Understanding Immigration Waivers in Virginia
Immigration waivers are legal petitions filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or an Immigration Judge to forgive a specific ground of inadmissibility that would otherwise bar you from obtaining a visa, green card, or admission to the United States. The legal authority stems from the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), specifically sections like 212(h) for certain criminal grounds and 212(i) for fraud. For King George County residents, these applications are typically adjudicated at the USCIS Washington District Office in Fairfax or the Arlington Immigration Court for cases in removal proceedings.
Founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, our firm brings deep experience in handling these complex federal procedures. An experienced immigration waiver lawyer in King George County understands that each waiver requires proving extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member.
Official Government Resources
For the official text of U.S. immigration law, refer to the U.S. Code, Title 8 (Aliens and Nationality). For procedural rules and forms, visit the official USCIS website. These .gov resources provide the statutes and regulations governing waiver applications.

- Gather Evidence: Collect all documents proving the extreme hardship your U.S. family member would face if you were denied admission or removed.
- Prepare the Petition: Your attorney will draft detailed legal arguments and compile supporting evidence into a persuasive waiver package.
- File with USCIS or the Court: Submit the completed Form I-601, I-601A, or I-212, along with fees and evidence, to the correct filing address.
- Respond to Requests: If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE), your lawyer will prepare a timely and thorough response.
- Attend any Hearings: For court-based waivers, your attorney will represent you at all hearings before the Immigration Judge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an immigration waiver?
Yes. An immigration waiver is a formal request to forgive a specific ground of inadmissibility, such as a criminal conviction, fraud, or unlawful presence, that would otherwise prevent you from getting a green card or visa. An experienced inadmissibility waiver lawyer in King George County can determine if you qualify and prepare the application.
Who qualifies for a waiver of inadmissibility?
It depends. Eligibility depends on the specific ground of inadmissibility and the type of waiver. Most waivers require proving that denying your admission would cause “extreme hardship” to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child. An immigration forgiveness lawyer in King George County can assess your specific situation.
How much does a waiver application cost?
The government filing fee for Form I-601 (Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility) is $1,050 as of 2026. Biometrics services cost an additional $85. Attorney fees are separate and vary based on case complexity. Fee waivers are generally not available for I-601.
Can I get a waiver for a criminal conviction?
Yes, in some cases. Waivers under INA § 212(h) may be available for certain crimes involving moral turpitude, prostitution, simple possession of 30g or less of marijuana, and some other offenses. Aggravated felonies are typically not waivable. Consulting an immigration waiver lawyer in King George County is crucial to evaluate your conviction.
What happens if my waiver is denied?
If USCIS denies your waiver, you may have options to appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) or, if you are in removal proceedings, to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). In some cases, you may be able to file a motion to reconsider or reopen. Denial can also trigger removal proceedings.
