Inadmissibility means that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Department of State has found you ineligible to enter or remain in the United States based on specific legal grounds.

Common grounds of inadmissibility include:

– Unlawful presence or entering without inspection
– Previous deportation or removal orders
– Fraud or misrepresentation (e.g., lying on a visa application)
– Criminal convictions (including drug offenses or crimes involving moral turpitude)
– Health-related issues (e.g., communicable diseases, drug addiction)
– Smuggling or assisting others in illegal entry
– Public charge concerns (reliance on government assistance)

We assist with a wide range of immigration waivers, including:

– I-601 Waiver – Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
Used when applying for a green card abroad and facing inadmissibility due to unlawful presence, criminal history, or fraud. Requires proof that denial would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative.

– I-601A Provisional Waiver – For Unlawful Presence
Filed before departing the U.S. to attend an immigrant visa interview abroad. Allows eligible undocumented spouses or children of U.S. citizens or residents to avoid lengthy family separation.

– I-212 Waiver – Reapplication for Admission After Deportation
For individuals previously deported or removed from the U.S. who want to lawfully return before the required waiting period expires.

– 212(h) Waiver – Waiver for Certain Criminal Offenses
Available to certain green card applicants with past criminal convictions, especially crimes involving moral turpitude.

– Fraud Waivers – For Misrepresentation or False Claims
Forgives certain lies or omissions on immigration applications, if qualifying relatives would suffer extreme hardship.

Most waivers require demonstrating that a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent would suffer “extreme hardship” if your application is denied. This hardship must go beyond the normal emotional or financial strain of family separation.

We help build a strong case using:

– Medical reports and psychological evaluations
– Financial hardship documentation
– Family support letters and expert declarations
– Country condition reports (for asylum or hardship waivers)
– Evidence of rehabilitation and good moral character (for criminal waivers)

– Comprehensive evaluation of your inadmissibility grounds
– Preparation and filing of waiver applications (I-601, I-601A, I-212, 212(h))
– Detailed extreme hardship packages tailored to USCIS and consular review standards
