Special Immigration

Political Asylum

Political asylum refers to the legal protection offered by the U.S. government to foreign nationals who are persecuted due to their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.

Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility or Reapply for Admission into the U.S. After Deportation or Removal

Applicants may be denied entry to the United States, their immigration visas or adjustment of status may be refused, or they may be ineligible for citizenship due to reasons such as health conditions, becoming a public charge, unlawful presence, specific criminal offenses, fraud or misrepresentation, membership in a totalitarian party, or entering the country through smuggling. In these situations, applicants can request a waiver to remove the impact of these conditions on their immigration application. Additionally, if there is a deportation order, one can also apply for a waiver to lift the order.

Cancellation of Removal

Based on humanitarian principles, the Attorney General, immigration judges, or the appellate court can cancel the removal of 'permanent residents' or 'non-permanent residents' (including individuals with unlawful status) from the country under specific circumstances.
