Hardship Waiver for Unlawful Presence (I-601)
Hardship Waiver (I-601) — Forgive Unlawful Presence and Move Forward
If you are inadmissible because of unlawful presence, you may still be able to get a green card—but only after applying for a hardship waiver. This waiver asks the government to forgive your past time in the U.S. without legal status.
To qualify for a hardship waiver, you must meet two key requirements:
✅ You must have a qualifying relative—either a spouse or parent who is a U.S. citizen or green card holder. You must show that they would suffer extreme hardship if you are not allowed to stay together.
✅ You must have a family member eligible to petition for you now, such as a spouse or parent who can file Form I-130 on your behalf.
🤔 If you have not already spoken to us and confirmed eligibility, you may want to set up a consultation with us first.
ℹ️ USCIS does not consider how the separation affects you personally. The waiver is based only on the hardship to your U.S. citizen or green card–holding spouse or parent. Family separation alone is not enough—you must provide compelling documentation of medical, financial, or emotional hardship.
🕐 The process is complex and often takes several years to complete from start to finish.
☀️ We will be glad to represent you through every step of the process.
💳 Flat Fee: $11,000
We charge $1,000/month for 11 months. This includes both the immigrant petition and the I-601 waiver.
We will begin working on your case immediately after your first payment, and we won’t delay.
Our flat fee includes:
✔︎ Drafting and submitting the Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
✔︎ After the I-130 is approved, assisting with all required steps at the National Visa Center (NVC)
✔︎ Drafting and submitting the Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (Form I-601), and helping you gather documentation to prove the hardships your qualifying family member would face
✔︎ Preparing and supporting you through the final consular processing steps to schedule your interview at the U.S. Consulate abroad
✔︎ If your visa is approved, you will receive a visa to enter the U.S., and your green card will be mailed to you shortly after arrival
ℹ️ The government filing fees are not included in our flat fee. (Our fee covers legal representation only.)
🖊 📋 After we receive your first payment, we will send you an Attorney-Client Contract to sign electronically, along with a secure intake form and a checklist of documents to start gathering.
💬 You can contact us by e-mail, phone, or video throughout the process. We’ll be here to answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.
