People who are inadmissible because of unlawful presence may need a Form I-601 hardship waiver in connection with consular processing before an immigrant visa can be approved.
The waiver generally requires extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent-resident spouse or parent. The flat fee covers the family petition, the waiver, and the final consular stage.
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-601 (waiver of inadmissibility), USCIS currently reports that at a typical office, half of cases finish within about 2.7 years and 8 in 10 finish within about 3.4 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.
The filing stage differs from the I-601A provisional waiver; a consultation can confirm which waiver applies to your situation.
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.
