Form I-601 Centralized Filing.
Beginning June 4, 2012, individuals abroad who have applied for certain visas and have been found ineligible by a U.S. Consular Officer, will be able to mail requests to waive certain grounds of inadmissibility directly to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Lockbox facility.
This change affects those individuals who are abroad, and have been found inadmissible for an immigrant visa or a nonimmigrant K or V visa, must send their waiver applications.
The change affects filings for:
(1) Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
(2) Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission (3) into the United States After Deportation or Removal
Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, (if filed after a denial of a Form I-601 or Form I-212).
Applicants who mail their waiver request forms should use the address provided in the revised form instructions on the USCIS website. Applicants who wish to receive an email or text message when USCIS has received their waiver request may attach Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance, to their application.
During a limited six-month transition period, immigrant visa waiver applicants in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, will have the option to either mail their waiver applications to the USCIS Lockbox in the United States or file in-person at the USCIS office in Ciudad Juarez.
** This change is separate and distinct from the provisional waiver proposal published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2012.**
