Immigration Legal Pardon - Waiver

Immigration Legal Pardon - Waiver

The process of Immigration Pardon or Legal Waiver allows different types of American Visa applicants who have a criminal record in the United States to fix their immigration status and obtain a Visa to return to the United States.

There are two types of forms for requesting the Immigration Waiver: I-212 Form to request permission to return to the United States after Deportation, and the second is the I-601 Form to request the Legal Waiver for certain inadmissibility.

Each particular case is very different. For that reason, at MEXUS, we provide you with complete advice on the differences of each form since the requirements and instructions for each one are complex, and without the correct help of an immigration expert, you could make several mistakes and not obtain the Legal Pardon Waiver.

I-212 FORM permission request to return to the United States after Deportation.

The I-212 form may be processed by two different agencies: Either USCIS Department (US CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES) or the CBP Department (CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION), since the process is different for Immigrant Visa or Non-Immigrant Visa.

When is it addressed to the USCIS Department?

The I-212 form must be addressed to the USCIS Department when applying for an Immigrant Visa or a Non-Immigrant Visa but later applying for immigrant status.

When is it addressed to the CBP Department?

The I-212 form must be addressed to the CBP Department when requesting a Nonimmigrant Visa and not applying for Immigrant Status later. For example:

The K-type Fiancé Visa is a NON-Immigrant Visa, but once the Visa is approved and obtained, the process to adjust immigration status continues in the United States.

When there is a prior criminal record and inadmissibility, the I-212 form should be addressed to CBP. In addition, it will be necessary to attend an interview at the American Consulate.

I-601 Form, request for Legal Waiver to correct certain inadmissibility's.

For the I-601 Form to USCIS, the applicant must leave the United States to continue this immigration process. But it depends on each particular case as there are exceptions.

When presenting an I-601 form, the reason for the inadmissibility must be marked, as there are different types of inadmissibilities.

Also, evidence, documents, and information must accompany the I-601 form.
