601 Waivers

601 Waivers | Ft Myers Immigration Lawyer Carl RothrockCarl Rothrock is an immigration lawyer in Fort Myers, Florida, who files I601 waivers for unlawful presence, fraud, and criminal convictions.  United States immigration law lists several reasons why a foreign citizen cannot enter the United States or obtain a green card.  The 601 waiver forgives the act. An immigrant may file a waiver for different reasons.

Types of 601 Waivers

  • Waiver for health reasons:  The immigrant may file a 601 waiver for  failure to get immunized.  In addition, the immigrant may file a 601 waiver for having a communicable disease.
  • Waiver for criminal records: The immigrant may file a 601 waiver for committing a crime; however, the government will not grant the waiver for most drug offenses.
  • Waiver for Misrepresentation or fraud:  The applicant may file a 601 waiver for making false statements on a visa application. Further, this type of waiver covers false statements at interviews.
  • Waiver for Unlawful Presence.  The applicant may file a 601 waiver for entering the United States without a valid visa. The I601A waiver is unique because the applicant does not need to leave the country while the application for waiver is pending.

The filing of an I601 waiver is very complicated.  The request is typically accompanied by hundreds of pages of supporting documentation.  The chief reason the government denies waiver applications is lack of documentation.  The Rothrock Law Firm has represented thousands of clients from more than 100 countries and has successfully obtained waivers for clients. If you are looking for a 601 waiver attorney or 601A waiver attorney in Ft Myers or Naples, call Carl Rothrock at 239-206-2363.
