Visiting the United States with a Criminal Record
If you are a Canadian with a Criminal Record, you may need a U.S. Waiver of Inadmissibility. Please check here for more information:
United States Waiver of Inadmissibility
Were you denied entry to the United States because of a criminal record and told that you need a U.S. Waiver of Inadmissibility? If yes, this does not mean that a U.S. Waiver of Inadmissibility is your only option. A review of your criminal record and court documents may reveal that you are NOT inadmissible after all. Instead, you may need to apply for a Non-Inadmissibility Letter. Please note that US Border Guards rarely explain this second option. Do not apply for a Waiver on your own. Hire an expert as an expert can sometimes help you remove your inadmissibility or assist you in improving your chances at a favorable review of your application (ie. minimize the risk of denial of your application or assist you in getting a waiver for the longest period of time possible). Contact us for a free consultation.
If you are a visitor to Canada, Permanent Resident in Canada, or individual from a Visa/Waiver Country, you may need to apply for a Visa/Waiver through the US Consulate instead. Please click here for more information:
