Inadmissibility Waivers Attorney In Washington, DC
What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?
If an immigration officer has determined that you are inadmissible to the United States, it may feel like you have run out of options and that the situation is hopeless, but it's important to remember that there are still viable avenues available to pursue. The experienced attorneys at Lacki & Company, LLC are here to provide you with the guidance and support you need to navigate the complexities of the legal process during this challenging time. Our team can assist you in preparing and filing for an inadmissibility waiver. This waiver is a crucial step in ensuring that your case is thoroughly evaluated.
We understand that the emotional and practical implications of such a decision can be overwhelming. That's why our dedicated team is committed to meeting with you and your family to closely assess and identify the various types of hardship your permanent U.S. resident or citizen family member would face if you were unable to live in the United States.
This waiver, commonly referred to as a “hardship waiver,” is an essential tool that allows immigration authorities to take into account the psychological, physical, and financial impacts on your family member when making a decision regarding your case. By understanding and presenting these potential hardships effectively, we can build a stronger case that emphasizes the critical importance of your presence in the lives of your loved ones and works towards a positive resolution. Your family's well-being is our top priority, and we are here to fight for your right to remain together.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers
If your inadmissibility is due to unlawful presence in the U.S., fraud or misrepresentation, or crimes involving moral turpitude, you will need to apply for an I-601 or I-601-A hardship waiver. Because these cases involve violations of U.S. law, the waiver process can be challenging and stressful. You must not only demonstrate the hardship your family member would face but also provide a compelling reason why the U.S. government should grant forgiveness for your actions. The required level of hardship can range from extreme to “extraordinary and extremely unusual,” depending on the circumstances. At Lacki & Company, LLC, our attorneys have helped clients navigate these complex cases and work to address even the toughest barriers to admissibility.

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers
If you’ve been living in the U.S. on a J-1 visa—whether as a researcher, teacher, student, cultural exchange participant, au pair, government consultant, or in another capacity—you may be required to return to your home country for two years before applying for a green card. However, if you have family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who would face hardship without you here, you may be eligible to apply for a J-1 inadmissibility waiver.
While the waiver requires meeting a high standard, the attorneys at Lacki & Company, LLC can review your situation to determine if your family’s circumstances qualify. If they do, we will prepare a strong case to help maximize your chances of approval. Contact our legal team today to discuss your options.
