Q: Do VAWA self-petitioners need to apply for a US Waiver if they had a ban of entry?

A: Violence Against Women Act self-petitioners, and their children, do not need to apply for a US Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility if they had a 3-year or a 10-year ban imposed on them. They can be exempt from those grounds of inadmissibility if they are able to prove a connection between the hardship that is the foundation of their VAWA petition, and the violation that resulted with the admissibility ban. They should substantiate those claims with proof when filling their Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, or their immigrant visa application.
