Waivers for Provisional Unlawful Presence
Forgiveness for irregular presence is the procedure that allows overcoming certain causes of inadmissibility, such as having entered without inspection or having remained in the United States without legal status for an indefinite period, when a person is applying for permanent residence. This process is key in cases of Adjustment of Status or Consular Process and requires proof that a qualifying family member would suffer serious damage if the pardon is not approved.
