FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will I need to travel outside of the country? 
The Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver allows someone to await the decision on the waiver in the United States rather than in their home country. While the applicant will have to travel to their country once the waiver is approved and appear for an interview at the consulate, the person would not travel until their waiver is approved. This means a much shorter time in their country and that the applicant would appear at the consular process with much of the process complete.

What do I need to prove to obtain the Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver?
The Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver requires the applicant to prove extreme hardship to their United States Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident Spouse or Parent. This often entails submitting specific documents and a detailed statement explaining the extreme hardship that exists in the particular case. The hardship may be medical, emotional or psychological.

Do I need to have a relative to obtain a waiver or can I apply on my own?
The answer to this varies on the type of waiver. However, the majority of waivers requires one to have a qualifying relative (generally a spouse or parent) that is a United States Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident or at the very least equities in the United States.
