Undocumented foreign nationals living with a U.S. citizen spouse or relative must typically return to their country of origin while waiting for approval of a visa that will allow them to re-enter the U.S. and live with family.
This separation period can take many months, which can result in severe hardship for everyone involved. However, you can accelerate the process with an immigration waiver.
Our team of immigration attorneys is here to help you achieve your own version of the American Dream. If you are interested in learning more about how a waiver could help you and your family, contact our office today.
Immigration law provides an I-601 waiver option, which will allow you to remain in the U.S. while awaiting approval. Under these relatively new laws, you may only be required to return to your country of origin for as little as two or three weeks while your visa is being processed.
These waivers are not available to everyone, however. The petitioner must be married to a U.S. citizen living in the U.S., in order to qualify. Having a child or parent who is a citizen will not suffice.
