Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol Agent (CBP BPA) Practice Exam

The primary consequence for a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) when an alien's I-193 (Application for Waiver of Passport and/or Visa) is denied is that the LPR may be subject to removal proceedings. This is because the denial of an I-193 signifies that the individual's entry into the U.S. is not legitimate, which can lead to complications regarding their immigration status.

In situations where an LPR has an alien in their care or under their sponsorship facing a denial, the implications can directly impact the LPR's residency. If the alien was a crucial part of the LPR's ability to maintain legal status or residency, this denial can trigger an investigation into the LPR's circumstances, potentially leading to proceedings that could result in removal from the U.S.

This outcome highlights the importance of visa waivers and the potential risks involved when an application like the I-193 is denied, particularly for those who hold lawful permanent residence and have obligations to abide by immigration laws. Other options do not adequately reflect the serious implications of this situation for the LPR's status.
