Immigration law is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified in 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101 et seq. The INA establishes grounds of inadmissibility, removal proceedings, and waiver eligibility. An I-601 waiver allows individuals who are inadmissible on certain grounds to seek a discretionary waiver of that inadmissibility. The waiver is available for humanitarian purposes, to keep families together, or when it is in the public interest. The burden is on the applicant to prove extreme hardship to a qualifying relative. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. assists Wayne County residents with these complex applications.
