Inadmissibility Waivers Attorney In Dallas, Texas

What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?

If an immigration officer has informed you that you are inadmissible to the United States, it does not mean your case is over. You may still be able to remain in — or return to — the country by applying for an inadmissibility waiver.


Pedro A. Lopez, based in Dallas, Texas, and serving clients nationwide, helps individuals and families prepare strong waiver applications. He works closely with clients to identify the types of hardships a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would face if you were not allowed to live in the United States.


Also known as a “hardship waiver,” this form of relief allows immigration authorities to consider the emotional, physical, and financial impact your absence would have on your loved ones. By clearly demonstrating these hardships, you can give your application the best chance of approval. If you’ve been told you are inadmissible, don’t lose hope. Contact López Onna Abogado de Inmigración today to discuss your situation and explore whether a hardship waiver may be the right option for you.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers

If your inadmissibility is based on unlawful presence, fraud or misrepresentation, or a crime involving moral turpitude, you may need to apply for a Form I-601 or Form I-601A hardship waiver. These cases can be complex and emotionally challenging because they require you to not only demonstrate the hardship your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would face, but also explain why the U.S. government should grant forgiveness for the actions that led to your inadmissibility.


The standard of hardship depends on the circumstances and can range from “extreme hardship” to “extraordinary and extremely unusual hardship.”


Pedro A. Lopez, based in Dallas, Texas, and serving clients nationwide, helps individuals navigate this process carefully and thoroughly. He works to present your case in a way that fully captures both the hardship to your family and your commitment to compliance moving forward.


If you’ve been deemed inadmissible and believe you may qualify for a hardship waiver, don’t wait to seek help. Contact López Onna Abogado de Inmigración today to schedule a consultation and discuss your options for overcoming this challenge.

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers

If you have been living in the United States on a J-1 visa — whether as a researcher, teacher, student, cultural exchange participant, au pair, government consultant, or through another exchange program — you are generally required to return to your home country for two years before becoming eligible for a green card.


However, if you have U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members who would face significant hardship if you left, you may qualify for a J-1 waiver that allows you to remain in the United States. The standard for this type of waiver is considered exceptional, and strong documentation is required to prove the hardship your family would experience.


Pedro A. Lopez, based in Dallas, Texas, and serving clients nationwide, helps J-1 visa holders prepare and present thorough waiver applications that clearly demonstrate their family’s needs and meet the legal standard for relief. If you believe you may qualify for a J-1 waiver, don’t wait to get help. Contact López Onna Abogado de Inmigración today to discuss your situation and explore your options for staying in the United States.
