In cases involving a conviction for gun possession, fixing one's immigration status can be complex. Generally, individuals may seek a waiver of inadmissibility, but the eligibility depends on several factors, including the nature of the conviction and the individual's overall immigration history.
Here are the key points:
- Waivers under INA Section *(h) might be available.
- The individual must demonstrate extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, son, or daughter if they are removed.
- Certain criminal convictions may disqualify someone from obtaining a waiver.
Would you like more information on the specific requirements for a waiver of inadmissibility under INA Section *(h)?

Do you need more detailed information on the I-* waiver process?
YES
