Is a child eligible for an immigrant waiver of inadmissibility if they are in removal proceedings?

Yes, a child is eligible for an immigrant waiver of inadmissibility if they are in removal proceedings in Ohio. An immigrant waiver of inadmissibility is a way for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to forgive certain violations of U.S. immigration law. If approved, the waiver allows the child to stay in the United States even though they are in removal proceedings. The first step in requesting an immigrant waiver is to determine if the child is eligible. To be eligible for a waiver, children must meet certain criteria, which may include having a qualifying relative who is a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident, or other factors. They must also have enough ties to the U.S. that qualify them for deferred action. Once the child has established that they are eligible, they must submit their application along with all necessary supporting documentation and evidence to the DHS. This includes a statement of hardship and supporting documents such as photographs, letters of reference, and any other evidence that will help support their case for a waiver. If the waiver is approved, it will allow the child to stay in the United States, even though they are in removal proceedings. An approved waiver allows them to remain in the U.S. and be eligible to receive certain benefits, such as work authorization. To remain in the U.S., the child must follow the terms and conditions of their waiver.

La respuesta a la pregunta sobre la posibilidad de un niño de recibir una exención de inadmisibilidad inmigratoria si está en procedimientos de deportación depende de los hechos y circunstancias individuales de cada caso. El niño, dependiendo de su edad, puede calificar para una exención de no aplicación de la ley para niños inmigrantes no acompañados (UAC, por sus siglas en inglés). Esto significa que el niño está exento de todas las leyes de inmigración, incluida la inadmisibilidad. Por otro lado, si el niño no cumple los requisitos para calificar para la UAC, es posible que aún pueda calificar para una exención de inadmisibilidad basada en la equidad. Si el niño se encuentra en esta situación, debe presentar una Solicitud de Exención de Inadmisibilidad basada en la Equidad (Formulario I-601A) al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos. Esta solicitud permite al niño solicitar discreción discrecional en sus procedimientos de remoción. Si presenta una solicitud y es concedida, el niño recibirá un hábeas corpus temporal para la condición permanente de residente. La forma de aprovechar estas exenciones de inadmisibilidad varía según el estado, por lo que es importante que tanto el niño como sus tutores legales consulten con un abogado de inmigración calificado en Ohio para obtener una asesoría adecuada.
