Criminal Inadmissibility Waiver

FORMS: Form I-601

Overview

Criminal convictions create various inadmissibility issues depending on the offense type, sentence, and time elapsed. Some crimes (CIMTs — crimes involving moral turpitude) qualify for waivers; others (aggravated felonies, controlled substance violations beyond simple marijuana possession 30g) often do not. Strategic post-conviction relief (vacating convictions, revising sentences) can sometimes resolve inadmissibility.

Eligibility Requirements

Vary by offense and waiver type. CIMTs may be waived under I-601 with extreme hardship. Drug offenses generally not waivable except for single small marijuana possession. Aggravated felonies typically not waivable for adjustment but may have nonimmigrant waiver options.

Application Process

Comprehensive criminal record review; categorization analysis (CIMT, aggravated felony, drug offense, etc.); post-conviction relief possibilities; waiver strategy development; and waiver filing with extensive supporting documentation.

Required Documentation

Court records (charging documents, plea agreements, judgment, sentence); rehabilitation evidence (counseling, employment, character references); extreme hardship documentation; and admissibility classification analysis.

Government Filing Fees

Vary; I-601 fee where applicable.


Processing Timeline

12–36 months.
