Do I need an unlawful presence waiver (I-601 Waiver)?

August 7, 2013 Judith Simms

You may need an I-601 waiver to waive your unlawful presence if you are married to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident or your US citizen child who is over 21 wants to file for you and you have unlawful presence.  Unlawful presence starts from the time that you have overstayed your visa, or from when you entered the country by just crossing the border without a visa.  Read on for more information...

Many of my Bronx clients want to know how to get a green card for different family members.  Non-immediate family members like cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles etc. are all parts of our extended family that we want to help.  Although you will not be able to directly petition for them, you can let them know how they can legally come to the US to live.
