The Provisional Waiver Process
An individual with over 180 days of unlawful presence normally faces a three- or ten-year re-entry bar. This bar starts when they leave the U.S. for their immigrant visa interview abroad. The Provisional Waiver lets eligible people get this waiver before they leave the country.
To qualify, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident’s spouse or child. They must prove that their relative would suffer “extreme hardship” if the waiver is denied. This hardship claim is the core of the application. It requires a lot of evidence, including documents about the relative’s physical and mental health. The process also considers financial and other personal hardships.
After the Provisional Waiver is approved, the applicant can attend their visa interview at a U.S. consulate. This greatly reduces the risk of a re-entry bar. A successful interview leads to the immigrant visa. This visa allows the person to enter the U.S. as a new legal permanent resident. The entire process shows that legal help and a well-documented case are very important.
