Immigration Waivers

Immigration Waivers

Past immigration missteps, such as unlawful presence or entering without inspection, can trigger statutory bans that keep families apart. A waiver (Perdón) is a formal request to the U.S. government to forgive these infractions.

Our attorneys focus meticulously on demonstrating that a denial of admission would result in 'Extreme Hardship' to your qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent. We manage the evidence gathering, legal briefing, and coordination with consular posts like Ciudad Juárez.

What exactly is 'Extreme Hardship'?

It is a complex legal standard. It requires proving that your qualifying relative (spouse or parent) would suffer hardship significantly greater than the standard impact of family separation. This includes medical, financial, and personal factors.

Do I have to wait outside the U.S. for the waiver approval?

If you qualify for the I-601A provisional waiver, you may await the decision while inside the United States. You would only depart for your final consular interview.
