Our U.S. Immigration Office in Chicago Fights for You

Our Immigration Office in Chicago is on Your Side

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.

Filing for Waiver of Inadmissibility

The I-601 application may be filed when a foreign national is found ineligible for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status on a ground of inadmissibility. The foreign national must show that refusing admission will result in an extreme hardship.

Determination of whether it is an extreme hardship depends on the documentation that the applicant provides. Factors that may be used include:

It is at times like these that you need the help of our immigration office in Chicago, IL. We can help you put together a well-organized and detailed packet of documents to support your waiver application.

Filing for Readmission after Deportation or Removal

An I-212 application is required when an applicant has been removed and wants to apply to be readmitted into the United States. Factors likely to be weighed by USCIS include the applicant’s moral character, how recently the applicant was deported, the need for the applicant’s services in the United States, the length of time the applicant lived in the United States and what hardship the deportation would mean to the applicant or the applicant’s family. Other factors may include any evidence of reformation and rehabilitation.
