Florida Immigration Waiver Attorneys
One of the worst outcomes when submitting immigration applications is to find out you are “inadmissible to the United States.”
A person not eligible to be admitted into the United States or to adjust her status may obtain lawful admission by filing an application for waiver of the grounds of inadmissibility.
We have in-depth experience in this niche area of immigration law and have successfully represented individuals throughout the United States.

Here are the types of waivers we can help with:
- I-601 for crimes or overstaying
This waiver waives the “unlawful presence” and “misrepresentation” grounds of inadmissibility for foreign nationals who have a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent.
The foreign national must demonstrate that his/her U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent would suffer “extreme hardship” if they cannot be united.
Applicants must submit the I-601 application; a thorough and persuasively written extreme hardship statement; personal affidavits; and a comprehensive set of supporting documents to convince the consular officer that they will suffer more than the average person in the same situation. - I-601A overstay waiver for someone in the USA
Allows the spouse or spouses or children of US Citizens or lawful permanent residents to apply for a provisional waiver. This waiver is pursued for someone in the USA who has remained here unlawfully. USCIS requires showing that being separated from their U.S. citizen or U.S. lawful permanent resident spouse or parent would cause that U.S. citizen resident relative “extreme hardship”.Eligibility for this provisional waiver requires proof that you have a case pending with USCIS based on an approved immigrant visa petition and be physically inside the United States to file this I-601A waiver. - I-212 waiver for a removal for someone who was ordered removed or deported.

Cancellation of Removal
Cancellation of removal is an immigration relief from deportation. It allows for permanent residents and nonpermanent residents to apply before an immigration judge to adjust their status from that of deportable alien to one lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
The immigration will consider the following when determining whether to grant or deny an application:
- Continuous presence in the US for at least ten years
- Good moral character
- Family and community ties to the US
- Community service work
- No convictions of certain offenses that would make you inadmissible or deportable
- Possible deportation would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to your lawful permanent resident spouse, child, or parent.
