IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY LAURA LEON

Waivers
Immigrant applicants with adverse criminal or immigration history may be inadmissible for immigration pathways. However, many grounds of inadmissibility allow applicants to apply for a waiver; in other words, “forgiveness” from the U.S. government.
There are several reasons why an individual might be considered “inadmissible” to the United States, including:
- Health-related grounds: A person who has a communicable disease of public health significance, such as tuberculosis, may be found inadmissible.
- Criminal grounds: People who have committed certain crimes, such as drug trafficking or espionage, may be deemed inadmissible.
- Security grounds: An individual who is seen as a risk to national security or who has engaged in terrorist activities may be found inadmissible.
- Immigration violations: Individuals who have previously been deported from the U.S., who have committed immigration fraud, or those who have entered the U.S. illegally, may be deemed inadmissible
It’s important to note that the waiver process can be complex, and each application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. At Laura Leon Law PLLC, we help our clients navigate the waiver process by preparing and submitting the appropriate paperwork, gathering required documentation, and advocating on their behalf with USCIS. Our experience and expertise can make a significant difference in helping you obtain a favorable outcome.
