Provisional Waiver Rule Coming Soon

USCIS has announced that the Provisional Waiver rule will be published soon.  The Provisional Waiver allows I-601 extreme hardship waiver applications to be filed and adjudicated in the U.S. prior to leaving for the consular interview.  The effect is that visa applicants can remain in the U.S. with their families while the waiver is decided rather than be separated during that time period.
