Introduction
Welcome to The Deng Law Firm, your trusted partner in navigating the complex immigration process. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the I-601A waiver for unlawful presence, providing you with detailed information and expert guidance.
What is the I-601A Waiver?
The I-601A waiver, also known as the Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver, offers a pathway to lawful permanent residency for certain individuals who are spouses or children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents. This waiver allows eligible applicants to request forgiveness for their unlawful presence in the United States before leaving for their consular interview abroad.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the I-601A waiver, you must meet certain requirements:
- You must be an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
- You must be physically present in the United States.
- You must have an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.
- You must have a pending immigrant visa case with the Department of State.
- You must demonstrate extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse or parent if your waiver is not approved.
The Waiver Process
The process of obtaining an I-601A waiver involves several important steps:
1. Consultation with an Immigration Attorney
Before proceeding with the waiver application, it is crucial to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can assess your case and provide personalized guidance.
2. Gathering Supporting Documentation
Collecting the necessary supporting documentation is essential for a successful application. This includes evidence of your relationship with the qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident, proof of extreme hardship, and other relevant documentation.
3. Completing Form I-601A
The I-601A waiver application must be carefully completed and submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with the required filing fee.
4. Biometrics Appointment
Upon submitting your application, you will be scheduled for a biometrics appointment to provide your fingerprints, photograph, and signature.
