What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?

When an immigration officer deems you inadmissible to the U.S., hope is not lost. Our skilled immigration attorneys can assist you in applying for an inadmissibility waiver. We'll work closely with you and your family to uncover the hardships your U.S. resident or citizen family member would face without you in the country. Referred to as a "hardship waiver," this provision in U.S. law enables immigration authorities to assess the impact on your family member if you are unable to reside in the U.S., considering the emotional, physical, and financial aspects of your situation.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers

If you are deemed inadmissible due to unlawful presence, fraud, moral turpitude crimes, you'll need an I-601 or I-601-A waiver. These scenarios involve violating U.S. law, making the waiver process daunting. You must demonstrate both family hardship and why the U.S. government should forgive your actions. Hardship requirements vary from extreme to "extraordinary and extremely unusual" depending on the violation. Our immigration lawyers have guided clients through these challenges successfully and are dedicated to overcoming admissibility hurdles. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers

If you've been in the U.S. on a J-1 visa for various purposes like research, teaching, studying, or cultural exchange, you may need to return to your home country for two years before applying for a green card. However, if your family members in the U.S. need you to stay, you can seek a J-1 inadmissibility waiver. Although meeting the "exceptional" standard is challenging, our experienced immigration lawyers can assess your situation. If your family's circumstances meet the criteria, we'll build a strong case to increase your chances of obtaining the waiver. Contact Law Offices of Judith L. Wood for assistance.
