Many immigrants facing deportation feel forced into an impossible decision: leave their family behind in the U.S. or uproot them to a country with fewer opportunities.
The U.S. government has laws that might help you get a green card. The I-601A waiver can help you get a green card even if you entered illegally and stayed undocumented.
Whether it’s a green card, waiver, or humanitarian relief, we’ll review your case and explain what’s possible.
The Waiver I-601A, also called the Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver, is a form of relief for immigrants who entered the U.S. without legal status. Normally, if you apply for a green card after living unlawfully in the country, you must leave the U.S. and face a 3- or 10-year bar before reentering.
The I-601A waiver helps eligible immigrants avoid this long separation by allowing them to request “forgiveness” for unlawful presence before leaving the U.S. for their green card interview abroad. If approved, you only need to travel outside the country briefly to finish the process, instead of being stuck away from your family for years.
To qualify, you must show that your absence would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent. This waiver is a crucial option for many families who want to stay together and secure legal status in the U.S.
Wondering if the I-601A Waiver is right for you? To help you determine if you qualify, ask yourself these questions:

An I-601A Waiver lets you get a green card even if you entered the U.S. illegally and stayed without legal status. This waiver allows you to ask immigration for forgiveness for breaking immigration laws before your interview, so you don’t have to spend years outside the country away from your family.
There is no set time limit to apply for an I-601A Waiver, but it’s better to apply as soon as possible.
