Undue Hardship Waiver: Fill & Download for Free

Some US nonimmigrant visas are still issued to citizens of ‘travel ban’ countries. It just takes a very long time and requires individual waivers. Per CNN “The State Department spokesperson noted that if a visa applicant is "otherwise eligible for a visa and does not qualify for an exception," consular officers are permitted to grant waivers "on a case by case basis" if the applicant could prove that "denying entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship; his or her entry would not pose a threat to national security or public safety of the United States; and his or her entry would be in the national interest."It is doubtful that refusals under the general ban would count for much when relations return to normal, although every case is different.

I agree with Annika Schauer that your chances of getting a visa after being deported twice for a CIMT are slim to none - but I'd like to add to her answer that your chances of getting the waiver are very slim as well.The only situation in which your request may be seriously considered is if denying it would cause undue hardship to a US citizen or permanent resident relative of yours, e.g. if you marry a US citizen. Even then, given your history, it's a high bar to pass. My suggestion as a non-professional is that you either drop this course of action, or that you'll hire a really good lawyer that you fully trust who will advise you as to your chances, and if need be, file the application for you and represent you.Good luck!

He can , like other cabinet officials, appear and decline to provide information, however now that its been posed to him he has to challenge the subpoena in court. He has to show it meets the standard for quashing the subpoena. Rule 45 lays out how to quash a civil subpoena in federal court. I’m not really sure any of the conditions apply. You can’t just chose not to comply.FRCP 45(d) (3) Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena.(A) When Required. On timely motion, the court for the district where compliance is required must quash or modify a subpoena that:(i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply;(ii) requires a person to comply beyond the geographical limits specified in Rule 45(c);(iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver applies; or(iv) subjects a person to undue burden.(B) When Permitted. To protect a person subject to or affected by a subpoena, the court for the district where compliance is required may, on motion, quash or modify the subpoena if it requires:(i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information; or(ii) disclosing an unretained expert’s opinion or information that does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert’s study that was not requested by a party.(C) Specifying Conditions as an Alternative. In the circumstances described in Rule 45(d)(3)(B), the court may, instead of quashing or modifying a subpoena, order appearance or production under specified conditions if the serving party:(i) shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship; and(ii) ensures that the subpoenaed person will be reasonably compensated.
