What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?

If an immigration officer has told you that you are inadmissible to the United States, all is not lost. With Jude Law LLC at your side, you can file for an inadmissibility waiver. We will sit down with you and your family and help you identify what kinds of hardships your permanent U.S. resident or citizen family member would experience if you cannot reside in the U.S. Also called a “hardship waiver,” this provision in the U.S. law allows the immigration authorities to consider the hardship your family member would experience if you were not allowed to live in the U.S., taking into consideration the psychological, physical, and financial aspects of your situation. 


An inadmissibility waiver is a legal document that requests for special consideration from the U.S. government to allow an individual who has been deemed inadmissible to enter or remain in the United States. In other words, it serves as a request for forgiveness for any grounds of inadmissibility that may exist.


In order to be eligible for an inadmissibility waiver, you must have a family member who is either a permanent U.S. resident or a U.S. citizen. This family member must also prove that they would suffer extreme hardship if you were not allowed to enter or remain in the U.S. Examples of extreme hardships include separation from loved ones, financial instability, and medical issues.


The process of obtaining an inadmissibility waiver can be complex and time-consuming. It requires the submission of various forms, supporting documents, and evidence to prove eligibility for the waiver. It is highly recommended to seek the assistance of an experienced immigration lawyer to guide you through this process.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers

If your inadmissibility arises from unlawful presence in the U.S., fraud or misrepresentation, or crimes of moral turpitude, you must apply for an I-601 or I-601-A hardship waiver. Since these situations involve breaking the U.S. law, obtaining these waivers can be a stressful, even intimidating process. You’ll need to not only prove that your family member would experience hardship, but you must also explain why the U.S. government should forgive you for the acts you committed. Depending on the act or acts you committed, the standard of hardship ranges from extreme to “extraordinary and extremely unusual.” However, our immigration attorney has successfully steered our clients through these situations and will fight to overcome even these barriers to admissibility.

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers

If you’ve been living in the U.S. on a J-1 visa as a researcher, teacher, student, cultural exchange participant, au pair, a government consultant, or through another endeavor that brought you to the States, you likely must return to your home country for two years before you can obtain a green card. However, if you have family who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who need you to stay in the United States, you can apply for a J-1 inadmissibility waiver. Although the standard required to obtain the waiver is “exceptional,” our skilled immigration attorney can look at your case to see whether your family’s needs meet that standard. If so, we will put together a rock-solid case that gives you the best chance of receiving a waiver. Get in touch with our legal team today.


If you came to the United States as an exchange participant, au pair, government consultant, or through any other program that required you to return home after a specific period of time, you may be facing certain challenges in obtaining a green card.


According to immigration laws, individuals who enter the country on a nonimmigrant visa must fulfill their purpose for coming to the United States and return to their home country for two years before they can apply for permanent residency. This is known as the "two-year rule." However, we understand that circumstances can change and sometimes plans don't go exactly as expected. If you have family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and they require your presence in the United States, you may be eligible to apply for a waiver of the two-year rule.


To qualify for the waiver, you must be able to prove that your absence from the United States would cause extreme hardship to your U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member(s). Extreme hardship is defined as more than just inconvenience or separation; it must be an exceptional and unusual situation that significantly impacts the well-being of your family member(s).
