What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?
If an immigration officer has determined that you are inadmissible to the United States, you may still have options available. In certain situations, individuals may apply for an inadmissibility waiver, sometimes referred to as a hardship waiver. This process allows immigration authorities to consider whether denying admission would cause significant hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers
If a finding of inadmissibility is based on unlawful presence in the United States, fraud or misrepresentation, or certain criminal issues, it may be necessary to apply for an I-601 or I-601A hardship waiver. These applications can feel overwhelming, as they involve addressing past immigration or legal violations and requesting forgiveness under U.S. immigration law.
In these cases, applicants must do more than show that a qualifying family member would experience hardship. They must also clearly explain the circumstances surrounding the violation and demonstrate why approval of the waiver is justified. Depending on the situation, the required standard may involve showing extreme hardship or, in some cases, an even higher level of hardship.
Karina Herhusky works closely with clients in Durham, North Carolina, and throughout the United States to carefully prepare hardship waiver applications and supporting evidence. She helps clients present their circumstances clearly and thoughtfully, with attention to both the legal requirements and the human impact involved.

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers
If you have been in the United States on a J-1 visa as a researcher, teacher, student, au pair, cultural exchange participant, government consultant, or in another qualifying program, you may be subject to the two-year home residency requirement before becoming eligible for permanent residence. This requirement can be challenging, especially when remaining in the United States is important for family or other qualifying reasons.
In certain situations, it may be possible to apply for a J-1 waiver of this requirement. These waivers are often based on the hardship that a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would face if you were required to leave the country. Meeting the applicable legal standard can be demanding and requires careful documentation and presentation of the circumstances involved.
Karina Herhusky works directly with clients in Durham, North Carolina, and throughout the United States to evaluate whether a J-1 waiver may be available and to prepare waiver applications that clearly address the required criteria. If you are subject to the J-1 home residency requirement and would like to explore your options, contact Herhusky Law Office, PLLC to schedule a consultation.
