Waivers of Inadmissibility

Dallas and Fort Worth I-601 and I-212 Waiver of Inadmissibility Lawyers

United States immigration law prohibits individuals under several circumstances from entering the country. Circumstances that can lead to inadmissibility include:

• Criminal activities
• Prior deportation orders
• Public dependency issues
• Health-related grounds, hepatitis C and tuberculosis
• Illegal entry into the U.S. and immigration violations, including misrepresentation

In certain cases, the law provides “inadmissible” individuals the opportunity to request a waiver regarding their inadmissible status. The waiver and a subsequent visa may be granted if specific requirements related to inadmissibility are met.

If the federal government has denied your visa application due to alleged criminal activity, health issues or immigration violations, the immigration law firm of Chavez & Valko can help. From offices in Dallas and Fort Worth, we have successfully obtained Waivers of Inadmissibility and visas for numerous clients locally and throughout the country.

Do you have questions regarding the denial of your visa request and Waiver of Inadmissibility? Contact Chavez & Valko at 214-251-8011 (Dallas area), 817-332-1100 (Fort Worth area), or 1-888-562-0398 (nationwide).

Often, the government flags activity and background information as grounds for inadmissibility then allows admission when evidence is presented. The government may look at information pertaining to:

• The risk (or lack of risk) of harm to society if the applicant is admitted
• The seriousness of the applicant’s immigration law violation
• The nature of the reasons for wishing to enter the United States

We have successfully obtained Waivers of Inadmissibility for previous denials relating to marijuana, domestic altercations, and minor and unintentional immigration law violations. Where others simply give up, we will not. Our goal is to help each of our clients live and remain in the U.S. We have taught seminars to other attorneys regarding waivers of inadmissibility as well as immigration consequences from criminal activity.

I-601 or I-212 Waivers of Inadmissibility Client Testimonials

• "We are extremely thankful to immigration attorney Mr. Martin Valko and his paralegal Cielo Pineda of Chavez & Valko LLP for their professionalism, knowledge, care and dedication in my husband's immigration process to obtain his permanent residency. Before hiring Chavez & Valko Immigration Law Firm, we had hired another local law firm that was not knowledgeable with the I-601 Waiver process which caused us loss of money, time, suffering, a separation of 21 months. Our first waiver prepared by the other lawyer was then denied. We are so grateful that we hired Mr. Valko and his firm to handle my husband's new waiver and to obtain his residency with an excellent I-601 waiver packet. Thank you for reuniting my husband and me after this long process!"

  Estamos extremadamente agradecidos con el abogado de inmigración, Sr. Martin Valko y su ayudante legal Cielo Pineda de Chávez & Valko LLP por su profesionalidad, conocimiento, cariño y dedicación en el proceso de inmigración de mi marido para obtener su residencia permanente. Antes de contratar a los Abogados de Inmigración Chávez & Valko, habíamos contratado a otra firma local de abogados que no estaban bien informado con el proceso del I-601 Waiver; el cual nos causó la pérdida de dinero, tiempo, sufrimiento, y una separación de 21 meses.

• "We are extremely grateful that we made the decision to hire your office Chavez& Valko. When dealing with immigration you cannot afford to make a mistake and hire someone that is not knowledgeable in the area we am so glad that we did not make that mistake. Living in Florida we could not find an attorney that was knowledgeable in the expertise of 601 Waivers thru a friend we were referred to your office. Not residing in Dallas never had an impact on our communication and everything worked out smoothly. From the beginning to the end they have been very professional from the main attorney to the paralegal handling our case to the receptionist . My husband "601 Waiver" was approved at Ciudad Juarez and we could not be anymore happier than we are. Thank you for reuniting our family. Keep up the good work! Many thanks from the Lopez family.
  Estamos muy agradecidos de haber tomado la decision de contratar a su oficina de Chavez y Valko. Cuando se trata de lo de inmigracion no puede permitirse el lujo de cometer un error y contratar a alguien que no conozca el area estoy muy contento de que no cometimos ese error. Vivir en la Florida no podimos encontrar un abogado que era conocedor de la experiencia de 601 Perdones a traves de un amigo se nos remitio a su oficina. El no residir en Dallas no tuvo un impacto en nuestra comunicacion y todo salio bien. Desde el principio a fin ha sido muy profesional del abogado principal de la manipulacion de paralegal nuestro caso a la recepcionista. El "601 Perdon" de mi marido fue aprobado en Ciudad Juarez y no podriamos estar mos felices. Gracias por la reunificacion de nuestra familia. Keep up the good work! Muchas gracias departe de la familia Lopez.
