1615-AC50 202010 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1615 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services USCIS 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS Revision of Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver of Inadmissibility

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to strengthen its regulations pertaining to the provisional unlawful presence waiver (provisional waiver). Under the current regulations, certain aliens who are or were unlawfully present in the United States may apply for a provisional waiver of the unlawful presence ground of inadmissibility before they depart the United States to attend a consular interview. However, certain regulatory provisions have undermined the intent of the provisional waiver process and created inefficiencies that DHS seeks to remedy.
