Form I-601A allows certain immediate relatives of U.S. citizens who are unlawfully present to obtain a provisional waiver before departing for their immigrant visa interview, reducing the time separated from their families.

Accepted Answer

A humanitarian measure that grants parole to individuals present in the U.S. without admission, commonly benefiting family members of U.S. military personnel

Parole in place allows noncitizens who entered without inspection to be considered 'paroled' into the U.S., making them potentially eligible for adjustment of status as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens.

Accepted Answer

Conviction for an aggravated felony at any time after November 29, 1990
