What is a Waiver of Inadmissibility?

A waiver of inadmissibility (Form I-601) is a legal request asking the U.S. government to pardon or waive certain grounds of inadmissibility.

If approved, the waiver allows you to move forward with your immigration application, even if you would otherwise be barred from entering or staying in the country.

A waiver of inadmissibility may cover things like unlawful presence in the U.S., certain criminal convictions, or prior immigration violations.

It may also extend to fraud or misrepresentation in past applications or on medical or public health grounds.

The key is proving to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that granting you a waiver is in the public interest and that your family, especially U.S. citizens or lawful permanent resident relatives, would suffer extreme hardship without you. Working with an immigration waiver lawyer gives you the best chance at proving this to USCIS.

Who Qualifies for a Waiver of Inadmissibility?

Not everyone qualifies for an immigration waiver, and eligibility depends on the type of inadmissibility you’re facing. Some waivers of inadmissibility you may qualify for include:

  • Provisional unlawful presence waiver (Form I-601A): Available if you have spent more than 180 days in the U.S. without status and are now required to leave for consular processing. To qualify, you must show that your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent would suffer extreme hardship if your waiver is denied.
  • Waiver of inadmissibility (Form I-601): Covers a wider range of issues, such as criminal grounds, fraud, or health-related inadmissibility. In most cases, you must show that refusal of your application would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying relative.
  • Permanent bar waiver: The permanent bar applies to individuals who reenter or attempt to reenter the U.S. unlawfully after accruing more than 1 year of unlawful presence, or after a prior deportation or removal order. These cases are very limited, but some individuals may seek permission to reapply after waiting at least 10 years outside the U.S.

Each case is unique, and working with an immigration waiver lawyer can make all the difference in understanding whether you qualify and how to present the strongest possible case.

Why Is Hiring an Immigration Waiver Lawyer Essential for Your Case?

You may wonder: Can’t I just file the waiver forms myself?

While this is technically possible, immigration waivers are among the most complicated processes in immigration law. A simple mistake, missing evidence, or poorly explained hardship claim can result in a denial.

Here’s why having Immigration Spurgin on your side matters:

  • Deep Knowledge of the Law: We understand the technical requirements of each waiver, from I-601A unlawful presence waivers to permanent bar waivers, and how USCIS evaluates them.

  • Proven Track Record: Our team has successfully represented clients in all types of waiver cases. From these years of experience, we know what works and what doesn’t.
