Hardship Waiver for Unlawful Presence (I-601)

$1,000 every month for 8 months.

If you remain inadmissible due to unlawful presence, you must go through a process to "forgive" your unlawful presence before you would be allowed to get a green card. This is called a hardship waiver

To pursue the hardship waiver, you must satisfy two requirements:

βœ… You need a qualifying relative, which must be a spouse or parent who is a U.S. citizen or green card holder. To get a hardship waiver, you have to prove that your spouse or parent would suffer extreme hardship if you were separated.

βœ… You must also have a family member who is eligible to petition for you to get a green card right now. 

πŸ—½ We recommend using the Open Borders app to confirm that you are eligible, and that you are buying the correct service for your circumstances.

ℹ️ For this process, they are not interested in hardships that you will experience. They are only concerned about the hardships to your family member.

It is not easy to demonstrate extreme hardship, because the government does not believe that family separation, by itself, is enough. You must work very hard to assemble documents that will prove some special medical, emotional, or financial impacts.

πŸ• This process is slow, and can take well over a year to complete.

β˜€οΈ We will be glad to represent you through the entire process. 

πŸ’³ We handle this type of case on a flat fee basis, and charge $1,000/month for 8 months, for a total of $8,000.00. This includes the underlying petition and the hardship waiver.

We will begin work on your case immediately upon the first payment, and work on your case without delay.

Our flat fee includes: 

βœ”οΈŽ Drafting and submitting a Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). 

βœ”οΈŽ Upon approval of the Form I-130, the file is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). We will assist with all of the steps necessary.

βœ”οΈŽ Drafting and submitting the Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (Form I-601). We will help you develop proof all the hardships your U.S. citizen family member would experience if you remain separated. 

βœ”οΈŽ There are multiple final steps required to schedule an interview at the U.S. Consulate abroad. We will assist with all of these.

βœ”οΈŽ If approved, you will be issued the visa to enter the United States, and will be mailed a green card.

ℹ️ The application filing fees charged by the government are not included in the flat fee. (That just covers our legal work.)

πŸ–Š πŸ“‹ After you make the first payment, we will e-mail you an Attorney-Client Contract that you can sign electronically. Then, we will e-mail you a link to our online intake form, as well as a checklist of items to start collecting. 

πŸ’¬ We are available by e-mail, phone, and video to answer your questions throughout the process.
