What is the I-601A Waiver?
The I-601A Waiver is a provisional waiver for inadmissibility due to unlawful presence under Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212(a)(9)(B), before leaving the United States to appear at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for an immigrant visa interview. To apply for the I-601A Waiver, visit the USCIS website.
The I-601A Waiver is conditional. If you have any other ineligibility, this Waiver is no longer valid. You must apply for a new Waiver.
For applicants who have an approved or pending I-601A waiver: If the petitioner or co-sponsor does not meet the financial requirements at the time the applicant appears for their interview at the U.S. Embassy, the I-601A waiver will be invalidated. It is very important that the petitioner or co-sponsor meet the financial requirements.
It is a waiver with certain grounds for inadmissibility. To obtain a waiver (Form I-601), you must apply through the USCIS website.
It is a waiver to re-enter and reapply for admission to the United States after deportation. To obtain a re-entry permit (Form I-212), you must apply through the USCIS website.

Types of immigration violations that may result in a waiver
- Entering the United States illegally
- Misusing a visa
- Lying on an immigration form
It is important to remember that the approval of a waiver is discretionary and the legal arguments presented will carry a lot of weight. That is why it is essential to have the help of a good, experienced immigration attorney.
U.S. immigration law is very flexible when it comes to remedying certain immigration violations. However, one should not be overconfident and assume that a waiver will be automatic. This is where people who are assisted by an attorney have a better chance of obtaining approval than someone who files on their own or with the help of a form-filler.

Benefits of applying for a waiver
Sometimes, applicants have immigration violations or criminal records that may temporarily or permanently prevent them from obtaining the requested immigration benefit. In certain cases, an immigration waiver helps overcome these impediments so that they can obtain permanent residence. A waiver is more than just filling out an application; it seeks to meet a series of requirements and standards of proof, carefully reviewing the information provided step by step to leave the immigration or criminal violation behind.
With the help of the internet, procedures are simpler.

Waiver for spouses and parents of residents or citizens
Most immigration procedures require a qualified family member and proof that this family member would suffer extreme hardship if the immigrant family member is not allowed to reside in the country. Immigration violations such as illegal presence, fraud, misuse of a visitor visa, and certain criminal records would require this waiver.
Waiver for bringing children illegally
Punishment for illegally bringing or having minor children brought into the country is very common at consulates. People sometimes think that because they did not physically bring their children or cross the border with them, the punishment does not apply to them, but this is not the case. Any act performed to help, assist, or encourage the illegal entry of their children into the United States is attributable to the parents. There is a waiver for this immigration violation, and it is required to demonstrate that the waiver is necessary for family reunification with the petitioner, who is most often a U.S. citizen child.

Waiver for the U Visa
It is true that the U visa is a very generous visa that waives most immigration and criminal violations. However, the waiver is not automatic and must be requested. In order to be forgiven, it is necessary to make the appropriate legal arguments for the offense to be forgiven. I have always told my clients, “An undeclared immigration or criminal violation is an unforgiven violation.” If the waiver within the U Visa is so generous, then why not use it correctly? Most U Visa applicants omit information that is essential for their residency to be approved in a clean and transparent manner. It is important to include any background information in the U Visa waiver to prevent the person from having problems in the future, especially when it is time to become a U.S. citizen.
