In this brief segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas responds to a viewer’s question about how long one must wait before applying for a “perdón” (immigration waiver). She explains that there are multiple categories of waivers—such as those for unlawful presence, drug‑related offenses, prior deportations, and re‑entry after removal. Each category carries its own statutory bar: a 3‑year bar, a 10‑year bar, or a permanent bar that generally requires the applicant to spend ten years outside the United States before eligibility. Consequently, the waiting period depends on which specific waiver the individual needs.
