Convictions of CMTs are generally waivable under former INA § 212(c), subject to limitations in effect on the date of conviction. The relief is unavailable to waive any conviction occurring after April 1, 1997, and will not waive deportability for multiple CMT convictions occurring between April 24, 1996 and April 1, 1997, where at least two convictions were punishable by one year or more.
