We represent clients seeking waivers of inadmissibility to overcome immigration bars and continue their immigration process. Certain immigration histories — such as unlawful presence, prior removal or deportation, misrepresentation, or other grounds of inadmissibility — can prevent an individual from obtaining a visa or green card unless a waiver is approved.
Waivers are highly discretionary and require strong legal analysis, careful documentation, and persuasive advocacy. At Ambrose Immigration Law, we help clients identify the correct waiver, prepare a compelling application, and present the strongest possible case for approval.
Form I-601 is used to request a waiver of certain inadmissibility grounds, such as:
This waiver generally requires showing that refusal of admission would result in extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative (usually a spouse or parent).
Form I-601A allows certain applicants who are physically present in the U.S. to apply in advance for a waiver of the 3-year or 10-year unlawful presence bar before departing for consular processing. This waiver:
Form I-212 is required when a person has previously been ordered removed, deported, or excluded and must obtain permission to reapply for admission to the United States.
Approval depends on a discretionary analysis of positive and negative factors, including the seriousness of prior violations, rehabilitation, family ties, and humanitarian considerations.
We represent conditional permanent residents seeking to remove conditions on their green cards through I-751 waiver filings. Normally, a conditional resident must file Form I-751 jointly with their U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse. However, if the marriage has ended, the spouse is unavailable, or there has been abuse or extreme hardship, the law allows certain individuals to request a waiver of the joint filing requirement.
These cases require careful legal analysis and strong documentation to demonstrate eligibility and credibility.We assist with:
