An I-601 Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility allows a non-citizen alien to immigrate to the United States, adjust their status to permanent residence, or seek admission to the United States in a nonimmigrant status, if certain grounds of inadmissibility, circumstances, or conduct prevent them from being otherwise admissible. The I-601 application applies to certain aliens who believe they are ineligible for admission to the United States based on certain grounds of inadmissibility.

The I-601 and I-601A waiver application process is extremely complex primarily due to the high level of scrutiny these applications face when under review by an immigration officer. The process is emotionally charged, time consuming, document heavy, and extremely invasive. On average, the process takes approximately 12 months or more. This timeframe does not take into account any delays that may be caused by requests for evidence or any delays that may be caused by the National Visa Center which processes thousands of applications everyday. The waiver process requires a law firm that is thorough and has exceptional attention to detail.
