If you entered the United States without inspection, that is, without Visa, whether or not you were detained and placed in removal proceedings, if you are now legitimately married to a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder), so long as you can satisfy all required criteria, you can attain your lawful permanent residence via consular processing after you obtain an I-601A Waiver. One of the worst outcomes is to be found “inadmissible to the United States” by the U.S. authorities. If you have been found to be ineligible to enter in the United States (and certain other visa categories) for specific grounds of inadmissibility there may be Waivers that can cure your grounds of inadmissibility. Certain immigrant visa applicants who are relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents may use this application to request a provisional waiver of the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility before departing the United States to appear at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for an immigrant visa interview. That can be attained either via Marriage to a USC/LPR or via an EB3/Employment Based-Labor Certification Process, if you have parents who are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents and who will suffer extreme hardship if you were found inadmissible to enter the United States.
Form I-212 is an application for permission to reapply for admission into the United States after deportation or removal. Individuals who have been deported or removed from the U.S. and who wish to return must apply for permission to reapply for admission.
