What is an Immigration Waiver?
An immigration waiver gives you a chance to be forgiven for past immigration issues and regain eligibility to enter or stay in the United States. It gives you a second chance; a way to live, work, or reunite with your loved ones here, even if you’ve made mistakes or faced difficulties before.
Immigration waivers can help in situations such as:
- Having serious health problems
- Having a criminal record
- Concerns about national security
- Needing government assistance to support yourself
- Having been removed from the U.S. before
- Being in the U.S. without legal status
The purpose of a waiver is to make sure immigration laws are fair, while giving people a chance to build a life in the United States.
Waivers of Inadmissibility
When someone is found “inadmissible,” it means they are legally barred from entering or remaining in the United States due to a specific ground under immigration law. A waiver of inadmissibility is a formal request asking the government to forgive that ground and allow you to move forward with your visa or green card application.
There are several types of inadmissibility waivers, depending on the reason you are barred from entry. Common examples include:
- Unlawful presence waivers (I-601A) – for those who have spent more than 180 days in the U.S. without legal status.
- Permanent bar waivers – for individuals who reentered or tried to reenter the U.S. illegally after unlawful presence or removal.
- Fraud or misrepresentation waivers (212(i)) – for people who gave false information or documents when applying for immigration benefits.
- Criminal waivers (212(h)) – for certain criminal convictions.
- Health-related waivers (212(g)) – for medical or vaccination-related inadmissibility.
- Permission to reapply after removal (I-212) – for those who were deported or removed and wish to lawfully return.
Each waiver has its own eligibility rules, forms, and evidence requirements. An experienced immigration waiver lawyer can identify which type applies to your situation and help build the strongest possible case.
How an Unlawful Presence Waiver Can Change Your Immigration Case
An unlawful presence waiver can be a critical turning point in overcoming immigration barriers. By securing this waiver, applicants can often avoid prolonged separation from their loved ones, as it allows them to process their immigration status without being penalized for their time spent without authorization.
At Kaur Law P.C., we understand how important it is to keep families together. Our immigration waiver lawyer helps clients determine if they qualify for an unlawful presence waiver and guides them through each step of the process.
What is a Permanent Bar Waiver?
A permanent bar waiver gives certain individuals a chance to ask for forgiveness and regain permission to enter the United States legally. The permanent bar usually applies to people who entered or tried to enter the U.S. without inspection after spending more than one year in the country unlawfully or after being ordered removed.
To qualify for a Permanent Bar Waiver, you must:
- Show that being kept out of the U.S. would cause extreme hardship to your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent
- Provide strong supporting evidence, such as:
- Medical records
- Financial documents
- Personal statements or affidavits
- Meet all other eligibility requirements
- Clearly explain why you deserve another chance to return to the United States
Our immigration waiver lawyer will assess your situation and let you know if you could be eligible for this waiver.

Who Qualifies for a Waiver of Inadmissibility?
Individuals who may qualify for a waiver of inadmissibility include those who can demonstrate that their denial of entry would result in extreme hardship to a qualifying relative who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. It is important to note that the definition of “extreme hardship” is subject to interpretation by immigration authorities and varies based on the specific circumstances of each case.
What Qualifies as Extreme Hardship?
Once all forms and documents are submitted, the NVC will review your case to ensure everything is complete. If additional information or corrections are needed, the NVC will notify you. After your case is deemed complete, you will receive instructions regarding your visa interview appointment at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country.
Common factors that may show extreme hardship include:
- Financial problems caused by being separated from you
- Medical issues that require special treatment not available in your home country
- Emotional or psychological stress on your family due to the separation
- Disruptions to children’s education or well-being
- Difficulties relocating to another country because of cultural, language, or work-related barriers
Being clear, detailed, and organized with your evidence can make your case stronger and increase your chances of getting the waiver approved.
I-601 Waiver Application
To get an I-601 waiver approved, you need to show strong evidence and tell your story clearly. Your personal statement should explain why you’re asking for the waiver and how deportation, inadmissibility, or separation would cause serious emotional, financial, or physical hardship to you or your family.
Include documents that support your situation, such as:
- Proof of income, bills, or tax returns to show financial hardship
- Medical records or expert letters for health-related or emotional hardship
Working with an immigration waiver lawyer can help make sure your application is complete, well-organized, and meets all USCIS requirements, giving you the best chance of approval.
