Legal Question in Immigration Law in Ohio

Immigration Waiver

My H1 Visa was stamped in London and then revoked at POE after 45 days of deffered Inspection. It seems that I needed a waiver to enter which was not identified by USCIS office in London. I had a 212 (a)(6)(c) against me in year 2001 and i tried multiple mercy petitions. What are my options now ? I have my H1 still active and have my 797 with me. Can I enter US legally by applying a i-601 waiver of inadmissability/excludability

Re: Immigration Waiver

Your circumstance really requires consulting with an immigration attorney. If your H1 visa is valid, your status would be that of a nonimmigrant. I-601 waivers apply to immigrants. The reason for the 212(a)6)c) is important to know before making a determination.

Re: Immigration Waiver

In order to qualify for a waiver of inadmissiblity for Sec. 212(a)(6)(c), you must have a qualifying relative. Such relatives include U.S. citizen parents and spouses, and U.S. permanent resident parents and spouses. Contact an attorney who is skilled in preparing this type of waiver for further information.
