How Does The Adam Walsh Act Impact Immigration?

You've cleaned up your life after committing a criminal offense involving a minor. But you can’t bring your fiancé or other family members to the US to live as lawful permanent residents without an Adam Walsh waiver. This 2006 law prohibits US citizens and green card holders convicted of specific offenses against minors from obtaining permission for their relatives to immigrate to the US. So, what can you do if you have a conviction on your record? While Jude Law LLC can’t promise a positive outcome, we do have a successful record in obtaining Adam Walsh waivers for our clients. Take the first step to learn if we can help.  


After going through the difficult process of cleaning up your life and overcoming a criminal offense involving a minor, you may feel like your future is still uncertain. This is especially true if you have plans to bring your fiancé or other family members to live with you in the United States as lawful permanent residents. Unfortunately, due to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, this can be a challenging task.


The Adam Walsh Act was created to protect children from crimes such as sexual abuse, exploitation, and kidnapping. As part of this act, US citizens and green card holders who have been convicted of specific offenses against minors are prohibited from sponsoring their relatives for immigration purposes.

When filing for immigration, many individuals may find themselves facing the challenges of the Adam Walsh Act. This statute, also known as the Child Protection and Safety Act, was enacted in 2006 to protect children from sexual predators. However, it has also caused difficulties for families seeking immigration benefits.


One significant aspect of the Adam Walsh Act is that it prohibits US citizens or permanent residents who have been convicted of certain crimes involving minors from petitioning for their foreign-born family members. This includes spouses, parents, and children under the age of 21.
