Steps
How We Will Evaluate Your Case
The I-601A waiver is used when the immigrant wishes to obtain his Permanent Residence and has NO criminal history or any cause of inadmissibility, being that the only fault is having entered the United States illegally or overstayed his visa.
Who Can Apply?
Only a USC United States Citizen or LPR Legal Permanent Resident Spouse or Parent of the immigrant is eligible to be the qualifying relative to apply for the Waiver. Those who have erratic entries and exits to the United States, those with previous deportations, and those who have committed serious crimes are not allowed to receive a waiver.
What Happens After My 1-601-a Forgiveness is Approved?
Once the provisional waiver is approved, the applicant must process their visa application and prepare for an interview at the U.S. consulate in their home country to complete the process of obtaining permanent residency.
Once you approve the pardon within the country, the consular process is done and you are given your appointment at the American Embassy, but the saying is easier than done.
Once the waiver is approved either by USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), the applicant must receive an information packet from the U.S. Embassy in their home country. The packet will instruct you to set up a new interview at the consulate. When you return from the interview you will be a legal permanent resident.
