Are you confused about the difference between a 601A provisional waiver and a regular 601 waiver? You’re not alone. In this article, we’ll break down the key differences between these two waivers to help you navigate the complex world of immigration law.
First, let’s clarify where each waiver applies. The 601A provisional waiver is for individuals who are currently in the United States and need to waive their unlawful presence in order to apply for a green card through consular processing. On the other hand, the regular 601 waiver is for individuals who are outside the United States and need to waive certain grounds of inadmissibility before they can re-enter the country.

One of the main benefits of the 601A provisional waiver is that it allows applicants to remain in the United States while their waiver is being processed, which can take several years. This contrasts with the regular 601 waiver, which requires applicants to remain outside the United States while their waiver is processed.
To determine which waiver you need, consider the following questions:
- Where is the immigrant located?
- What process are they going through to get their green card?
- What are they trying to have waived?
If the immigrant is in the United States and needs to waive their unlawful presence, they may be eligible for a 601A provisional waiver. However, if they are outside the United States and need to waive other grounds of inadmissibility, they will likely need a regular 601 waiver.
