Forgiveness within the United States

Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Many people ask about this. Lawyers talk about the famous in-country waiver. What is it? Who is it for? Do you qualify? Can you use it? I will answer all these questions below.

Forgiveness within the country

Forgiveness within the United States forgives only two things: undocumented entry and undocumented stay.
It does not forgive deportation, it does not forgive fraud, it does not forgive crimes. This forgiveness is as a form "I601A"also known as the "Obama Waiver", Obama's pardon.

Previously, if for example, you were asked by a U.S. citizen spouse and you had entered undocumented, you had to leave the U.S. and ask for a waiver outside the country. The problem is, you had to wait possibly up to a year until you were approved for that waiver. No one wanted to leave for a year, so they left their cases halfway through.

However, President Obama changed everything. Now, people can ask for that pardon inside the United States. They wait inside the country for approval, and when they go to the American Embassy they have the pardon approved.  

Combining forgiveness

Forgiveness cannot be asked on the basis of children, which is a great hardship for many people. It can only be asked on the basis of parents and spouses. What can be asked is combining forgiveness. By example: you can ask for a child, and you ask for forgiveness on the basis of the parents or the wife. Se combinations are allowed, including with the work requestsas you may ask for a company and you ask for forgiveness on the basis of a parent or a spouse. Here, then, it is very much more easier than if he asks you for a child, because then there are no questions about your marital status.

This combination works very well only if you have a U.S. citizen or resident parent or spouse. Otherwise, we will have to look for other combinations. And there are: the combination with the "245I"with the armed forces, with the U Visaetc.

What is the strategy or combination that works for you? That's what we can decide together.

Recommendations

In-country pardons are currently taking 17 to 22 months. This means that they can take up to almost two years. Why is everything taking so long? Because they did not authorize the fee increase to Immigration.

Remember: we can work together, develop the best combination or strategy for you to be able to reach a residency, do the waiver within the United States or another combination.
