The issue of illegal immigration and how to handle illegal immigrants living within the United States has spawned an overwhelming amount of controversy for the past several decades.  This difficult issue is a seemingly endless problem without a simple answer.  And with vastly differing viewpoints on the subject segmenting our society, immigration is a complex problem lacking a sufficient solution that will appease all involved parties.  Our current system leaves many who have established their lives and families within the United States, ultimately faced with living without legal status or banishment from anything they consider home.   I-601 waivers are helping to provide these individuals with a legal opportunity to secure the future for their family, jobs, homes.

Processing your immigrant visa at a US Consulate in your home country, along with an I-601 waiver, is sometimes the only option currently available.  This option is available only to spouses of US citizens or Permanent Residents, unmarried sons or daughters of Permanent Residents, and all sons or daughters of US citizens.  The applicant must show that their US relative will suffer extreme hardship if they are not approved.  Our office will evaluate your case, explain the law fully to you, and offer our opinion as to whether this option is for you.
