What is a United States Waiver for Denied Entry?

By Michael Niren June 2, 2013 (Updated December 7, 2020) 1 min. read

Do you want to enter the United States, but have a criminal record or other issue and are concerned about being refused entry? When dealing with denied entry to the United States for any number of reasons, there are actually special documents that you can apply for called United States waivers of inadmissibility.

These waivers, good for up to five years in some cases, can allow you entry into the United States even if you are inadmissible. The waiver has to be shown to immigration officials whenever you enter the country.

When Can I Apply for a United States Waiver?

Waiver applications are very time consuming to complete and take even longer to be processed. On average, they’ll take about nine months to be processed, so it’s important that you apply as soon as possible for one if you intend to travel to the United States.

Getting a United States waiver of inadmissibility is not easy, either. You will have to provide the United States government with information on your finances, background, your criminal record, along with documents like employment records, a written personal statement, character references and more.

I had an exceptional experience with Bansuri Pandya during our initial meeting. Her expertise was evident, and her professionalism was second to none. What stood out most was her genuine care for our needs, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking top-notch service and personalized attention.

Our firm needed some assistance with two special employee immigration cases. Because we are primarily an engineering company, we have very little experience in this realm. Consulting with VisaPlace worked out well for us. They produced the desired result. We will use them again, should the need arise.
