How can I get a waiver of inadmissibility?

In Massachusetts, family members of United States citizens can usually receive waivers of inadmissibility for certain immigration issues. Waivers of inadmissibility are available for a variety of reasons, but most commonly, they are granted for health-related concerns, criminal convictions, or other immigration violations. In order to apply for a waiver of inadmissibility, family members of U.S. citizens must first gather the necessary documents and fill out form I-601. This form is available online and must be filled out completely and accurately. The form requires details such as name and date of birth, reason for inadmissibility, and evidence and explanation to support the waiver request. The next step is to submit the completed form to Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) along with the supporting evidence. The family member must also provide any additional information that may be relevant to the waiver request. If granted, a waiver of inadmissibility clears the U.S. citizen’s family member to live and work in the United States. If the waiver is denied, family members may appeal the decision or reapply with additional information or evidence. However, the decision to grant or deny a waiver is ultimately up to CIS. It is important to note that waivers of inadmissibility do not automatically guarantee admission into the United States. The final decision is made by the relevant immigration authorities.

Si usted o un familiar cercano son inadmisibles para la residencia permanente en el estado de Massachusetts, es posible que pueda solicitar una exención o “waiver”. Esto significa que el gobierno puede eximir a la persona de los requisitos de inadmisibilidad bajo ciertas circunstancias. Para recibir una exención, normalmente debe cumplir con varios criterios. Primero, debe probar que una exención le beneficiaría a usted, a su cónyuge o a los hijos. Esto significa mostrar cómo su ausencia puede causar una “hardship” o inconveniente severo para la familia. Esto puede incluir la discapacidad, dificultades financieras o riesgo de persecución. Además, debe demostrar que cumple con los criterios de elegibilidad para la exención. Esto puede incluir documentar un historial de trabajo exitoso, cumplimiento con la ley, o servicio militar. Otros requisitos de exención también se aplican. Finalmente, se debe completar y presentar una Solicitud de Exención de Inadmisibilidad (Formulario I-601) al US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Si su solicitud de exención es denegada, todavía puede apelar la decisión. Al hacer una solicitud de exención, es importante consultar a un abogado calificado para asegurarse de que presenta la solicitud correctamente.
