Q: Can the Unlawful Presence Bar Run While in the United States?

  • By: Immigration Attorney Osas Iyamu

Can the unlawful presence bar run while I am in the United States?

A: Yes, updated USCIS and BIA guidance states that unlawful presence bars can apply while you remain inside the United States. The three- and ten-year bars can still run during this time. This means you do not have to leave the U.S. to satisfy the bar requirements.
