ILRC published an updated Practice Advisory for the I-601A Provisional Waiver. The I-601A provisional waiver is an inadmissibility waiver for certain individuals who would be subject to the three- or ten-year bars for having accrued unlawful presence if they depart the United States.
In August 2016, USCIS updated the I-601A Provisional Waiver process. Now anyone who is statutorily eligible for a waiver of unlawful presence can use the I-601A process to waive the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility found at INA §212(a)(9)(B). The biggest change to the I-601A Provisional Waiver is the expansion to include applications from beneficiaries of all visa categories (not just those with U.S. citizen immediate relatives) who can show hardship to an LPR spouse or parent, in addition to U.S. citizen spouse or parent qualifying relatives. The applicant is still required to have an approved immigrant visa petition.
Please note that there have been no changes to I-601A Provisional Waiver process made by President Trump's executive orders.
