Depending on the amount of unlawful presence accrued, a nonimmigrant may be barred from attempting to reenter the United States after departing for 3 years, 10 years, or permanently (see our article on the permanent bar for more details on that subject). This memo went a long way toward explaining how unlawful presence accrues and how the 3 and 10 year bars of inadmissibility are triggered. This article will rely on that memorandum, along with relevant statutes and USCIS regulations and other listed sources, to explain the 3 and 10-year bars of inadmissibility, when unlawful presence does and does not accrue, and the limited circumstances under which someone who is subject to a 3 or 10-year bar of inadmissibility may be granted a waiver to enter the United States. For example, if an alien who has accumulated less than 180 days of unlawful presence, departs the United States, reenters on a valid visa, and then overstays it, the clock on his or her unlawful presence will restart from zero at that point. This is because entry on parole does not trigger inadmissibility. 14 For example, a person in the second year of a 3-year bar who is paroled into the United States would have the time spent as a parolee counted toward the expiration of the 3-year bar. 15 The filing of a notice to appear (NTA) that commences removal proceedings has no effect on the accrual of unlawful presence pursuant to USCIS regulations. 16 Persons with pending asylum applications are shielded from accruing unlawful presence. 20 However, engaging in unauthorized employment would begin the clock on the accumulation of unlawful presence. However, if his or her refugee status is terminated, unlawful presence begins to accrue immediately following the date of the termination. If a person who will have, or has had, an I-730 petition filed on his or her believes that he or she may have already accrued enough unlawful presence for a 3 or 10-year bar on inadmissibility, he or she should consult with an immigration practitioner if he or she is considering departing the United States during the pendency of the petition. Such persons may be barred from reentering the United States if they have already accrued enough unlawful presence. Please note that this exception only applies if the application for family unity protection is ultimately approved, in which case the period from the day the application was filed will not count toward unlawful presence. However, a grant of family unity protection does not excuse unlawful presence accrued prior to applying for family unity protection. All time in EWI status is unauthorized and counts toward the accrual of unlawful presence. 27 A nonimmigrant lawfully admitted to the United States would not accrue unlawful presence until the time immediately following the period of authorized stay listed on his or her I-94 Admission Departure Form or, in most recent years, I-94 admission stamp.He or she would be out of status, but would not accrue unlawful presence so long as USCIS or an IJ does not make a finding that he or she is out of status. 30 However, the USCIS changed the rules for when unlawful presence begins accruing for F, J, and M nonimmigrants.For example, Customs and Border Protection's (CBP's) position differs, in accordance the guidance issued by CBP, which instructs CBP officers that Canadians who were admitted without I-94 forms begin accruing unlawful presence after staying in the United States for six months. 34 If the alien was admitted for duration of status, then only time starting the day after after the denial will be counted as unlawful presence. The same rule applies if a timely-filed and non-frivolous extension of stay or change of status request is denied for cause. If the motion is approved, however, then the grant of extension of stay or change of status will apply retroactively, meaning that the alien would not be considered to have accrued unlawful presence. If the DHS reopens proceedings but denies the request again, the petition or application will be considered to have been pending since the initial filing date. In the cause of a timely and non-frivolous application or petition, unlawful presence will accrue from the date of the last denial of the petition. However, the underlying petition for status classification can generally be appealed. In the case of such an appeal to the AAO, the appeal itself has no effect on the accrual of unlawful presence. However, if the AAO reverses the denial of the underlying petition, and the USCIS subsequently grants extension of status or change of status, the alien will not be deemed to have accrued unlawful presence between the denial of the petition and the request for extension of status or change of status., and the subsequent grant of extension of status or change of status. He or she will accrue unlawful presence if he or she stays after the grant of parole expires, or if he or she violates the terms of the parole. 