Hardship letter, Need Help! A Little confused.

[mrs_yslha 0]

Hi Everyone! I am currently in the process of writing a hardship letter for my mother. I'm a little confused about this process. My mother has been here in the US as an illegal alien. For a while now she has been dealing with lawyers to fix her citizenship and recently everything is moving along well. I'm pretty much out of the loop most of the time about how things are processing, but i do know for sure i am the one who is petitioning her. So just this past week she mentioned to me that she is going to need a hardship letter. Does this regard "hardships" i will face if she is deported, or what? I am married with a family of my own, but i do have a younger brother & my grandparents that are also in need of care. Sorry i'm not more thorough, as i said i really have no clue what im supposed to be doing. please help. thank you!

Its the EXTREME hardships you will face should your mother not be allowed to stay in ocuntry with you, and also the reason(s) why you cannot leave the country to go be with her.

have a look at www.immigrate2us.net - theres a wealth of info on waiver packets there.

I don't know what your mother's citizenship has to do with preventing her deportation from the United States, but you cannot pull this off on your own. No way.

Hi, Sorry if you didnt catch what i had said in my first post, but i am not doing this on "my own". Like i said we have the help of lawyers and the process of her visa is moving along well. My questions were merely regarding the "hardship waiver". Thank you for your concern.

I think Bob was referring to your reference in your first post about fixing her citizenship. She cannot go straight from illegal to US citizen so where you referring to her native country citizenship or some papers related thereof?

You should ask the attorney to prepare the letter for you but you would provide the reasons which as stated previously would have to show why it would be an EXTREME hardship on YOU if your mother were not allowed to remain here.

Sorry I'm not more detailed. My mother already has her Green Card, So we are currently working on her becoming a USC. I dont know if that makes any sense, like i said I'm pretty out of the loop about this stuff.

But if she already had a greencard, then her previous illegal status has already been forgiven, and no hardship waiver is required.
