As far as I can understand, it means that the Attorney General can decide that the application of () is not necessary if the immigrant has a US citizen among his close family, and if the refusal of admission on US territory for this immigrant causes extreme trouble to this close family.Anonymous wrote:Could anyone simplifythis statement for me, please?

It means that if you are either the spouse, daughter or son of a person who has an american passport or a permanent residence visa (green card) and not giving you a visa would cause the passport/visa holder extreme pain/sorrow you may be able to enter without the application of Section 212 (a)(2) (A)(i)(I))