40 If he or she was found to have obtained the grant of parole by making knowingly false claims, the parole is terminated and the entire time he or she was in the United States after being admitted as a parolee is treated as unlawful presence. 41 If removal proceedings transpire while a person is in the United States under parole, unlawful presence will begin to accrue either when the parole expires or a final order of removal is issued, whichever happens first.Under the new rules, unlawful presence will, in most cases, accrue from the date the F1, J1, or M1 nonimmigrant violates status. The August 9 memorandum supersedes the unlawful presence guidance in this memorandum for F, J, and M nonimmigrants only.However, a grant of TPS does not excuse unlawful presence accrued prior to the grant of TPS. Persons on TPS who accrued at least 180 days of unlawful presence should consult with an immigration practitioner if they intend to depart the United States, since they may be subject to a bar of inadmissibility. 44 Such persons may be eligible to be granted waivers to enter the United States; however, those waivers do not cure inadmissibility for the purpose of adjustment of status. At the same time, following recent Board of Appeal's (BIA) interpretations, traveling on TPS related Advance Parole should not trigger the inadmissibility bar since such travel is not considered a “departure” required to trigger the unlawful presence bars. 45 Only the period between the grant of voluntary departure and the expiration of the grant is shielded from accrual of unlawful presence. If the individual remains in the United States after the departure period, he or she will begin to accrue unlawful presence unless he or she was approved for a 30-day extension of authorized stay in which to complete the departure. 47 However, if VD is reinstated by the BIA or by IJ proceedings that were opened for the purpose of a grant of VD, the period between the expiration of the grant and the IJ or BIA reinstating the VD will count toward the accrual of unlawful presence. However, for any grant of VD by the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), the filing of a petition for review by the grantee with the relevant U.S. Court of Appeals terminates the grant of VD. In that scenario, the alien would have 30 days after filing the petition to leave the United States without accruing unlawful presence. 49 Thus, unlawful presence does not accrue during the satisfactory departure period unless the grantee violates his or her satisfactory departure grant. In the case that the alien is found to have violated the satisfactory departure grant, unlawful presence begins to accrue the day after the individual is ordered to leave the United States. If an individual is ordered removed in his or her absence, 52 and he or she then files a motion to reopen, he or she will not accrue unlawful presence while the motion is pending. 53, 54 It will not excuse prior unlawful presence or unlawful presence after the grant is no longer valid. 55 This section will take a look at the three grounds a person may obtain a waiver provided that he or she is eligible. The Attorney General may waive the 3 or 10-year period of inadmissibility provided that: 60 Current regulations do allow persons subject to either the 3 or 10-year bars, and who are eligible for V visa status, to change to V status or seek V visas (nonimmigrant V visas are reserved for a small number of spouses of LPRs, or the unmarried children of LPRs under the age of 21, whose immigrant visa applications had been subjected to long waiting periods). 63 Please refer to our full article on provisional stateside unlawful presence waivers for more details. The waiver may be granted for humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or if granting the waiver would be in the public interest. The waiver request is filed on a Form I-601. 66 Director, CBP to AILA (Apr. 10, 2013) Letter, Acting Ex.

