Vega, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

This is a very serious allegation. You must prove that you'll suffer extreme hardship as a matter of law and USCIS discretion with reliable and sufficient evidence. A 212(h) waiver, as it is called is also decided based a series of decisions at the Board of Immigration Appeals. She may only have one chance. I strongly recommend that you hire a competent and experienced immigration attorney to help you with the 212(h) waiver process. Good luck. The above is general Information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

If denied without fraud or deportation, you can apply for them and they may need a waiver if they were out of status long enough in the U.S. *Consulate Processing* Consulate Processing must be completed. This allows the petition to first be sent to the National Visa Center, and then the appropriate documents and package to go to the U.S. Consulate or Embassy. If done correctly, you will be able to enter as a Lawful Permanent Resident and will be in the U.S. in less than one year. Of course the time might be a bit less or more depending on the backlog of the U.S. Consulate or Embassy and whether or not a Waiver of Inadmissibility is needed. *Waiver of Inadmissibility* A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is an application that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits, declarations and other evidence. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the crime or ground of ineligibility disappear so that entry or re-entry will be allowed into the U.S. Please note that the Waiver is the critical part of this application, and unless approved, there cannot be any other petition that will allow entry into the U.S. Therefore, the Waiver must be prepared with significant supporting documents.
