What Is a Waiver of Inadmissibility?

Your visa or green card application may be denied due to one of several grounds of inadmissibility. But some of these factors can be dismissed with a waiver. Essentially, a waiver application is a request for USCIS to overlook or forgive your grounds of inadmissibility.

You may be able to file a waiver for the following grounds of inadmissibility:

• Health (e.g. communicable disease of “public health significance,” failure to show proof of vaccination for certain diseases, drug abuse/addiction, or a physical/mental disorder causing behavior that poses a threat to others)
• Crime (e.g. crimes involving moral turpitude, controlled substances, prostitution, trafficking, etc.)
• Security (i.e. terrorism, espionage, membership in a totalitarian party, participation in genocide or torture, etc.)
• Public charge (i.e. use of certain publicly funded benefits; possessing certain factors that lead USCIS to believe you are or will become a “public charge”)
• Labor certifications/qualifications (i.e. insufficient certifications or qualifications to justify hiring outside of the U.S.)
• Unlawful presence or entry (e.g. failure to attend a removal proceeding, violation of immigration orders, expired visas, entry without inspection, entry/presence after removal, etc.)

Who Can File Waivers of Inadmissibility?

Whether you can file the Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (Form I-601) depends on the type of immigration benefit you applied for, your current status, and your specific grounds of inadmissibility.

You may be able to obtain relief through a waiver for most grounds of inadmissibility if you are an applicant for:

• Temporary Protected Status
• A green card (if you are currently a T nonimmigrant visa holder)
• A green card (if you are currently a Special Immigrant Juvenile)

If you are applying for a green card, relief under VAWA, a K or V nonimmigrant visa, or an immigrant visa, you may be able to obtain a waiver of inadmissibility as well. Each class has its own unique restrictions, and our qualified waiver attorney can help you understand which path is best for your situation.
