Waivers

Overview

Individuals may be inadmissible due to past immigration violations, criminal history, unlawful presence, fraud, or other reasons. However, the U.S. immigration system provides a way to overcome certain grounds of inadmissibility through waivers. A waiver is a legal request asking the U.S. government to forgive an inadmissibility issue, allowing the applicant to continue with their immigration process.

You may require a waiver if you are inadmissible for reasons such as:

Unlawful Entry – Entering the U.S. without inspection, a visa, parole, or any other legal status.

Unlawful Presence – Overstaying a visa or being physically present in the United States without legal status.

Misrepresentation or Fraud – Lying on immigration applications, interviews questioning by an immigration officer, or using false documents, among others.

Certain Criminal Convictions or Charges

Prior Deportation or Removal Orders – Even if you have left before an order of removal while in removal proceedings or by expedited process.

Health-Related Grounds – Certain medical or psychological conditions.

This type of waiver may be applicable within or outside the U.S.

Types of Immigration Waivers & General Requirements

I-601 Waiver (Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility)

For individuals applying for a green card or visa who are inadmissible due to unlawful presence, misrepresentation, criminal offenses, or other grounds.
Health-Related Waiver
Requires proof of extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent.
Usually used in family-based or humanitarian-based immigration cases.

*Not all crimes qualify for a waiver—some, such as aggravated felonies, cannot be waived.

I-601A Provisional Waiver (Unlawful Presence Waiver)

Applicants with U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residents, spouses, or parents who are in the U.S. without status must leave to attend a consular interview abroad.

*This type of waiver avoids long family separations by allowing the waiver to be approved before the applicant leaves the U.S.

I-212 Waiver (Permission to Reapply for Admission After Removal)

For applicants who have prior deportation or removals from the U.S. and need permission to return legally.
For applicants with a permanent bar
