Asked in Immigration Law for Florida

Q: Can I apply for waivers like I-601 and I-212 as I was removed for my aggravated felony conviction INA 101(a)(43)(P).

On March 16, 2010 I was removed for my criminal conviction under INA 101(a)(43)(P), which is an aggravated felony for immigration purposes. My wife is US citizen. Can I apply for waivers to come back to the US?

Any reply would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Kind regards.

A: It sounds like you may need (Form I-212) an application to apply for early admission to the US. Your conviction would be a negative equity. Depending on the nature of your offense, you may also need a I-601 to waive the criminal ground of inadmissibility.
