    Transforming Unlawful Presence into a New Beginning

    Unlawful presence in the United States can be a significant barrier to obtaining legal residency, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your journey. The I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver offers a lifeline, allowing certain individuals to seek forgiveness for their unlawful presence before leaving the U.S. for consular processing. At Novo Legal Group, we specialize in guiding clients through this delicate and crucial process, ensuring that families have the opportunity to stay together and pursue their American dream.

    Understanding the I-601A Waiver

    The I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver is designed for individuals who are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (spouses, children, or parents) but are not eligible to adjust their status in the U.S. due to their unlawful presence. This waiver helps reduce the time families are separated during the green card application process.
