New Jersey Immigration Waivers Lawyers
Middlesex County Immigration Waiver Lawyers Working To Achieve Positive Results
Our firm also specializes in the preparation of immigration waivers. Waivers are applicable in a number of situations and are often the only way an individual may be deemed “admissible” to the United States. For example, a person may have a criminal record, or may have entered the United States without inspection, or through fraud or misrepresentation. Generally speaking, that person would not be admissible or eligible to adjust status.
Fortunately, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) permits, under certain conditions, the government to excuse what would otherwise be a bar, thereby allowing the person to enter, or in some instances, adjust his or her status without having to leave the United States. Other situations in which a waiver may be required include the filing of an I-751 Joint Petition to Remove Conditions on Permanent Residence. Ordinarily, both spouses must sign the petition for the alien’s permanent residence. However, the law does recognize special cases where a couple may have married in good faith but subsequently divorced due to a breakdown in the relationship. Another circumstance in which a waiver may be applied for is when a conditional resident alien spouse is abused by his/her U.S. Citizen spouse. If certain criteria can be met, the alien will be allowed to self-petition for his or her permanent residence.
On July 29, 2016, USCIS announced a final rule expanding the provisional waiver process to include additional immigrant categories that may be eligible to apply. As a result, spouses and children of lawful permanent residents, as well as sons and daughters of US Citizens may now be eligible under this process.
