The I-601A is Almost Here!

"We are now days away from the launch of the provisional waiver process, a White House initiative that will permit immediate relatives of U.S. citizens to stay in the country while immigration officials process their waivers for the unlawful presence bars.  U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will start accepting applications on March 4, and will release Form I-601A and its accompanying instructions either today or on Monday.  We’ve talked about the provisional waiver process before (here and here), but thought we should again answer some frequently asked questions." - Ben Winograd, Mar. 1, 2013.
