Immigration waivers
Removal of Entry Bans to the U.S. for Immigration Purposes

There are numerous reasons why a visa applicant may be deemed ineligible to receive an immigration visa to the United States. 

The most common reasons include:

  • A criminal history of the applicant;
  • Committing fraud in obtaining a U.S. visa, or providing false information;
  • Previous unlawful presence in the U.S.;
  • Drug use or trafficking;
  • Accelerated deportation from the U.S.
Grounds for Requesting an Immigration Waiver

U.S. immigration law provides several grounds for requesting an exceptional permission to enter the U.S. for immigration purposes (immigration waivers). Often, applicants must prove the existence of “extremely serious circumstances” that could affect a U.S. citizen or permanent resident if their relative, who is subject to an entry ban, is not granted permission to enter. These circumstances can include serious medical and psychological problems, severe financial hardships, as well as family and social difficulties.

Other important factors considered when granting permission to enter the U.S. for immigration purposes include:

1. Close Family Ties in the U.S.

2. The Applicant's Age and Length of Residence in the U.S.

3. Possible Negative Effects on a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident Relative Due to the Applicant’s Absence

4. Social, Economic, and Property Ties to the U.S.

5. The Applicant’s Past Contributions to U.S. Society
