Waivers
Immigration waivers are highly important and extremely useful tools to aid applicants immigrating to the United States. In many circumstances, an immigration waiver is the only way a person could seek admissibility to the United States. Waivers vary case by case and it is highly recommended to consult with an attorney before taking action and see what waivers you may qualify for.
601 Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
If you are inadmissible to the United States and are seeking an immigrant visa, adjustment of status, certain nonimmigrant statuses, or certain other immigration benefits, you must file this form to seek a waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility.
I601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver
​Certain immigrant visa applicants who are relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents may use this application to request a provisional waiver of the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility under Immigration and Nationality Act section 212 (a)(9)(B), before departing the United States to appear at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for an immigrant visa interview.
I-212, Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal
If you are inadmissible under sections 212(a)(9)(A) or (C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), use this form to ask for consent to reapply for admission to the United States so you can lawfully return to the United States. Consent to reapply is also called “permission to reapply.”
Consultation is highly recommended.
Waivers can be difficult to get approved, and we recommend anyone seeking an immigration waiver to consult with a qualified immigration attorney. Waivers are decided by the government, and thus a very strong showing for the need of a waiver must be shown. Waivers are useful for those that are deemed inadmissible either by previous legal history or unlawful presence in the U.S.
