In this brief segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about how long one must wait to apply for a “perdón” (waiver). She clarifies that there are multiple kinds of waivers—related to unlawful presence, drug offenses, prior deportations, and re‑entry after deportation—each tied to a specific statutory bar. Some bars are three‑year or ten‑year periods that allow a waiver to be filed relatively soon, while a permanent bar requires the individual to spend ten years outside the United States before a waiver can be sought. The attorney emphasizes the importance of identifying which specific waiver applies before determining the waiting period.
