Immigration FAQ | Topic: Immigration Waivers FAQ
I lied at the border years ago (misrepresentation); can I get a fraud waiver?
Short answer: Read the NTA carefully, confirm the court date, and speak with an attorney before missing court or admitting allegations.
CIS Law Office helps clients review immigration questions with attention to facts, documents, deadlines, and practical risk. A responsible answer should not promise an outcome, because immigration cases depend on evidence, immigration history, government discretion, and sometimes immigration court procedure.
During a consultation, the attorney can review the main question, explain what information is missing, and help organize the next steps. For this topic, it is usually useful to prepare:
- Identify the exact inadmissibility issue.
- Confirm whether there is a qualifying relative.
- Organize medical, financial, emotional, and family hardship evidence.
This information is general and is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have a deadline, appointment, detention issue, denial, interview, or court date, it is better to get guidance before filing forms or making a decision that may affect your case.
