Adam Walsh Act Waiver Assistance

If the petitioner has a registered sex abuse conviction, the Department of Homeland Security must determine that there is no risk of harm in granting the right to sponsor a spouse or family member before they’ll award an Adam Walsh Act Waiver. Very few, if any, of these waivers are granted as the Department of Homeland Security requires compelling evidence that the applicant does not pose a threat to the beneficiary or the derivative beneficiary.
