Some people who are qualified to become U.S. residents are nevertheless inadmissible because they have violated rules and regulations. In some circumstances, the consequences are severe.
The most common violations prevent qualified individuals from receiving a visa or becoming U.S. residents. Understanding the specific grounds of ineligibility is important when applying for a Waiver.
Unlawful entry into the U.S. and remaining for one year or more.
Unlawful presence in the U.S. for over a year after your visa period of stay (I-94) has expired.
Visa Fraud/misrepresentation may create grounds of ineligibility for an immigrant visa.
Public charge is one of the common violations that may create grounds of ineligibility.
Criminal convictions not considered aggravated felonies or crimes of violence.
A Waiver is an additional application required for individuals who have a valid approved immigration application but are otherwise not eligible to get a visa or adjust their status because they are subject to a ground of inadmisibility. The most common grounds are serious criminal convictions, unlawful entry into the U.S., overstaying your admission into the U.S ., unauthorized employment, fraud and misrepresentation, and receiving public benefits.
For people who have been in the U.S. unlawfully for more than one year, new regulations allow you to file your Waiver application while you are in the U.S. before your interview at the U.S. consulate.
