212(i) Waiver

A 212(i) waiver can be sought to waive an alien's fraud or misrepresentation of a material fact in trying to procure a visa, other documentation, admission into the United States or other benefit under the INA. To be eligible for a 212(i) waiver, the immigrant must:

(a) be the spouse, son, or daughter of a U.S. citizen or LPR;
(b) establish that the qualifying relative will suffer extreme hardship if the waiver is denied.
