Nonimmigrant Visa Waivers

Our law firm has experience guiding clients through the complex and often confusing challenges involved in nonimmigrant visa waiver cases.

If you are inadmissible to the United States because of a prior immigration violation, criminal conviction, unlawful presence, misrepresentation, or another immigration concern, please contact us today. You may be eligible to request a nonimmigrant visa waiver.

A nonimmigrant visa waiver may waive certain grounds of inadmissibility and allow you to enter the United States temporarily for an approved purpose, such as visiting, studying, working, or conducting business.

Can grounds for inadmissibility be waived?

Many grounds of inadmissibility may be waived through a nonimmigrant visa waiver. However, the waiver must first be reviewed and approved by the proper immigration authority.

Approval is not automatic. Immigration officials may consider the reason for your travel, the seriousness of the inadmissibility issue, your immigration history, your criminal history if applicable, and whether your entry would create any risk to the United States.

If you are applying for lawful permanent residence, you may also be able to seek immigration waivers for certain criminal conduct, prior immigration violations, unlawful presence, fraud, or other inadmissibility issues. In some cases, this may require proving hardship to a qualifying spouse or parent who is a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident.

We handle immigration waiver cases for clients worldwide. Our team has many years of experience helping individuals and families evaluate difficult immigration issues and pursue the best available solution.
