Recently, some listeners asked if there were any types of applicants are not eligible to receive visas and therefore not eligible to enter the US.
A visa applicant may be inadmissible for health related reasons, such as having a communicable disease or a dangerous mental disorder. Also, drug abusers or addicts are inadmissible.
With regard to criminal reasons for inadmissibility, there is a very long list of crimes that would prevent someone from getting a visa. Briefly, an alien who has been convicted of a crime involving “moral turpitude” or violation of any law relating to a controlled substance is inadmissible. However, if the crime involved imprisonment of less than six months, the applicant may be eligible for a visa.
What is a crime of “moral turpitude” ? It is any crime which everyone agrees is an evil act, such as murder, rape, arson, fraud and robbery.
Waivers may be available for certain crimes if they were committed more than 15 years before the applicant’s application for a visa. Waivers may also be available for certain crimes if the applicant is the spouse, parent, son, or daughter of a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident, and if it can be established that the alien’s denial of admission would result in extreme hardship to the United States citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent, son, or daughter.
An alien who spent more than five years in prison as a result of committing one or more crimes is inadmissible.
Controlled substance traffickers, people engaged in prostitution and commercialized vice, human traffickers, and those guilty of persecution are always inadmissible.
Those guilty of money laundering, and anyone who is, or has been, a member of the Communist party is inadmissible. And, as we all know, a person who is a potential Public charge is not admissible.

Q.1. What if the visa interview is scheduled more than one year after the LLTP#2 has been issued?
A.1. The LLTP#2 must be renewed after one year because it must be current at time of interview.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.2. Is it possible to get a waiver for a communicable disease?
A.2. In general, any communicable disease such as TB must be treated and cured before the applicant can be approved for a visa.
