The I-601A provisional waiver lets certain people who accrued unlawful presence in the United States seek forgiveness of that ground of inadmissibility before departing for a consular interview abroad, reducing the time the family is separated.
The waiver generally requires showing extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent-resident spouse or parent. The flat fee covers the full path: the family petition, the waiver itself, and the consular stage that follows approval.
Border Crossing Law Firm handles this service for a clear flat fee of $1,000/month for 11 months, $11,000 in total. Work on your case begins with the first payment. Government filing fees are separate and not included in the legal fee.
For Form I-601A (provisional unlawful presence waiver), USCIS currently reports that at a typical office, half of cases finish within about 2.2 years and 8 in 10 finish within about 2.5 years (USCIS data, July 15, 2026). See current USCIS processing times for your office.
Government filing fees change frequently. We confirm the current amounts with you again at the time of filing, and the firm is not responsible for government fee increases.
Waiver approval does not eliminate the consular interview abroad.
After the first payment, the firm e-mails an Attorney-Client Contract for electronic signature, a link to the online intake form, and a checklist of documents to start collecting. Attorney Shahid Haque is available by e-mail, phone, and video throughout the case.
