Do I qualify for the final rule in the Federal Register “Provisional Unlawful Present Waiver of Inadmissibility for Certain Immigrant Relatives”?
Effective on March 4, 2013, USCIS will accept applications for the I-601A provisional unlawful presence waiver. This waiver will help to maintain family unity during the waiver process and reduced time spent outside of the United States by the applicant. An immediate relative (U.S. Citizen Spouse, Parents or Child under the age of 21) must meet the following criteria to qualify for the provisional waiver:
- Did you enter the United States illegally (Entry Without Inspection-EWI)?
- Are you presently undocumented or illegally present in the United States?
- Do you have a clean criminal record (note that even with a record you might still be able to file for this application)?
- Do you have an approved I-130 Petition or are you planning to file one?
- Will it be an extreme hardship on your US citizen spouse or parent if you have to leave the United States (note that hardships are determined on a case by case basis)?
- Are you not getting your permanent residence only because of illegal entry or unlawful presence?
If you answered “yes” to the questions above, you might qualify for the new I-601A Provisional Waiver Program. We recommend that you do not file a case until you consult with an experienced immigration attorney. Our law firm is now accepting cases for applications under this new rule, please call us at 212-344-3800 for more information.
