Protect Your Status and Overcome Immigration Challenges
If your immigration application has been denied or you face potential removal, you may still have options. Immigration appeals and waivers allow you to challenge an adverse decision or overcome grounds of inadmissibility. At The Law Firm of Alhasan Mahmood PLLC, we guide clients through the complex appeals process and help them pursue waivers to stay in the United States.
What Are Immigration Appeals?
An immigration appeal is a formal request to have an adverse decision reviewed and potentially overturned. Common appeals include:
- BIA Appeals (Board of Immigration Appeals) – For decisions made in immigration court.
- USCIS Appeals – For denials of immigration benefits like green cards or work permits.
- Motions to Reopen or Reconsider – For cases where new evidence or a legal error may affect the outcome.
Understanding the BIA appeal processing time in 2025 and USCIS appeal processing time can be crucial, as deadlines are often strict and unforgiving.
What Are Immigration Waivers?
Immigration waivers are special requests to overcome specific grounds of inadmissibility, such as unlawful presence or certain criminal convictions. Common waivers include:
- Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver (Form I-601A) – Allows certain family members of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to avoid lengthy separation while applying for a green card.
- Waivers for Fraud or Misrepresentation (Form I-601) – For those deemed inadmissible due to previous immigration violations.
- Criminal Waivers – These are for individuals with certain criminal convictions that would otherwise prevent them from obtaining a visa or green card.
Understanding the provisional unlawful presence waiver processing time is critical, as these cases can take several months to resolve.
