Securing permanent residency is a dream for many aliens living in the United States. The path to a green card, though, is not always easy. Between the many complicated steps and the complex grounds of admissibility into the United States, there are many opportunities for a matter to go awry, permanently jeopardizing your immigration status.
Historically, spouses and children of United States citizens who entered the country without following all required immigration procedures faced a major dilemma. In most cases, their only path to legal residency has been through application for a provisional unlawful presence waiver.
This required them to return to their native countries and apply for immigrant visas as well as this waiver - often becoming subject to a three- to 10-year ban from re-entering the U.S. to be with immediate family.In recognition of the severe hardships these requirements placed on many thousands of families, a rule change initiated in 2012 created what is now widely referred to as the Obama waiver.
