USCIS announces new policy on stateside adjudications of I-601s for unlawful presence

In welcome news USCIS has outlined a process that would allow certain individuals who are seeking permanent residence and are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens to apply for and be granted provisional waivers of inadmissibility before leaving the U.S. for consular processing of their immigrant visa applications. This would apply to individuals whose only ground of inadmissibility is unlawful presence.

This is great news for families who must face the difficult dilemma of facing long delays abroad when they decide to consular process.
