What other type of immigration waiver is there?

In addition to the I-212 immigration waiver, there are other types of waivers that may be relevant to those facing challenges to their immigration status. One of the most common waivers is the I-601 immigration waiver, also known as the Inadmissibility Waiver. This waiver applies to those who are inadmissible to the United States due to certain reasons, such as unlawful presence, certain criminal violations, or violations of immigration laws.

The I-601A waiver, on the other hand, is specifically for those who are present in the United States and are inadmissible due to their irregular immigration status. They may apply for the waiver before leaving the country for a consular interview.

Each type of waiver has specific requirements and processes, which must be followed carefully enough for filing and approval.

Factors Considered for Exemption Issuance

The issuance of a waiver is a process that can exempt you from certain immigration requirements that would otherwise prevent you from lawfully entering or remaining in the country. This waiver can apply to a variety of situations, such as inadmissibility due to certain crimes or violations of immigration laws, unlawful presence in the country, or meeting certain humanitarian criteria. The issuance of a waiver would allow you to overcome these barriers and obtain lawful immigration status.

When considering a waiver issue, several factors are crucial:

  • Specific grounds for inadmissibility, whether criminal violations, unlawful presence or violations of immigration laws, must be considered.
  • It is important to collect and submit documentation to support your waiver request, including court records, certificates of rehabilitation, letters of support, and any other evidence that demonstrates eligibility for the waiver.
  • In some cases, humanitarian or family factors may influence the decision to issue a waiver, such as separation from family, health or welfare of loved ones, or fear of persecution in the home country.

Due to the complexity of the waiver process and the legal implications it has, it is essential to receive guidance or legal advice from an immigration attorney prior to filing a waiver application. At The United Firm | La Liga Defensora A.P.C. we will provide you with expert guidance on the requirements of the process and help you prepare a strong and compelling application.
