Pardons and Waivers

Certain immigration violations or prior conduct may make an individual inadmissible to the United States or otherwise affect eligibility for an immigration benefit. Depending on the circumstances, a waiver may be available for issues such as unlawful presence, certain misrepresentations or fraud, and some criminal grounds of inadmissibility.

Our firm evaluates each client’s immigration and personal history to determine whether a waiver may be available and what legal standard must be met. Because waiver eligibility and the evidence required can vary significantly depending on the underlying ground of inadmissibility, we carefully assess each case before filing.

When a client qualifies for a waiver, we assist with preparing the necessary applications, legal arguments, and supporting evidence. This may include documentation of family relationships, hardship to qualifying relatives, rehabilitation, humanitarian considerations, and other favorable factors relevant to the application.

For additional information regarding the Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, please visit the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.
