Inadmissibility Waivers Attorney
What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?
If an immigration officer has informed you that you are inadmissible to the United States, it does not necessarily mean that your case is over or without hope. Many individuals facing this difficult situation may actually qualify to apply for an inadmissibility waiver, which is often referred to as a “hardship waiver.”
This important process allows immigration authorities to take into account the various challenges and obstacles that your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would experience if you were not allowed to live in the United States with them.
Serving clients nationwide, Andrew Driggs dedicates the time needed to thoroughly understand your unique circumstances and the specific dynamics of your family situation.

These critical details are essential in effectively demonstrating to immigration authorities the compelling reasons why a waiver should be granted and why it is crucial to keep your family united in the United States.
If you believe that you may qualify for an inadmissibility waiver, do not hesitate to contact Andrew Driggs today. He is ready to discuss your case in detail and guide you through the next steps in this complex process.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers
If your inadmissibility is based on unlawful presence, fraud or misrepresentation, or certain crimes involving moral turpitude, you may need to apply for an I-601 or I-601A hardship waiver. These cases can feel overwhelming because they involve past violations of U.S. immigration law, and the waiver process requires a detailed and honest explanation of what happened and why forgiveness should be granted.
In addition to demonstrating the hardship your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would face, you must also show why you merit this form of relief. The standard of hardship varies depending on the circumstances—ranging from “extreme” to “extraordinary and extremely unusual”—and strong documentation is critical.
Serving clients across the country, Andrew Driggs helps individuals navigate this challenging process by organizing evidence, preparing explanations, and presenting the strongest case possible to overcome grounds of inadmissibility.

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers
If you have been living in the United States on a J-1 visa—whether as a teacher, researcher, student, cultural exchange participant, au pair, government consultant, or through another exchange program—you may be subject to the two-year home-country residency requirement. This rule often prevents J-1 visa holders from applying for a green card or certain other visas until they return home for two years.
However, if you have U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members who depend on you, it may be possible to apply for a J-1 waiver. This waiver allows immigration authorities to consider the hardship your family would face if you were required to leave the United States.
Although the standard for a J-1 hardship waiver is considered “exceptional,” many individuals do qualify when their circumstances are clearly documented. Serving clients nationwide, Andrew Driggs reviews each case carefully to determine whether the family’s needs meet the required standard and prepares a strong, well-supported waiver request.
If you believe you may qualify for a J-1 waiver, contact Driggs Immigration Law today to discuss your options.
