Inadmissibility Waivers
When an individual applies for a visa or other applications, the Embassy or Citizenship and Immigration Services will determine if the individual is admissible to the United States. An individual may be found inadmissible for many reasons including a criminal history, being unlawfully present in the United States or having previous immigration violations. The full list of the grounds of inadmissibility can be found in the Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212.
Some inadmissibility grounds allow for a waiver and each waiver may have different requirements. For example, individuals who were here without lawful status for 180 days or longer are barred from entering for three or ten years. However, the individual may receive a waiver if their U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse or parents will suffer extreme hardship if they cannot come to the U.S. The immigration officer will consider factors such as medical hardship, financial hardship, educational hardship and conditions in your country.
