If you are an immigrant seeking an adjustment of status, like with a green card or visa application, but were denied entry, it likely means the United States essentially considers you inadmissible. However, even when facing inadmissibility, there are options in the form of immigration waivers that you can explore.
A Tempe immigration waiver lawyer can help you explore ways in which you can still enter the U.S. legally for your purposes. We will walk you through the steps that can potentially allow reentry into the country. At New Frontier Immigration Law, we are committed to helping immigrants and protecting their rights.

Understanding the reason behind USCIS’s inadmissible designation often helps with appeals and/or the waiver commonly known as the I-601. Some common reasons for inadmissibility include:
Additionally, people who the government deems as national security risks can receive notices of inadmissibility in their visa or adjustment of status applications. In Arizona, special attention is paid to individuals with a criminal history involving several misdemeanors and/or felonies.
When a Tempe lawyer reviews your case, they can determine an individual’s eligibility for a waiver of inadmissibility or explore other waivers that may allow them to enter the United States legally.
An immigration waiver allows people who were previously inadmissible to come into the U.S. on special grounds or conditions. People who fall into one or more of the following visa or status application categories can generally request an immigration waiver:
There is a broad spectrum for applicants seeking adjustment of status, ranging from those self-petitioning under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and their children, to those filing based on a T non-immigrant status. Every case is unique, so it is best to work with an experienced lawyer in Tempe to figure out the best immigrant waiver pathways.
Several types of waivers are available to individuals who have been denied entry into the United States. These include Forms I-192, I-601, I-601A, and I-212, each with different requirements. However, they all have one thing in common: the condition of “extreme hardship.”
Their application must indicate that if the applicant is not granted their petition for an adjustment of status or visa, the qualifying relative will suffer extreme hardship, either in the United States or in the applicant’s home country. This condition will play a vital role in an applicant’s request for an immigration waiver.
