Who need immigrant Waiver?
Some individuals are not eligible to be admitted to the United States as an immigrant or to adjust status in the United States. The INA §212(a) identifies a long list of grounds of inadmissibility. If the issue the foreign national faces is not found in INA §212, then it’s not a ground of inadmissibility. Before the issue of admissibility or inadmissibility can be addressed, the applicant must demonstrate that he or she is eligible for visa classification. If an applicant is not eligible for a certain visa no issue of inadmissibility exists. Once the applicant is eligible for a visa or adjustment of status the appropriate waiver could be considered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: After I have obtained non-immigrant waiver will I have any problems to come back?
A: The waiver gives you the right to board a US-bound flight from an overseas departure point but it by no means guarantees your admission once you land and present yourself for inspection to the CBP officer at the US airport or POE. While your case will be considered with some sympathy due to the consulate having granted you a waiver, you will still be thoroughly questioned and to be admitted must convince the officer of your intent to depart after a temporary visit.
