There are times when U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may refuse to allow entry to immigrants or non-immigrants. Typically, the consular officer informs them of the grounds for inadmissibility.
Both immigrants seeking permanent residency and non-immigrants wanting to visit the United States temporarily can apply for a waiver of inadmissibility. The likelihood of winning often depends on the specific grounds declared by immigration services. Success may lie in showing that you have ties to the United States and that allowing you entry will benefit the nation in some way.
Minsky, McCormick & Hallagan, P.C. can handle all types of waivers including I-601 and I-212 waivers and non-immigrant waivers.

An I-212 application is required when an applicant has been removed and wants to apply to be readmitted into the United States.

Other factors may include any evidence of reformation and rehabilitation.
