If an immigrant visa is denied, or if it is clear that the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition is inadmissible, the immigrant visa applicant can file for a waiver of inadmissibility. The waiver of inadmissibility is generally a substantial packet including the I-601 form and a large amount of documentary evidence persuading the United States consulate to waive the inadmissibility grounds. The waiver application can only be filed after the consulate interview is completed and a formal finding of inadmissibility has been made. There is no pre-processing for most waiver applications.

The I-601 extreme hardship waiver packet should include probative and credible evidence organized to persuade the officer that extreme hardship will result if the waiver is not approved. I-601 waivers are available to individuals with a history of unlawful presence or criminal convictions in the United States.

Many visa applicants attempt to save money by hiring immigration service providers or notarios rather than a licensed immigration attorney. In almost all cases, this results in denials, delays and a tremendous amount of problems.
