What is an I-601 waiver and who needs one?

Yes. An I-601 waiver is for individuals inadmissible to the US who need a waiver to obtain a green card.

Expedited processing may be available in certain emergency situations. An experienced I 601 Waiver Lawyer Madison County can help ensure your application is complete to avoid delays.

Can I apply for a green card while in removal proceedings?
