General Qualifications for an I-601a Waiver

Written By Kyndra L Mulder, Esquire Google User

The I-601A, also known as a provisional unlawful presence waiver, is a benefit offered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to certain immigrants. Here's a breakdown of what it is and who might use it:

  • Waiver for unlawful presence: This waiver applies to people who are inadmissible because they haven't maintained legal status in the U.S., such as overstaying a visa.

  • For qualifying relatives of U.S. citizens or green card holders: If you have a spouse, parent or child who is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you may be eligible.

  • Apply while in the U.S.: This is a key advantage. You can apply for the waiver while you are still physically present in the United States.

  • Attend green card interview abroad: If your waiver is approved, you can attend your green card interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country.
