Misrepresentation Waiver — 212(a)(6)(C)
A lifetime bar with two keys: the I-601 hardship waiver and the 212(d)(3) nonimmigrant waiver.
Overview
A finding of fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact triggers a permanent bar. Before conceding the ground, we contest it — many findings rest on statements that were not willful, not material, or not actually false. Where the finding stands, we build the waiver that fits your goal.
Who May Qualify
- A 212(a)(6)(C)(i) finding
- Immigrant route: extreme hardship to a qualifying spouse or parent
- Nonimmigrant route: favorable Hranka discretionary factors
How We Help
- Challenges to the underlying finding: materiality, willfulness, timely retraction
- I-601 extreme-hardship waiver packages
- 212(d)(3) nonimmigrant waivers for work and travel while the permanent fix proceeds
