Document:
This type of waiver is available for someone seeking admission to the U.S. for a short stay after being deported due to a criminal conviction or having committed fraud to receive a prior immigration benefit, as two examples. The §212(d)(3) waiver allows nonimmigrant applicants to overcome most grounds of inadmissibility found in Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) §212(a). If you are eligible for a nonimmigrant visa, the §212(d)(3) waiver can provide a short-term solution to a possibly long-term and burdensome separation from family, friends, and/or business associates.
Who needs a §212(d)(3) nonimmigrant waiver?
In contrast to immigrant applicants who seek permanent residency in the U.S., nonimmigrant applicants are foreign nationals who wish to enter the U.S. on a limited basis. Nonimmigrant applicants who are inadmissible but seek to visit the U.S. for a short period of time should consider the §212(d)(3) waiver, particularly when an immigrant waiver is unavailable.
Our immigration attorneys have years of experience working on immigrant and nonimmigrant waivers. We understand your concerns when seeking assistance with your immigration case, and we can provide an honest and thorough evaluation of your particular situation.
What do I need to seek this type of waiver?
Generally, the §212(d)(3) waiver accompanies a specific type of nonimmigrant visa, such as a tourist visa (e.g., B-1/B-2), a student visa (e.g., J-1), or a work visa (e.g., H-1B). Attorney Goldstein has years of experience helping families apply for a wide range of visas, and he can help determine if you require a waiver when applying for a qualifying nonimmigrant visa.
