Short Statement: USCIS modified the title of Form I-690 to include references to the sections of the INA under which an applicant would be applying for a waiver. The title change is intended to prevent confusion with other waiver of inadmissibility forms. Form I-690 was revised to include a more detailed list of inadmissibility grounds for which a waiver may be filed using this form. The instructions were revised to provide more detailed information about the inadmissibility grounds listed on the form and clarify the type of evidence that should be submitted in support of the request.
