Success Story: 212(d)(3) Criminal Non-Immigrant Waiver Approved 

Success Story: 212(d)(3) Criminal Non-Immigrant Waiver Approved 

Our client, a Dutch national, reached out for our help at Blue Lake Law to assist him in obtaining a criminal waiver approval, 212(d)(3). Our client has a 10-year-old conviction for public violence in the Netherlands. The US Department of State is notoriously scrutinizing when trying to approve a 212(d)(3) waiver, Blue Lake Law had to prove to the Dept. of State that our client should be admissible to enter the United States on a non-immigrant visa despite having grounds for inadmissibility (previous criminal record). The particular application that our firm assisted in filing is known as a Hranka waiver, which is a waiver for non-immigrants with grounds of inadmissibility to temporarily travel to the states, while assessing the how the benefit of their travel to the US out-weights the potential risk of that person entering the US. At the moment these waivers are being scrutinized and are often rejected. Our team at Blue Lake Law prepared an argument of support towards our client’s anticipated travel to the US for submission to the US consular office in Amsterdam. We guided our client through mock interviews so he could prepare for the types of questions he would be asked during his interview. This is an excellent outcome resulting from our team’s effort in preparation of documents and our client. He is happily on his way to visiting the US!