Recently the section of FAM discussing unlawful presence was revised. These revisions highlight the recent changes to F, J and M nonimmigrant visas and unlawful presence. According to these updates, a foreign national would generally begin to accrue unlawful presence upon the first occurrence of any of the events described: when the foreign national entered the United States without inspection; the day after the expiration date marked on Form I-94 plus any extension or period of re-parole for aliens admitted until a specified date; the day after a foreign national’s period of authorized stay expires for an alien admitted in J, F or M status; the day after DHS denied a request for an immigration benefit for the applicant, if DHS made a formal finding that the alien violated his or her nonimmigrant status while adjudicating the request for an immigration benefit; or the day after an immigration judge ordered the foreign national excluded, deported, or removed, regardless of whether the decision is appealed. Aliens will not accrue unlawful presence if they are authorized to be in the U.S. under the requisite visa or work authorization. This update mainly offers specific and detailed guidance for F, J and M nonimmigrant visa holders. This update is consistent with the August 9th USCIS memorandum on the same topic. For these foreign nationals who were out of status and timely filed a reinstatement application, the time period that the alien was out of status and the time period that their reinstatement application is pending does not accrue unlawful presence, as long as the reinstatement application is ultimately approved. It is also essential that these visa holders comply with other requirements including: being lawfully admitted or paroled into the U.S.; not working unlawfully prior or subsequent to applying; and not otherwise failing to maintain status. However, according to the FAM, applicants who previously had F, J or M status will begin to accrue unlawful presence in several situations: the day after the date specified on Form I-94 plus any extension of stay, if the F, J, or M nonimmigrant was admitted for a specified date; the day after the applicant ceased engaging in the activities for which he or she was in the United States in F, J, or M status, such as the day after the applicant stopped attending school (it is important to note this only applies for actions on or after August 9, 2018; an applicant who failed to maintain nonimmigrant F, J, or M status before August 9, 2018, and remained in the United States after that date began accruing unlawful presence on August 9, 2018); the day after DHS denied a request for an immigration benefit regardless of whether the applicant continued attending school or participating in the exchange program, if DHS made a formal finding that the alien violated his or her nonimmigrant status while adjudicating the request for an immigration benefit before August 9, 2018; or the day after an immigration judge ordered the foreign national excluded, deported, or removed, regardless of whether the decision is appealed. The changes made regarding unlawful presence generally focus on F, J or M visa holders and can be complicated.

Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim. The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any. (emphasis added). We have repeatedly held that as between two possible interpretations of a statute, by one of which it would be unconstitutional and by the other valid, our plain duty is to adopt that which will save the act.By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. As a result, DREAMers can get discouraged, feeling as though their hard work in college cannot pay off because, in the end, they are unauthorized to work. It can also provide hope to stay in school. Immigration rules are incredibly complex. A legal consultation is like having a doctor take a full history on the first office visit. It is essential to understanding all options and also all potential problems. That will require a separate plan or action by Congress. DREAMers are well advised to develop relationships with potential employers through internships, volunteering, networking, etc., so that the employer may be more likely to support the H-1B process. Some employers or DREAMers may choose not to pursue this option; our goal is to help provide good information so that the option can be considered in a clear light. For any DREAMer who has been present in the United States for one year or more in violation of immigration laws, leaving the United States triggers a 10-year bar to readmission. An approved D-3 waiver removes that bar for temporary visa purposes, allowing the DREAMer to then apply for an H-1B visa at a consulate or port of entry, and then (if the visa is granted) to enter the United States in valid nonimmigrant status with work authorization. Application for the D-3 waiver thus requires DREAMers to depart the United States. It is important to remember that not only will departure automatically trigger the 10-year bar in most cases, but DREAMers will need to return to their birth country, which may be unfamiliar to them. DREAMers are also advised to consider the consequences of leaving the United States to apply for a D-3 waiver before receiving H-1B petition approval. Even with petition approval, the D-3 waiver and H-1B visa application are not guaranteed, so students should carefully weigh the risks and benefits of leaving the United States with their employer and with qualified legal counsel. Approval of the D-3 waiver does not automatically grant an H-1B visa, but rather removes the bar from the H-1B visa being granted. A DREAMer will still need to meet all of the requirements for an H-1B in order to be granted a visa. A successful D-3 waiver removes the 10-year bar