I-212 Waiver Permission to Reapply to the U.S Attorney in Phoenix

I-212 Waiver – Permission to Reapply to the U.S Attorney in Phoenix

‍

When an immigrant is accused of fraud or misrepresenting information to get a visa or enter the U.S., that's called immigration fraud. If this happens, they might lose some benefits and could be at risk of being deported. To fix this and avoid being deported, they must fill out a form called I-212 with USCIS. This is known as a fraud waiver in immigration law. Being deported from the U.S. doesn't always mean you can never return. There are special exceptions, called discretionary waivers, in section I-212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that might apply to you.

What does an I-212 Waiver do?

‍

The I-212 form, officially called the "Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal," is used by people who have been deported but want to come back to the U.S. before their required time outside the country is up. If you're in this situation, you'll need an "I-212 Waiver."

‍

If you're deported from the U.S., the law often says you have to wait a certain amount before you can apply to return. The I-212 form lets you request a waiver of this waiting period, which means you could apply to return to the U.S. sooner. Depending on the specific rules that apply to you, this could be 5, 10, or even 20 years. 

‍

Essentially with the I-212 Waiver, you're asking the U.S. government to let you apply to come back before your required wait time is over. Coming back to the country before getting approval could lead to a permanent ban from entering.

Eligibility Requirements to File for a Waiver under I-212

‍

Applying for a waiver under I-212 isn't an option for everyone who's been deported. Also, if you've done something serious, like commit a crime, you might need to apply for another separate waiver to deal with the reason you were deported in the first place.

‍

An experienced immigration attorney in Phoenix can help determine if you can apply for an I-212 waiver. If you can, you'll need to gather as much information as you can to try and convince the judge to let you apply to come back to the U.S. Information that could be important and increase your chances of getting your application approved includes:

‍

• The paperwork from when you were deported.
• Proof that you're a good person and have been behaving well.
• Evidence that you were in the U.S. legally (like a visa) before you were deported.
• If applicable, proof that you've changed your ways since you were deported.
• Evidence that it would be hard for you, your relatives who are permanent residents, or your employer if you can't come back to the U.S.
• Proof that you have family living in the U.S.
• A strong chance that you'll be able to become a permanent resident soon.
• No reasons that would stop you from becoming a permanent resident.

‍

Your lawyer will talk to you about the specific proof you need to provide to support your I-212 waiver application. Depending on your situation, you might need to fill out more forms to remove other obstacles to returning to the U.S.
