Waivers & Appeals

I-601 Waiver (Unlawful Presence / Inadmissibility)

Overcome Immigration Inadmissibility Barriers

The I-601 Waiver allows certain applicants to request forgiveness for immigration violations that make them inadmissible to the United States. These issues may include unlawful presence, misrepresentation, or certain immigration violations. Applicants must demonstrate that denying the waiver would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative.

I-601 Waiver Overview & Benefits

The I-601 Waiver of Inadmissibility is used by individuals who are otherwise ineligible to receive an immigrant visa or adjustment of status due to certain immigration violations. By filing Form I-601 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), applicants may request forgiveness for these grounds of inadmissibility if they can demonstrate that a qualifying relative would suffer extreme hardship if the waiver is denied.
