Are there any special considerations for a child to obtain a provisional waiver of inadmissibility?

Yes, there are special considerations for a child to obtain a provisional waiver of inadmissibility in Rhode Island. For example, if the child is a minor (under the age of 21) and is the beneficiary of a family-based visa petition or I-130 petition, he or she may be eligible for a provisional waiver of inadmissibility. Additionally, if the child is a lawful permanent resident (LPR) and is the beneficiary of a visa petition, he or she may also be eligible for a provisional waiver of inadmissibility. In order for the child to be eligible for a provisional waiver of inadmissibility, the child must provide evidence that his or her departure from the United States would cause extreme hardship or “exceptional and extremely unusual” hardship to a qualifying relative. Qualifying relatives include either the child’s parent, spouse, or child who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Hardship to the child himself or herself does not qualify as extreme or exceptional hardship. In addition, the child must meet the admissibility requirements under U.S. immigration law. This means that he or she cannot be inadmissible due to a criminal conviction, an immigration violation, or any other factor. The child must also be up-to-date on all required vaccinations or submit an approved waiver from the state of Rhode Island. In order to obtain the waiver, the child must properly file Form I-601A, fill out any supplemental forms, and pay the required filing fees. It is important to note that if the provisional waiver is approved, the child must still go to a U.S. consulate abroad for an immigrant visa interview before returning to the United States.
