Determining your eligibility for an immigration waiver involves a careful assessment of your individual circumstances, the specific grounds of inadmissibility you are seeking to overcome, and the type of waiver you are considering. Our qualified legal team can analyze and discuss your immigration history, goals, and any obstacles you may need to overcome via a waiver.

At Sartipi Law, we handle a variety of immigration waivers. Generally, this includes 601 waivers, 601A waivers, 212 waivers, Adam Walsh Act waivers, fiancé visa waivers, and national interest waivers. The 601 waiver is used to overcome various grounds of inadmissibility, such as criminal convictions, fraud or misrepresentation, and health-related issues. It is often used in family-based immigration cases. The 601A waiver is specifically for individuals who are subject to unlawful presences bars and are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. It allows them to apply for a waiver from within the U.S. before departing for their immigration visa interview abroad. The 212 waiver is for individuals who have been previously deported or removed from the U.S. and are seeking to reapply for admission after a specific period. The Adam Walsh Act waiver allows certain family members convicted of certain sex offenses, particularly those involving minors, to file a family-based petition. The fiancé visa waiver is a waiver that may be available in specific situations for individuals applying for a K-1 fiancé visa who have not met the two-year in-person meeting requirement. The national interest waiver allows certain foreign workers to apply for lawful permanent residency without the need for a job offer or labor certification, and without the typical employer sponsorship.

The processing time for an immigration waiver can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of waiver, the specific circumstances of the case, and the workload and processing times of the USCIS or other relevant government agencies. Additionally, if a Request for Evidence is issued (USCIS requesting more evidence for your waiver), this may add additional delay. Due to the variability in processing times, it’s essential to check the USCIS website or contact a member of our team directly for the most current information on processing times for your specific waiver application.
