In order to apply for a waiver, you are going to need to have a family member that we refer to as a qualifying family member. Not all relationships qualify for this waiver. If you must apply for a waiver to reenter the United States and you do not want to spend more than10 years in your country, you are going to have to be petitioned for by your spouse – a US citizen or legal permanent resident or your parent. If you have a child that is petitioning for you, you won’t be able to do a waiver based on this relationship. Make sure to consult an attorney before moving forward in the process.
