I-601 - Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility
Broader inadmissibility waiver covering unlawful presence, criminal grounds, fraud, or health-related grounds.
Overview
Broader inadmissibility waiver covering unlawful presence, criminal grounds, fraud, or health-related grounds.
The I-601 covers a wider range of inadmissibility grounds than the I-601A, including criminal history, immigration fraud, and certain health-related issues. It is typically filed during or after consular processing when a broader waiver is needed. The extreme hardship standard applies, and our evaluation documents the clinical impact on the qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR relative.
