows eligible applicants to apply for a waiver for their unlawful presence before they leave the United States for their immigrant visa interview abroad. This proactive approach aims to reduce the time families are separated during the waiver process.
Waiver I-212: Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal
The I-212 waiver assists individuals who have been deported, removed, or have departed the U.S. after being ordered removed and wish to return to the United States. Applying for and obtaining this waiver is a prerequisite for the individual to lawfully reenter the U.S. before the mandatory waiting period has elapsed.
