Overview of Immigration Waivers
Waivers 601 and 601(a) are forms of relief for individuals who are inadmissible to the United States but have qualifying relatives who would suffer extreme hardship if the individual is not admitted.

  • Form I-601A: Designed for unlawful presence cases only which allows applicants to apply for this type of provisional waiver before departing from the United States.
  • Qualifying Relatives:Extreme hardship must be demonstrated relative to a US citizen or a permanent resident spouse or parent.
  • Application Process: You will need to fill out Form I-601 or I-601A and include supporting evidence showing that you would experience some form of exceptional difficulty.
  • Grounds of Inadmissibility: Understand what specific ground(s) you need to prove and how to address it/them in your waiver application.
