1. Nature of this communication

This website is attorney-advertising material under Cal Bar Rule 7.1. Nothing on it is legal advice for your specific case. Past results do not predict future outcomes. No statement on this site should be construed as a guarantee of a particular adjudication result.

2. The practice — Chernoff Legal Services

Legal services on this website are provided by Chernoff Legal Services, a California sole proprietorship operated by Frederick Chernoff under the trade name “Chernoff Legal Services.” The trade name is used in compliance with Cal Bar Rule 7.5 (firm names and trade names).

Frederick Chernoff does not advise on non-immigration state law, taxation, real estate, family law, criminal defense, employment, or any other matter outside U.S. federal immigration practice. Chernoff Legal Services does not hold itself out as qualified to provide legal advice on Canadian law.

6. No outcome guarantee

CBP's Admissibility Review Office decides Form I-192 waivers at its discretion under Matter of Hranka (15 I&N Dec. 207 (BIA 1975)) and applicable regulations.
