Immigration Law And Different Immigration Waivers
If you are facing deportation and a removal hearing, then an experienced immigration lawyer can help you determine whether you qualify for an immigration waiver like an I-212 waiver, an I-601 waiver or an I-601A temporary waiver. At the Canizares Law Group, LLC, in Miami, our immigration lawyers have decades of combined experience and work hard to keep families together and make American dreams come true. After all, our founding attorney, Claudia Canizares, was once an immigrant herself.
What Is An Immigration Waiver?
There are a number of reasons that an immigrant who is in the country illegally may not be allowed to remain in the United States. Some of these reasons include:
- Entering the country illegally
- Staying in the country illegally after a student or a work visa expired
- Facing criminal charges
Immigration laws in the United States require that if someone is in the country illegally, then they may be deported in what is now called a process of removal. In the event that an immigrant is forced to leave the country via deportation after a removal hearing or after they voluntarily departed the country, they may be eligible to apply for an immigration waiver. Waivers are excellent tools that can potentially allow families to reunite more quickly.
What Are The Different Types Of Immigration Waivers?
There are several different types of waivers, which include:
- I-601 waiver: This waiver is an option for immigrants whose relatives in the U.S. would be subjected to hardship if they were to be removed from the country.
- I-601A temporary waiver: This is a waiver for immigrants whose petition for an I-130 has been accepted, and it allows an immigrant to leave the country to complete the rest of their immigration requirements before returning to the U.S.
- I-212 waiver: This is a waiver for prospective immigrants who have been removed or deported from the U.S. that grants them the ability to reapply for permission to enter the country.
Based on the facts and circumstances of your specific situation, one of our experienced immigration lawyers can help determine if applying for a waiver is appropriate for your legal strategy.