for nonimmigrant visa purposes only. In other words, the 10-year bar remains enforceable for any other application for admission, including permanent residency (absent approval of a different type waiver on extreme hardship grounds, which is extremely difficult to secure). However, CIS has on several occasions interpreted the statute to mean that there is no requirement to remain outside the United States during the entire period of inadmissibility.Though it has been inferred that this could be a tacit endorsement of the above letters and AAO decisions, USCIS interpretations of its own statutes can and do change, often with no warning. Under this statutory language, it would appear that a DREAMer would still be eligible for relief after a short trip abroad to secure a d3 waiver and H-1B visa. However, it is unclear precisely how the DREAM Act will be worded if it is passed, or how it will be interpreted. This is why it is important to wait for H-1B petition approval before making plans to leave the United States, and to consider the implications of your potential eligibility for the DREAM Act. For most DREAMers, their risk of harm to society is low if they intend to enter the United States as a working professional. Rather, there may be a potential benefit to U.S. society. This is compared to the range of grounds of inadmissibility covered by the d3 waiver. The immigration violation of unlawful presence, for example, is less serious than criminal convictions, drug offenses, or smuggling. This is not limited to exceptional or humanitarian circumstances, but covers any legitimate purpose. Entering the United States for the purpose of pursuing professional employment, with a non-profit for instance, could be considered a legitimate reason at the discretion and good judgment of the consular officer. On factors to consider when recommending a waiver, 9 FAM 40.301 N.3a states in part: “While the exercise of discretion and good judgment is essential, you may recommend waivers for any legitimate purpose such as family visits, medical treatment (whether or not available abroad), business conferences, tourism, etc.” Considerations also include the “recency and seriousness” of the law violation, the “reasons for proposed travel” back into the United States, and the “positive or negative effect, if any...on U.S. public interests.” The inspector should consider all of the above and also consider that the Congress has deemed these aliens inadmissible to the United States. In considering the waiver weigh the benefit, if any, to the United States should the waiver be granted. In situations where the proposed visit is for the purpose of medical treatment, consider whether such treatment is available to the alien abroad. Granting of waivers of these grounds should not be routine and available just for the asking. Each border crossing and consulate has its own local rules and procedures, as well as personnel, that may impact the application process. Consultation with an immigration attorney will help prepare you for this process. For more details on applying for a d3 waiver at a Canadian-United States port of entry, follow this link to the CBP website. Some undocumented students with a bachelor’s degree may have other longer term paths to permanent residence that do not involve leaving the US. Aan undocumented student who entered the United States with a legal visa but overstayed may be eligible for permanent residence through marriage to a U.S. citizen without having to go to her home country. Or, an undocumented student who qualifies for 245i may be able to seek a green card in the United States through an employer-sponsored petition (these can be relatively fast if the job requires an advanced degree) or a family-based petition. Typical examples of H-1B eligible professionals are computer programmers, engineers, teachers, scientists, and lawyers. The H-1B visa is valid for three years and can be renewed for an additional three years, for a maximum of six years. Generally, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will look to the degrees held by others with similar jobs at the same company, and across industry, to decide whether an H-1B is appropriate. The employer must “attest” (promise) that it will pay the prevailing wage for that job in that geographic area, as well as to the actual wage paid at the company for others in the same job, among other attestations. USCIS adjudicates petitions, but a different agency, the Department of State (DOS), issues machine-readable visas outside the country. For DREAMers who apply for an H-1B visa concurrent with their d3 waiver application at a U.S. consulate abroad, H-1B petition approval by USCIS is the necessary first step. Currently, the numerical limit is 65,000, with an additional 20,000 H-1Bs for graduates with at least at master’s degree from a U.S. institution of higher education. In a good economy, it is common for USCIS to receive far more H-1B petitions than available visa numbers within only a few days of filing acceptance. In these cases, there is a random selection process to determine which petitions will be accepted. In a downturn economy however, H-1Bs tend to be much less competitive. In FY 2010 and 2011, for example, the quota was not met until months after the fiscal year began. All institutions of higher education, related or affiliated non-profits, and governmental research organizations are exempt. This means that an H-1B petition can be filed by these employers at any time of the year without concern for competition over limited numbers. Once you are counted towards the cap, you do not need to be counted again for an H-1B extension. This is not the case for the majority of employers wishing to sponsor DREAMers. Her former employer filed an H-1B petition and waiver to bring her back.
