When to file the I-212 waiver?

[Susettie 0]

Our I-130 was approved by USCIS and we are now at the beginning of the NVC process. When do I need to submit the I-212 waiver?

 

A little background info: My dad entered the US in 88 asking for asylum but was given a deportation order instead and he never left but was under TPS for a while until 2007 when he could no longer pay for it and was arrested and finally deported back home in 2008. He was given a 10 year ban and when that expired that is when we started the I-130 process.

 

Thank you for your help!

So he has not physically been in the USA for at least 10 years? He has served his ban if that is the case.

No he has not been here at all since then. Does that mean that he does not need to file a waiver to re enter?

It does say he needs to ask for permission to re enter at the bottom of the paper he was given when deported.
