What is the process for obtaining a provisional waiver?

The process for obtaining a provisional waiver in California is a complex one. For an individual to be eligible for a provisional waiver, they must be an immediate relative of a United States citizen and be in the process of obtaining an immigrant visa. Additionally, they must demonstrate that the refusal of their admission to the United States would cause “extreme hardship” to their U.S. citizen family members. Once they have demonstrated their eligibility, they may apply to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in California for a provisional waiver. In the application they will need to provide detailed evidence showing the extreme hardship that may occur if the individual is not granted the waiver. This evidence can include medical records, financial statements, or other supporting documents. Once the application has been submitted, USCIS will review the evidence and make a determination of whether the individual qualifies for the waiver. If approved, the individual can then proceed with their visa application at the US Embassy or Consulate in their home country. Upon visa approval, the individual can then travel to the United States and will not be subject to the three or ten year bar of inadmissibility that they may have faced without the provisional waiver.

Si el solicitante se encuentra en los Estados Unidos, un abogado calificado en leyes de inmigración puede ayudar a preparar y presentar la solicitud.

Una vez que la solicitud se envió al USCIS, el gobierno determinará si el solicitante es elegible para una exención provisional. Si el gobierno encuentra que el solicitante es elegible, le enviará un paquete de documentos para que el aplicante envíe a la oficina consular que procesará su solicitud de exención de la visa. El paquete de documentos contiene todos los formularios, instrucciones y documentos relacionados con el procedimiento de exención provisional.
