Proving Hardship For I-601 Waivers Is Difficult, But Not Impossible

Several years ago, when I first talked about about putting together a short training on family unity with immigration non-profit and community organizations, I was asked to cover three main issues:

  • What are the biggest mistakes that immigrants can make in preparing their family unity cases?

  • What is the possibility that immigrants can win an I-601 waiver on their own, without a lawyer?

  • What steps can immigrants take to improve their hardship cases and their chances of winning?

All of these questions have one thing in common.


Fear.


But it’s a fear that can be overcome.


With knowledge.


Our hardship mini-course will help you learn what it takes to earn a family unity waiver and keep your family together – with or without a lawyer – and jumpstart your case to success..
