    Default Nonimmigrant Waiver for a J-2 Visa During 10-Year-Bar

    I apologize for the title that is a little confusing.

    My husband left voluntarily the US in 2006 after having been illegal for a couple of years, therefore triggering the inadmissibility of the 10-year bar.
    I have been offered an internship that would require me to apply for a J-1 visa. I was wondering if my husband would qualify for an INA 212 nonimmigrant waiver in order to apply for a J-2 visa?
    How does it work? What are the requirements?
    Thank you so much for your help.

    Speak with an immigration attorney. It may be possible, However, based on the requirements be prepared to pay for his expertise in preparing the necessary documentation.

    Remember that the requirements for a non-immigrant waiver are different from those of an immigrant so obtaining one waiver does not give him a pass forever.

    Thank you for your answer. Our plan is not to immigrate to the States, we just don't want our family to be separated during the time of the internship, and I wouldn't want to turn down such an opportunity because of my husband's past mistakes. I will contact with an attorney for more information.
