*Waiver of Inadmissibility* A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is an application that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits, declarations and other evidence. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the crime or ground of ineligibility disappear so that entry or re-entry will be allowed into the U.S. Please note that the Waiver is the critical part of this application, and unless approved, there cannot be any other petition that will allow entry into the U.S. Therefore, the Waiver must be prepared with significant supporting documents.

From your fact situation, I am not sure exactly where you are in the process. Were you turned back and are presently overseas? Are you here in the United States presently? If in the United States, do you have another appointment with CBP to bring in evidence? Is there a chance that you were expecting to have a paper I-94, and CBP did admit you, but that you have to obtain a copy of the I-94 electronically? I will address a situation wherein an individual is in deferred inspection with CBP. In that case, you would bring evidence that your husband is in the US (passport and electronic I-94) along with whatever evidence CBP requested you to bring to the deferred inspection. Good luck.

Your husband does not have to wait the ten years. You can petition for him and file a waiver of the ten years. Since he has been out of the U.S. for seven years, married to you, USC, and have two USC children, his chances of success are high to receive his immigrant visa.
