Types of Immigration Waivers
There are several types of waivers that help people overcome various grounds of inadmissibility to the U.S. Below, we explain the most common waivers, so you can understand how they apply to your case and which one might be right for you.
I-601A Provisional Waiver: Unlawful Presence
What it is:
The I-601A Provisional Waiver helps individuals who have been in the U.S. unlawfully to apply for a waiver of unlawful presence before they leave for their consular interview abroad. This waiver is primarily used by individuals who are applying for a family-based immigrant visa but are facing bars to reentry due to their unlawful stay.
Why it matters:
Without this waiver, individuals who have overstayed their visas would face long separation from their families during consular processing. The I-601A allows you to stay in the U.S. while the waiver is processed, reducing the time you would need to be apart from your loved ones.
Eligibility:
