UNLAWFUL PRESENCE WAIVER ((Part 1); I-601A; USA Immigration Lawyer
You've heard that waivers "help people get a Green Card." In this video series, I discuss the I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver. This waiver allows people who have accrued unlawful presence in the U.S. to travel back to their country for an interview at the U.S. Embassy...so they may ultimately get their Green Card.

Hi everyone, several people have asked this question: "Why does a person need to apply for a waiver and consular process if they are married to a US citizen spouse?" Great question. Being married to a US citizen does NOT cure all immigration problems! For example, if a person entered the country WITHOUT inspection at the border, she cannot adjust her status unless she is a victim of domestic violence (or fall into another category where an exemption is allowed). In order to adjust your status, you must have been inspected and admitted in the U.S. Otherwise, you must consular process. When you apply for adjustment of status, the government will ask you to prove that you had a lawful entry (i.e., I-94 record). If you don't have this, merely being married to a US citizen does not save you. Here's my source for this law: www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume7-PartB-Chapter2.html.

I have a question: the uscis says "The provisional unlawful presence waiver process allows those individuals who are statutorily eligible for an immigrant visa (immediate relatives, family-sponsored or employment-based immigrants as well as Diversity Visa selectees); who only need a waiver of inadmissibility for unlawful presence to apply for that waiver in the United States before they depart for their immigrant visa interview." The people can obtain waiver by the "employment-based"? Where I can find those 2 peoples that can give to person a waiver because law says "Since March 4, 2013, certain immigrant visa applicants who are immediate relatives (spouses, children and parents) of U.S. citizens can apply for provisional unlawful presence waivers" and don't show above 21 years or below, just children. Thanks

Im a US citizen and my girlfriend is an illegal immigrant here in the US. She entered illegally and has been here for 3 years. If we decide to get married and she applys for a green card she will have to go back to her home country and apply over there at the US embassy. I doubt we will be eligable for the waiver due to hardship. When she goes back to her home country how will they decide how long before she can return to the US? Ive read it can be 3 to 10 years. This scares me because if thats the case we might as well not even go through with this whole process.

@@fortunatemd3253, thanks for weighing in on my KZfaq channel. However, please have a read of the requirements for adjustment of status - www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume7-PartB-Chapter2.html. Specifically, read the section on Inspected and Admitted. "If an applicant has not been inspected and admitted or inspected and paroled before filing an adjustment application, the officer must deny the adjustment application."

@McBeanImmigrationLaw 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Jackie, a USC spouse doesn't cure all immigration problems. If a person entered the country without being inspected or admitted by a border agent, he/she cannot adjust their status here (unless they are a victim of domestic violence or fall into certain categories). Here's my source for this information - www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume7-PartB-Chapter2.html. Thus, the person will need to consular process unless he can prove to the government that he had a lawful entry. "The applicant must have been: •Inspected and admitted into the United States; or •Inspected and paroled into the United States."

Apologies for the delay in responding...busy time for us...people who have entered without inspection at a border face a number of big challenges. However, if they are eligible for the I601A waiver, this might be their only way to obtaining a Green Card. Every case is different, however. If they have other immigration violations, the I601A waiver does not cure those additional problems.

Fortune Otuonye Fortune Otuonye hello, so the waiver is only for people who enter the US as “unlawful presence “ even if you try to adjust statues with a US citizen but you didn’t came here “legally “ you have to apply for a waiver, if you over stayed and came in “legally “ you don’t have to do

@fortunatemd3253 5 жыл бұрын

@Sheila Gomez: If someone enters the country illegaly, the person cannot even overstay because there is no record of him or her in the states. The lawyer is referring to those who entered legally and have overstayed their i-94. However, she is mixing things up because overstay is not a crime once u marry a USC. U do not need a waiver and u do not need consular processing to get a green card. U only need a waiver if ur married to a GC holder or u have a USC parent but have overstayed ur i-94.

my wife came here on a visa but made a false statement on her visa(tourist) she did not intend to stay we meet through the church got married applied for green card and were denied i never received denial notice in mail with reason but do know it is because she said her live in boy friend at the time was her husband when applying form a tourist visa ( she did so because her actual husband was in USA via Mexico illegally and told her / ordered her to go to embassy with his brother and say he is your husband and get via so they would be in US together) so bottom line is she did what she was told by her husband and got the visa came here and divorced her husband and we meet. Now she forgot that she put that on her original via app when we went for interview it was bad. Seems like she commited fraud to obtain visa. Now we are married i am American born citizen and our app rejected and my wife is my life the gift from God ! In 54 years on earth my life was a mess and i was never stable and happy...now i am. What can we do now? Randy T

An immigration attorney informed me that even after a waiver, an I 601 A, and once oversees, the American embassy in that country can deny the petition that was approved here. Then what, stuck without authorization to re-enter. Thoughts? Thanks

Great question. Some misdemeanors are taken very seriously under immigration laws (e.g., child endangerment). A lawyer need to analyze the specific offense to determine whether it may interfere with naturalization's good moral character requirement.
