An immigration waiver is a legal remedy that allows individuals to overcome certain grounds of inadmissibility that might otherwise prevent them from entering or remaining in the United States. Waivers provide an opportunity to seek relief from specific, waivable immigration issues, including unlawful presence or entry, certain medical conditions, immigration-related fraud, minor criminal matters, or membership in certain organizations. Common waiver applications include Forms I-601, I-601A, I-602, and I-212.
We have a strong track record of securing approvals in hundreds of waiver cases. Waivers are highly discretionary and require strong legal analysis, careful documentation, and persuasive advocacy. At Ambrose Immigration Law, we work closely with you and your family to develop a tailored and persuasive waiver strategy that addresses your unique circumstances and strengthens your case for approval.

This waiver generally requires a showing that refusal of admission would result in extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative; however, the specific requirements may vary depending on the circumstances.
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:
