I’ve heard of waiver programs for certain immigration issues—how do those work? Who qualifies for them?

Waiver programs are basically a way to ask for forgiveness if you’re considered inadmissible to the U.S. They’re for things like overstaying a visa, certain criminal records, or even health issues. You usually have to prove that denying you entry would cause extreme hardship to a family member who’s a U.S. citizen or green card holder

I’ve seen someone go through this—they had to apply for a waiver because of a past visa overstay. It wasn’t easy, but they showed how their family would suffer if they couldn’t stay in the U.S., and it worked out for them.

From what I know, waivers are for people who’ve been flagged as inadmissible for things like fraud or unlawful presence. You have to file specific forms, like the I-601 or I-601A, and show strong evidence of hardship to a qualifying relative

Waivers are tricky. They’re for people who’ve been told they can’t enter or stay in the U.S. because of something in their past. You need to prove that letting you stay is in the best interest of your family or that the issue isn’t as serious as it seems
