- Waivers
The United States government has set various standards for foreign nationals who wish to live and work in the U.S., and those who do not meet these standards may be deemed inadmissible. A person could be deemed inadmissible for reasons related to health, criminal activity, immigration fraud, or a history of illegal presence in the United States.
Some of the most common grounds for rulings of inadmissibility include:
- The individual has been diagnosed with a mental or physical illness associated with dangerous behavior;
- The individual has been convicted of two more crimes and was sentenced to at least five years in prison;
- The individual intentionally provided false information to immigration officials during the visa or green card application process;
- The individual was deported or removed previously; or
- The individual entered the United States illegally or overstayed an expired visa.
Your eligibility for a waiver will depend on a number of factors, including the grounds for the initial determination.Your application can be filed with your application for Adjustment of Status (green card) or during deportation or removal proceedings. Those who are not currently in the U.S. can file their waiver application with their application for a visa.
