Expert Advice On Immigrant Waivers In California

U.S. immigration law has strict rules that can make it difficult to secure a visa or permanent residence (green card). This is particularly true if you have immigration law or other violations. These barriers can stand in the way of your ability to secure a green card.

However, with the guidance of an experienced immigration lawyer, there are situations where you can seek a waiver. Waivers provide forgiveness for inadmissibility grounds. While these cases can be difficult, they can often be won, particularly for clients facing extreme hardship.

At the Law Office of Amie D. Miller, we work hard to find a pathway to legal status for people who have unlawful presence in the United States and other immigration barriers. I’m a Certified Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law through the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization with over 25 years of experience as a San Francisco immigration attorney. Our office has handled hundreds of green card and nonimmigrant visa waiver cases for clients throughout California and around the globe with a strong record of success. Consult with us to learn more about your immigration options.

Recognizing And Overcoming Immigration Problems

Many of the clients we work with may not realize they are facing an immigration challenge and the need to seek a waiver. If, for example, you previously overstayed a visa, you could face a three- or ten-year bar that would prevent approval of your adjustment of status application. Or, you may have unknowingly used a visa for a purpose that was not allowed. Once you suspect or have realized there may be a problem, it is important to seek legal guidance quickly and work with an immigration attorney you can trust.

Our office also represents clients seeking waivers for nonimmigrant visas. All waivers have strict eligibility criteria, and we can determine if you meet the waiver requirements and advocate for your visa approval.

Strengthening Your Immigration Case

We take the time to truly advocate for our clients. For many families, the removal or deportation of a loved one can cause extreme hardship, particularly if the person facing removal is the primary source of income and support.

If you’re in that situation, you can turn to us for an explanation of your options with regard to waiver eligibility. By analyzing your case, negotiating with immigration officials and working hard to seek relief, we can advocate on your behalf to make your case stronger. We will dig deep to pinpoint the underlying issues and assemble a personalized, detailed and thorough waiver application to make a powerful case on your behalf.
