United States Visa and Immigration Waivers

 

If an individual is denied entry into the United States, they are considered "inadmissible." In certain situations, however, it is possible to request legal permission to enter the U.S. This process is known as applying for a waiver. 

 

Why Might a Waiver Be Needed?

• Past criminal history

• Overstaying a visa

• Security or immigration violations

• Fraud or dishonesty

 

Common Types of Waivers

• Waivers for Temporary Visits to the U.S.

• Waivers Based on Extreme Hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident

• Waivers for Old or Minor Offenses

• Waivers for Immigration Violations

​​

• Form I-212 – Permission to Reapply for Admission After Deportation or Removal

• Section 212(d)(3) – Waiver for temporary travel to the U.S.
