U.S. Immigration in the 1920s: The 20th century saw a significant influx of immigrants to the United States, primarily consisting of individuals who fled Europe during World War II (1939-1945). Many of these new immigrants possessed highly specialized skills, including doctors, scientists, engineers, and lawyers.

Eligibility for Waiver in the U.S.: To be eligible for a waiver, an individual must be the spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen. Additionally, the foreign national or their child must have been subjected to abuse or extreme cruelty perpetrated by the U.S. citizen spouse or parent.

Ineligible Countries for Waiver Applications: The waiver program is only open to countries with very low rates of non-immigrant visa refusals and immigration violations. These countries must also issue secure travel documents and collaborate closely with U.S. law enforcement agencies and counterterrorism authorities.

Consequences of Failing U.S. Immigration: If an individual fails to pass immigration, the deadline for their departure may be extended, typically due to flight availability. Their documents are returned upon release or upon their return to Brazil. While detained, the traveler is entitled to food, water, social assistance, and a place to store personal belongings.

Deportation from the U.S.: Through voluntary deportation, foreign nationals waive their rights to trial hearings and bear the costs of returning to their home country.
