Provisional Extensions

A person may need an exemption for many different reasons, such as being previously removed from the country or convicted of a crime, or just for having certain illnesses.

When a family member is classified as inadmissible or removable, that does not mean the situation is hopeless. It may be possible to request an immigration waiver from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Provisional waivers in Houston are available for individuals seeking an adjustment of status or other immigration benefits they would not otherwise qualify for. It is essential to understand which waiver applies and to follow the proper steps to submit it accurately. Monty & Ramirez can help guide you through the process.

USCIS Requests for Provisional Exemption for Most of Houston.

There are many ways of exemptions available, it depends on the reason for the inadmissibility and it depends on whether the inadmissible person is seeking to come to the United States temporarily on a non-immigrant basis or whether the inadmissible person is trying to come to the United States permanently.

Typically, it is more common for an inadmissible person who is eligible for an exemption to come to the United States temporarily, on an F-1 student visa or an H-1B professional worker visa. However, this is not always the case, and whether an exemption will be granted or not depends on many factors including who is applying for the exemption, the immigrant’s relationship to people in the United States, and the reason for inadmissibility.

Some of the many different cases of Immigration and National Acts (INA) exemptions include:

• A 212 (d) (3) (a) exemption for someone who has previously been removed from the United States and who is the person who is now seeking to come to the United States temporarily.
• A 212 (a) (9) (B) (v) exemption for someone who is the spouse, son or daughter of a United States citizen who is inadmissible because he or she was present in the United States illegally. A
• 121 (d) (3) (A) exemption for an individual who is seeking to come to the country temporarily and who is inadmissible based on a failure to attend a removal procedure.
• A 212 (h) exemption for an individual who is seeking permanent residence but is inadmissible based on a crime involving a breach of morals.

Choosing the correct exemption, completing all the required documentation, and properly submitting the exemption request can be very difficult. It is important to have a qualified attorney to advise you during the process so that you can have the best chance of the exemption being granted.
