Paths to legal status from unlawful presence
Our step-by-step process ensures your I-601A waiver is prepared with comprehensive hardship evidence, legal precision, and strategic timing.
We review your entry records, I-94, visa status, and travel history to calculate unlawful presence days. You receive a clear explanation of 3-year vs. 10-year bars, trigger dates, and waiver eligibility before proceeding.
Your case strategy is built around I-601A eligibility, qualifying relative hardship, and consular processing feasibility. We analyze whether you qualify for provisional waiver vs. other relief options including adjustment waivers or VAWA.
I-601A requires proving extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen spouse or parent. We gather medical records, financial evidence, country conditions, psychological evaluations, and expert affidavits to demonstrate compelling hardship.
We prepare and file your I-601A provisional waiver with USCIS while you remain in the U.S. After approval, you depart for consular processing with reduced risk of extended separation from family.
After I-601A approval, you attend your immigrant visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate. We coordinate NVC processing, interview preparation, and reentry to the U.S. with your immigrant visa and green card.

Important: If you have overstayed your visa, do not depart the U.S. without legal advice. Departure after accruing 180+ days of unlawful presence triggers the 3-year or 10-year bar. We analyze your timeline and develop waiver strategies before any travel.
If you have unlawful presence and a U.S. citizen spouse or parent, the I-601A provisional waiver may allow you to obtain a green card through consular processing. Start with a consultation.
Unlawful presence calculation is complex. We analyze your entry records, I-94, visa expirations, and status changes to determine bar triggers and waiver options.
Overstaying your visa creates unlawful presence. If you accrue 180+ days of unlawful presence and depart the U.S., you trigger a 3-year bar. If you accrue 1+ year and depart, you trigger a 10-year bar. We analyze your timeline and waiver options.
The I-601A provisional unlawful presence waiver allows certain individuals with approved immigrant visa petitions to apply for a waiver of the 3-year or 10-year bar before departing the U.S. for consular processing. This reduces separation from U.S. citizen family members.
You may qualify if you have an approved I-130 or I-140, a U.S. citizen spouse or parent, no other bars to admission, and can demonstrate extreme hardship to your qualifying relative. We provide eligibility analysis during consultation.
Extreme hardship is hardship beyond normal separation. USCIS considers health conditions, financial impact, country conditions, family ties, and other factors. We develop hardship cases with medical records, expert letters, and comprehensive evidence.
If you entered without inspection or overstayed, you generally cannot adjust status unless you qualify for an exception (e.g., immediate relative of U.S. citizen with lawful entry, 245(i) eligibility, VAWA). We analyze adjustment eligibility and alternatives.
I-601A processing times vary by USCIS workload. Current processing is approximately 12-24 months. After approval, consular processing adds 3-6 months. During consultation, we provide realistic timing for your case.
Prior removal orders and unlawful reentry create additional bars. You may need I-212 permission to reapply for admission in addition to I-601A. We analyze all bars and develop comprehensive waiver strategies.
No. You should not depart the U.S. while I-601A is pending. Departure before approval can cause automatic denial. We provide travel guidance and timeline management throughout the waiver process.
