Re: waivers

The only way a person who entered the U.S. illegally can qualify for permanent residence without departing is if she had an immigrant petition or labor certification filed on her behalf prior to 3/30/01.

If she did not, then she must consular process, triggering the 10 year bar, and approval of discretionary unlawful presence waiver.

There is no other choice. To discuss fees, please contact me directly by email at [email protected].
