Discovering that you are considered “inadmissible” to the U.S. can be a devastating blow to your immigration plans. In many cases, it is possible to apply for a waiver to forgive the grounds of inadmissibility. However, waiver applications require an argument demonstrating why you should be granted this relief.
At New Frontier Immigration Law, we understand the high stakes involved in these cases. An immigration waiver lawyer from our firm can provide the guidance needed to build a strong case for you in Mesa.
U.S. immigration law contains a long list of grounds that can make an individual inadmissible. An experienced immigration waiver lawyer can help you understand your specific situation in Mesa, AZ. Some of the most common grounds for inadmissibility include:
Most waiver applications, particularly those for unlawful presence and certain criminal grounds, require you to prove that your qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative would suffer “extreme hardship” if you were denied admission to the U.S. This is a very high legal standard that goes far beyond the normal emotional and financial difficulties of family separation.
Building a case for extreme hardship involves extensive documentation. Evidence can include medical records, financial statements, psychological evaluations, country condition reports, and letters from family and community members. A Mesa immigration waiver lawyer can help you gather and present a comprehensive package that clearly demonstrates the severe impact your absence would have on your qualifying relative. We work with you to craft a detailed narrative that highlights the unique factors of your case.
There are several different types of waivers, each designed to address specific grounds of inadmissibility. The most common waiver is the Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility. Another key waiver is the Form I-601A, Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver, which allows certain individuals to apply for the waiver from within the U.S. before they depart for their consular interview abroad.
Choosing the correct waiver and filing it at the right time is key to the success of your case. A provisional waiver, for example, can significantly reduce the time you must spend separated from your family. We can analyze your immigration history to determine which waiver is appropriate and guide you through the correct procedural steps, whether you are filing from within the U.S. or from abroad.
