Is a child eligible for a 212(d)(3) visa waiver if they have been deemed inadmissible?

Yes, a child can be eligible for a 212(d)(3) visa waiver if they have been deemed inadmissible. The 212(d)(3) visa waiver is available to those individuals who have been found to be inadmissible to the United States, but are deemed to be otherwise eligible for a nonimmigrant visa. The 212(d)(3) waiver is issued on a case-by-case basis and can be granted for humanitarian purposes, to ensure family unity, or when the denial of the visa would result in extreme hardship. In Alaska, minors who are inadmissible can still receive a visa waiver if they meet certain criteria. If a minor under the age of 18 has been deemed inadmissible, the minor must demonstrate that their entry into the country would not pose a risk to public safety or national security. Additionally, a minor must show that they are in need of immediate medical care, or that their presence in the United States would be beneficial to their family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Although the 212(d)(3) visa waiver is not automatic, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will consider individual factors such as family ties to the U.S. and the hardship that would be faced if the visa was not granted. All individuals, regardless of age, must demonstrate that they are not a risk to public safety or national security in order to be considered for a visa waiver.
