The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) released the fourth edition of “The Waivers Book: Strategies for Overcoming Inadmissibility, Removability, and Other Barriers to Immigration Benefits” in print and eBook formats.

Waivers are a key tool in an immigration law practitioner’s toolbox. Barriers to eligibility, such as unlawful presence, misrepresentation, or a criminal background can be overcome with the  government’s discretion.

“The Waivers Book” shows practitioners how to overcome:

• Inadmissibility under INA §212(a)
• Removability under INA §237(a)
• A late-filed request for change or extension of status
• An overstay or unauthorized employment by an adjustment of status applicant
• The death of a petitioner before I-130 or visa approval
• Inability to comply with the I-751 joint filing requirement
• Loss of F-1 status
• The two-year home residency requirement for J visa holders
• Inability to take naturalization tests and oath

Cost for either the print edition or eBook is $239.
