Provisional unlawful presence waivers for children of LPRs and USCs - Page 3

They will be changing the definitions, so it should be a lot easier to get the waivers since they're expanding them to all children.

Here you go, from the DHS memorandum to ICE:

Who else thinks brothers and sisters will be okay? Only problem I don't see it under the update on uscis.gov

We are all speculating here but when I read this to my understanding I believe and hope for example my father was petitioned by his brother in 2003 .. and my grandparents are green card holders.. it says the waiver is available to son's and daughters of green card holders even if they are not the petitioners . But we won't know for sure until I think in January where lawyers will have enough time to dissect every thing . But the wording clearly means adult because before it said minor children .

Interesting news. Does this apply to sons of permanent residents who entered the country lawfully? Meaning they will be considered immediate relatives regardless of age? And can recieve the green card within the frame alloted for an immediate relative preference category?

Subscribed, this is now my most interested/relevant thread.

The currently hardship criteria is indeed extreme circumstance only (i.e. u.s. citizen is terminally ill and you're the primary caregiver, etc.), but if they're able to play with that word, and expand to something similar to the caliber of 'hardship' when filling out an EAD renewal, it would open a new door for many.

Good morning, if that's the case.. That's a step forward as we know the 10 years ban when you are residing in the US more than 180 days did not leave...

This is great news hoping that is true..
I got a sisters who is citizen and parents that are residents.. They got in under 245i however I wasn't able to get in since I became 21 and older .. I hope is true because I really want to become a citizen to be able to apply for us Marshall's ...

Did you guys read the part where it says If visa is available

I should have said approved I-130 with CURRENT PRIORITY DATE, which means a visa is available. But yes, my statement implies that. I'll edit it.

Furthermore, you're all confused about what a provisional unlawful presence waiver does. It does not allow you to adjust status. It merely allows you to avoid the 3 or 10 year bar that you would get when you left for consular processing in your home country.
