Immigration Waiver Applications
Overcoming Inadmissibility with Legal Help

If you or a loved one is facing inadmissibility to the United States, you may still be eligible to remain in or return to the country by applying for an immigration waiver. At Powers Immigration Law, we assist individuals and families with a wide range of waiver applications, helping to overcome immigration barriers such as unlawful presence, criminal convictions, fraud, or prior immigration violations.

​

Our firm provides experienced legal guidance in preparing and submitting strong waiver applications, including the I-601 waiver and the I-601A provisional waiver, to increase your chances of success and protect your future in the United States.

Common Types of Immigration Waivers We Handle

  • I-601 Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
    For individuals outside the U.S. or those ineligible for an adjustment of status due to issues such as fraud, misrepresentation, certain criminal offenses, or immigration violations.

  • I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver
    For individuals who are unlawfully present in the U.S. but are applying for a green card through a relative. This provisional waiver allows applicants to seek forgiveness for unlawful presence before leaving the U.S. for consular processing.

  • Fraud or Misrepresentation Waivers
    For individuals found inadmissible due to using false documents or providing incorrect information to immigration authorities.

  • Criminal Grounds Waivers
    For applicants with past criminal convictions seeking forgiveness to obtain or maintain lawful immigration status.

  • Humanitarian Waivers
    For individuals requesting waivers under VAWA, U visa, or T visa categories due to being victims of abuse, trafficking, or serious crimes.

Who Qualifies for an Immigration Waiver?

Eligibility for a waiver depends on your specific circumstances, including the reason for inadmissibility and whether you have a qualifying relative—typically a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent—who would suffer extreme hardship if your waiver is denied.

​

Our job is to help you understand your options and build the strongest possible case with compelling evidence to support your waiver request.

Why Work with Powers Immigration Law?

Waiver applications are complex, and approval is never guaranteed. USCIS carefully reviews each case to determine whether a waiver should be granted. As an experienced immigration attorney, Tanya Powers has helped many clients overcome inadmissibility and move forward with confidence.

  • Evaluate your eligibility for a waiver

  • Guide you through the correct application process

Why Work With a Temporary Protected Status Attorney?

TPS cases can look straightforward at first, but many are not. Country-specific rules change. Deadlines can be easy to miss. Travel can create unexpected risks. Prior entries, old immigration filings, removal proceedings, and criminal history can all affect the strategy.

​

Working with a Temporary Protected Status attorney can help you:

  • understand whether you may qualify,

  • prepare a more organized filing,

  • avoid common mistakes,

  • evaluate risks before travel,

  • address prior immigration issues, and

  • plan for options beyond TPS.

Frequently Asked Questions About TPS

Does TPS lead directly to a green card?

No. TPS does not automatically lead to lawful permanent residence or citizenship. However, some people with TPS may have other immigration options available depending on their circumstances.

​

Can I work with TPS?

Many applicants may request employment authorization in connection with TPS. USCIS allows eligible TPS applicants to request a work permit.

​

Can I travel with TPS?

Travel may be possible with proper authorization, but it should never be assumed to be safe without reviewing the facts of your case and current USCIS guidance first.

​

Do all countries qualify for TPS?

No. TPS is only available for countries that have been designated by the U.S. government. USCIS maintains country-specific TPS pages and updates.

​

What if I missed a TPS deadline?

You should speak with an immigration attorney as soon as possible. Some situations may involve late initial filing arguments or other case-specific issues, but deadlines should always be taken seriously.

If you need help with a first-time TPS application, re-registration, employment authorization, travel questions, or understanding what other immigration options may be available, our office can help you evaluate the situation and move forward with a clearer plan.

​

Temporary Protected Status can be an important form of protection, but it should be handled carefully and with attention to both current eligibility requirements and long-term immigration strategy.
