Immigration Has No Borders
Welcome to the “I-212 Applications for Permission to Reapply for Admission” page at The Ahluwalia Firm- Immigration & Nationality Law Attorneys. If you have been previously deported, removed, or are subject to a bar to re-entry into the United States, the I-212 waiver application can be your solution to overcome these barriers and seek permission to return. Our team of experienced immigration attorneys specializes in assisting individuals and families in navigating the complex process of I-212 waiver applications.
If you have been deported, removed, or have voluntarily departed the United States while subject to an outstanding order of removal, you may be subject to a bar on re-entry. The I-212 waiver application, formally known as the Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal, allows certain individuals to request consent to seek admission to the U.S. despite their previous immigration history.
Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for an I-212 waiver, applicants must demonstrate compelling reasons for their return to the United States, typically showing that their U.S. citizen or permanent resident family members would experience extreme hardship if they are not allowed to return.
Re-Entry Bar: The I-212 waiver addresses the re-entry bar created by previous deportation, removal, or voluntary departure while subject to an order of removal.
Consent: If USCIS approves the I-212 waiver, it provides consent for the applicant to reapply for admission to the United States, but it does not guarantee approval of a subsequent visa or admission.
I-212 waivers offer several advantages for eligible individuals and their families:
Opportunity for Return: Allows individuals to seek permission to return to the United States and reunite with their U.S. citizen or permanent resident family members.
Extreme Hardship Mitigation: Addresses the extreme hardship that family members would face if the applicant is not allowed to return, helping to mitigate the impact of the re-entry bar.
Path to Reconciliation: Provides a legal pathway for individuals to reconcile their immigration status and potentially pursue lawful permanent residency in the future.
