Immigration Waivers (I-601 / I-601A)

Immigration waivers allow certain grounds of inadmissibility to be overcome that would otherwise prevent someone from obtaining permanent residence (a Green Card) or other immigration benefits. Form I-601 – Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility

Form I-601 can be used to request a waiver for various grounds, including:

Unlawful presence

Certain immigration violations

Some criminal records, depending on the type of offense, date, sentence, and circumstances

Other grounds provided under immigration law

Not all offenses are waivable, which is why a detailed legal analysis is essential before filing an application.

In most cases, the I-601 requires proving extreme hardship to a qualifying relative, such as:

A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse

A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident parent

We prepare strong, comprehensive I-601 waiver packages supported by legal, medical, psychological, financial, and humanitarian evidence.

Form I-601A – Provisional Waiver for Unlawful Presence

Form I-601A is a provisional waiver limited exclusively to unlawful presence.

This waiver:

Does not cover criminal records

Does not forgive other grounds of inadmissibility

Is primarily used in consular processing cases

We carefully evaluate whether a case qualifies for an I-601A or whether a traditional I-601 is required to avoid unnecessary risks.
