For many immigrants who entered the US unlawfully or overstayed a visa, the path to a green card can seem out of reach. Leaving the US to attend a consular interview often triggers a 3- or 10-year reentry bar, separating families and disrupting lives. That’s where the I-601A waiver comes in.
At the Law Office of Roxanne Rochester, we help individuals avoid the 10-year bar with I-601A by guiding them through every step of the provisional unlawful presence waiver process. With compassion and precision, our legal team works to reunite and keep families together.
The I-601A waiver is also known as the provisional unlawful presence waiver, allows specific people who are not eligible for a green card because of their illegal presence to ask for a waiver before departing the US for their international immigrant visa interview.
This waiver is most commonly used by people who apply for a green card through a US citizen or any lawful permanent resident spouse or parent, and who would otherwise face a 10-year bar upon leaving the country. With an approved I-601A, you can attend your consular interview abroad and return lawfully to the US much faster and with less risk of separation.
You may qualify for the waiver if:
Whether you’re applying for an immigration waiver for a spouse or another qualifying family member, working with an experienced I-601A waiver attorney can remarkably improve your chances of success.
We start the process with a confidential consultation to understand your immigration background and family situation. We’ll be investigating your case, modifying our strategy, and to ensure that the I-601A processing timeline satisfies the needs of your family.
This is considered to be the most crucial part of the application. We help you build a powerful case by gathering financial records, medical evidence, emotional and psychological reports, and affidavits that show the hardship your loved one would face without you.
We prepare and submit a complete, persuasive I-601A packet to USCIS. Our expert team members handle everything, so you can focus on your family, not the paperwork.
When you’re facing separation from loved ones, the last thing you need is uncertainty. We bring clarity, confidence, and commitment to your immigration journey.
No waiver is guaranteed, but with a strong hardship argument and an experienced I-601A waiver attorney, your chances improve significantly.
If you or your spouse is worried about the consequences of unlawful presence, don’t wait until it’s too late. Let us help you avoid the 10-year bar with I-601A and stay on the path to legal residency.
