What is an Unlawful Presence Waiver?

An Unlawful Presence Waiver is a form of immigration waiver that is designed to help individuals who have stayed in the United States without permission to remain in the country without fear of deportation. The waiver can allow an individual to remain in the country even if they have overstayed a visa or are otherwise ineligible for a green card. In North Dakota, this particular waiver is used by individuals who have been in the United States for more than a year without permission but do not face any criminal charges or pose a security threat. In order to receive an Unlawful Presence Waiver, applicants must demonstrate “extreme hardship” to their family if they were to be deported. This can include demonstrating an inability to support their family or knowledge of a language or culture that would not be available to them outside the United States. In North Dakota, the Unlawful Presence Waiver can be a crucial tool for individuals who have overstayed their visas and are desperate to remain in the United States with their loved ones.

Una exención de presencia ilegal es un documento legal emitido por el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos que otorga a una persona el beneficio de la exención de su presencia ilegal en el país. Esto significa que si una persona ha estado presente en los Estados Unidos sin autorización o visa válida, el gobierno federal puede considerar su petición para evitar su deportación. La exención de presencia ilegal se otorga generalmente a aquellos que tienen familiares que son ciudadanos estadounidenses o que tienen una visa válida para ingresar al país. Los individuos que desean solicitar un Documento de Exención de Presencia Ilegal deben presentar una solicitud junto con documentación que demuestre una relación significativa con un ciudadano estadounidense o un residente permanente. Esto incluye documentos que demuestren el parentesco, la identificación y los medios de subsistencia. El proceso puede ser largo y complicado. Sin embargo, si una persona es elegible, puede recibir la exención de presencia ilegal y evitar la deportación.
