Hardship Waivers
The I-601A Provisional Hardship Waiver and the I-601 Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility may be filed to permit an alien deemed inadmissible to the United States to gain admission as a lawful permanent resident or a K-1 fiancé(e). Applicants are required to prove extreme hardship to a qualifying United States citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent and by extension children, which would result if the alien’s inadmissibility cannot be waived. Applicants must prove their eligibility on statutory grounds as well as establish they merit an exercise of favorable discretion by the immigration authorities.
