I-601A Provisional Waivers: Expanded Coverage



Former INS Trial Attorney Carl Shusterman explains how to qualify for the upcoming I-601A expanded Provisional Waiver program. Schedule a legal consultation at http://shusterman.com/schedule-immigration-consultation.html

I-601A Provisional Waivers, which allow immediate relatives of US citizens to apply for waivers of the 3 and 10 year unlawful presence bars without having to leave the US were made possible by President Obama in 2013.

In 2014, the President proposed expanding coverage of I-601A Provisional Waivers to adult sons and daughters of US citizens as well as to spouses and unmarried sons and daughters of lawful permanent residents.

The President also requested that the USCIS clarify what is constitutes "extreme hardship".

The expanded coverage for I-601A Provisional Waivers will become available only after the USCIS issues regulations.  This may occur either in 2015 or 2016.
