If you were outside the U.S. for 10 years, the bar to your admissibility has expired, and you should not need any waiver. In any case, no waiver is available to you. If you son files an immigrant petition for you, you will be called to a U.S. Consulate or Embassy for an interview. At that interview, you should have evidence of your physical presence outside of the U.S. for the last 10 years. I you convince the consular officer that you were out of the U.S. for 10 years (and if you have no other problems making you ineligible to be admitted to the U.S.), an immigrant visa will be issued to you. Now, you need to know that a decision of the consular officer is final and cannot be appealed to any court. So, when you go to that interview, make sure that you are as ready as you can be.

The Form G-325A Biographic Data form is just one of many documents needed in a family-related immigration application process. This is an elementary part of the application process, and it would be wise for you and your wife to engage an immigration attorney, who, after learning all of the relevant details about you, your wife, your marriage and your pending application, could advise you about any other problems that may cause delay in your case and could advise you about any other eligibilities, options and strategies for enabling your wife to come to the U.S. at the earliest possible time.
