What is the I-601 waiver?
In order to allow you to resolve certain inadmissibility issues, the I-601 waiver allows you to submit documentation to overcome the reasons that you may not be able to immigrate to the U.S. To obtain the waiver, the applicant must present a showing of how the U.S. qualifying relative would suffer extreme hardship if their foreign-born relative is not granted the waiver and is forced to return to their country of origin.
What can we define as “extreme hardship”?
Extreme hardship can be a set of circumstances that goes beyond the typical difficulties that come from having to be separated from your loved one who is requesting a waiver. There is no clear definition, but typically a collection of different factors are used to demonstrate how extreme hardship would result from denying family reunification in the United States.
A few general examples discussed are:
health reasons (mental and physical medical conditions)
Educational grounds
Economic reasons
Reasons for instability in the immigrant's country (political, economic, social)
How to apply for the I-601 waiver?
