What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?

There are a wide range reasons why someone might be considered legally inadmissible to the United States, including public health issues, prior removals from the U.S., unlawful presence in the country, and a number of other reasons. If you or a loved one is found to be inadmissible, there may still be options available to you. Our experienced immigration attorneys at Eastbridge are committed to supporting individuals and families who face immigration challenges, and we can help you apply for an inadmissibility waiver to help you overcome this roadblock.


One type of inadmissibility waiver that our team has extensive experience with is the hardship waiver, which is designed to take into account the emotional, physical, and financial difficulties your loved ones could face as a direct result of your situation. We are also experienced in other types of inadmissibility waivers, including waivers of membership in a totalitarian party, waivers based on certain medical conditions, and more.


We understand how difficult it can be when you’re confronted with this sort of immigration challenge, and we know from experience that having the support of a capable and compassionate legal team can make all the difference. We’ll strive to ensure that you and your family receive the support you need to reach the best possible outcome. 


Our attorneys offer free initial evaluations over the phone, as well as longer, situation-specific paid appointments for more detailed guidance.

Types of Hardship Waivers

If your inadmissibility is due to unlawful presence in the U.S., misrepresentation or fraud, or crimes involving moral turpitude, then your case may be particularly challenging, because it involves violations of U.S. law. You must not only demonstrate the hardship your family would face in your absence, but also account for the actions that led to inadmissibility. At Eastbridge, we have guided many clients through this complex process, and are committed to helping you navigate these challenges. 

J-1 Foreign Residence Requirement Waivers 

If you have been living in the U.S. on a J-1 nonimmigrant visa , and you want to apply for a green card, then you will usually be required to return to your home country for two years before filing your application. However, if you have close family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and who would face hardship if you had to leave, then you may be eligible to apply for a Waiver of the Foreign Residence Requirement. While the eligibility criteria for this waiver are strict, the experienced attorneys at Eastbridge can review your situation to determine if your family’s circumstances meet the necessary requirements, and assist you throughout the rest of the filing process.
