GOP senators: 'Dreamers' deal will likely end up in funding bill - Page 5

Why dont people just sign the waiver that pardons you for entering the country without inspection?

Show me that that is all it takes and I will sign it.

Can't tell if troll or just ignorance.

Then go down to the local Green Card office to register for a GC, so easy, I don't understand why we still have 800K lazy dreamers who refuse to do that. SAD!

800k? Waiver is only for those trying to adjust through marriage and entered without inspection. Some of my relatives did it, but they had good lawyers.

Individuals who have accrued more than 180 days of unlawful presence while in the United States must obtain a waiver of inadmissibility to overcome the unlawful presence bars under section 212(a)(9)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act before they can return.

The provisional unlawful presence waiver process allows those individuals who are statutorily eligible for an immigrant visa (immediate relatives, family-sponsored or employment-based immigrants as well as Diversity Visa selectees); who only need a waiver of inadmissibility for unlawful presence to apply for that waiver in the United States before they depart for their immigrant visa interview.

This new process was developed to shorten the time that U.S. citizens and lawful permanent resident family members are separated from their relatives while those relatives are obtaining immigrant visas to become lawful permanent residents of the United States.

What are you on about, that ruling expands the waiver for immediate relative of LPR, before it was only for immediate relative of a USC.

It doesn't mean you can just "sign the waiver" and clear your EWI.

You need to "Be able to demonstrate that refusal of your admission to the United States will cause extreme hardship to your U.S. citizen or Legal Permanent Resident spouse or parent"

This is extremely hard to prove. Loss of income is not enough to prove this extreme hardship. You need something like your spouse is on dialysis and cannot take care of him/herself at home and you have no other relative that can help.

Just to make sure I am getting this.

I am EWI, I have accrued more than 180 days so, if I get married, I can apply for the waiver inside of the States and once approved, I'd need to go to my home country (Mexico) to obtain a visa. Once I get that, I can come back with no problems. Correct? It basically cuts the risk of going out of the country and not knowing whether you will get the waiver or not.

Pretty much. A lawyer has to do it for you though. I wouldn't risk it doing it alone because they have to make a credible story of why you need that waiver. It shouldnt be a problem for an experienced lawyer handling these type of cases. (Basically, dont go cheap on your lawyer). Like I said, my relatives successfully did it with no problems. Full disclosure: We live in California where there are tons of lawyers who know immigration well. One of my my aunts did it from New York also.

Thanks for the information bud. This makes it less stressful going through, if I needed to go back to Mexico without assurance that I could return. My sister is going through this currently. She hired a lawyer with a good track record, so once my gf and I get married, I am going to have to hit him up if my sister is successful.
