Apply for Advance Permission to Enter U.S. As a Non-Immigrant if Inadmissible

[Blog Feeds]

Individuals who apply for a non-immigrant visa must be admissible to enter the United States. Inadmissible grounds to deny entry into the U.S. include, but not limited to the following:

• Communicable disease;
• Criminal record involving crimes of moral turpitude;
• Possession of or trafficking in a controlled substance;
• Trafficking persons;
• Involved in money laundering;
• Previously removed (deported) or previously overstayed a period of admission to the U.S.

If a non-immigrant visa holder subsequently becomes inadmissible and thus ineligible to enter the United States, depending on the inadmissibility ground, the visa holder may apply in advance of travel for a temporary waiver of inadmissibility. The waiver application is applied directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) prior to travel. Along with the signed Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant, the applicant must submit the filing fee of $545, an official police record from country of nationality, proof of citizenship, and supporting documentation regarding the inadmissibility showing rehabilitation and character reformation. For questions concerning eligibility of the temporary waiver application, or any other area of immigration, call Kraft & Associates at 214-999-9999.
