An I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, is filed to permit an alien who has been denied admission to the United States to gain admission under certain circumstances. This waiver is based on extreme hardship to United States citizen or lawful permanent resident relatives of the alien which would result if the alien's inadmissibility cannot be waived.
Each waiver case is very specific to the circumstances of each alien and their family. Additionally, all I-601 waivers are discretionary, and require the alien to establish their eligibility based on statutory grounds and, further, establish the alien merits an exercise of favorable discretion by the appropriate immigration authorities. Therefore, it is always wise to consult with an immigration attorney who specializes in I-601 waivers before beginning the complicated process of filing an I-601 Waiver. Valerie May, our lead immigration attorney, will be able to consult with you regarding every detail of your situation to advise and assist you in preparing an properly crafted I-601 Waiver Application with the best chance of success. Our I-601 checklists are individually tailored to each client's case, and we believe our process is unique among immigration law firms. We have successfully prepared numerous I-601 applications for applicants in the United States and abroad.
