Immigration Waiver

An Immigration Problem Does Not Always Mean the Case Is Lost

An immigration waiver maybe an option for some individuals who are facing a ground of inadmissibility and want to continue an immigration process to the United States.

Not every immigration issue qualifies for a waiver, and not all waivers have the same requirements. The strategy depends on the reason for inadmissibility, the immigration category, the person’s history, qualifying family members, and the evidence available. 

Ground of Inadmissibility

First, We Must Identify the Immigration Problem

The analysis may include unlawful presence, fraud or misrepresentation, certain situations related to prior entries, immigration orders, criminal history, or other factors that may affect eligibility.

The U.S. Department of State explains that the reasons that can prevent a visa from being issued are known as inadmissibilities, and that some may have a waiver option under applicable law.

In Many Cases, the Impact on Your Family Is a Key Part of the Strategy

Depending on the type of waiver, it may be necessary to show how a denial would affect a spouse or parent who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

The family relationship, personal circumstances, and evidence of hardship may be determining factors in certain cases.

Strong Evidence

The Story Must Be Supported by Documents

An immigration waiver is not based only on explaining a difficult situation. It requires building a clear narrative and supporting it with medical, financial, family, psychological, educational, employment, or other relevant evidence.

Indicators

Important elements for an Immigration Waiver Application

Clear Identification of the Inadmissibility

It is important to understand the specific reason that may prevent a person from moving forward with a visa or permanent residence process.

Complete Immigration History

Entries, departures, prior visas, overstays, applications, denials, deportations, or immigration orders may be relevant.

Qualifying Relative, When Applicable

Some waivers require showing the impact that a denial would have on a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member.

Evidence of Hardship

Medical, psychological, financial, family, educational, or employment documents may help demonstrate the circumstances of the case.

Personal and Family Statements

Letters and declarations can help explain the family’s story, as long as they are consistent with the documents and evidence available.

Strategy for the Main Immigration Process

The waiver should be analyzed together with the main immigration case, whether it involves a family petition, consular processing, adjustment of status, or another pathway.
