Scope and purpose
This form requests a waiver where the law authorizes one for specified grounds of inadmissibility. Not every ground is waivable, and the required qualifying relative or hardship showing depends on the statutory provision.
Related rules and practical context
Identify the precise ground first, including whether fraud, unlawful presence or another rule is involved. Form I-601A addresses a narrower provisional unlawful-presence process and is not a substitute for all I-601 requests. Evidence should address the applicable legal standard.
