2019 I-601A Waiver Guide by Northern Virginia Immigration Law Firm

Vienna, VA, February 24, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Johnson & Masumi, a Northern Virginia immigration law firm, created a guide to the 2019 I-601A waiver for undocumented immigrants. This waiver allows undocumented spouses, children, and relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to remain in the U.S.

Applying for and receiving an I-601A waiver is a long and detailed process. To be approved for this waiver, one must be physically present in the U.S. when applying and have spent more than 180 living in the U.S. after their 18th birthday. Applicants must also have a spouse or parent who would suffer extreme hardship if the waiver was not granted. A series of additional waivers must be filled out by employers and family as well. If the I-601A waiver is not granted, undocumented immigrants who leave the country are barred from reentering the U.S. for three years if they have remained in the country for more than 180 days but less than one year. The ban reaches a total of 10 years for those who have been in the U.S. for more than one year.

The I-601A process can be a tedious and time consuming process, particularly for people who are unfamiliar with the American legal system. Hiring an immigration attorney to assist you can therefore be a worthy investment. An attorney can help you collect the proper documentation, adhere to deadlines, understand the requirements for obtaining a waiver, and review your paperwork to ensure that it meets those requirements. An immigration attorney can also assist you if your application is denied or delayed.
