What is a US Entry Waiver?

A USA Entry Waiver, officially referred to as a Waiver of Inadmissibility, gives people who might otherwise be turned away at the border the legal right to enter the United States for purposes such as travel, employment, education, or visiting loved ones. A criminal history, past immigration issues, or a previous border refusal can all make you inadmissible under U.S. law, and without an approved waiver, you risk being denied entry on the spot. GBWS specializes in building and filing accurate, thorough U.S. Waiver applications that meet all requirements set by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
