Waivers

If you have a criminal history, past immigration fraud, or other issues which prevent you from getting a green card or a visa, you may be eligible for a waiver to seek forgiveness for your misconduct. Similarly, if you are a green card holder and you are at risk to being deported, you may also be eligible to seek a waiver. Boyadzhyan Law specializes in waivers for “inadmissibility” or “removability” and has an exceptionally high success rate. Below are the various waivers/services in which Boyadzhyan Law can assist.

I-601 Fraud Waiver Under INA 212(i)

If you have previously committed immigration fraud or misrepresentation, you may be ineligible to receive a visa to enter the United States, apply for a green card, or not be allowed to reenter the United States after leaving. However, under INA Section 212(i), you may be eligible to receive a fraud waiver by filing Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or in Immigration Court if you are in removal proceedings. If your waiver is granted, any past fraud or willful misrepresentation for any future applications will be waived which would allow you to receive an immigration benefit such as a visa or green card.

I-602 Asylee/Refugee Waiver Under INA 209(c) 

The Form I-602 Asylee/Refugee Waiver allows an asylee or refugee who is “inadmissible” to the United States to file a waiver of the grounds of inadmissibility. An I-602 waiver is generally required in two scenarios: (i) if you are a refugee living abroad but your entry to the United States is blocked because of an inadmissible ground such as a past criminal history or fraud; and (ii) you are already in the United States as a refugee or asylee and you are seeking to apply for a green card (Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), but you are inadmissible. In order for your waiver to be granted, you must show strong humanitarian, family unity or public interest grounds (reasons) for why you are deserving of waiver.
