His response to your question is general in nature, as not all the facts are known to him. You should retain an attorney experienced in immigration law to review all the facts in your case in order to receive advice specific to your case. Mr. Shusterman's statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship. less

You can get more information about that process at www.uscis.gov/provisionalwaiver. I strongly suggest that you speak with an immigration attorney to discuss your eligibility for both the deferred action process and the waiver process. There are also some pros and cons that you should discuss with the attorney.
