**now my questions is anyone who has already done a I-601 waiver for a fiancée, (Canada)

1. what other documents does one need? do you need to have originals of any forms/paperwork (police records, citizenship, etc.)

2. do you need to also acknowledge why the fiancée was denied (moral turpitude) do you need their police records, statements, letter from them?(originals/copies)?

3. does the USCIS only care for the extreme hardship the US Citizen would incur in that portion of the packet, since the fiancée is already denied for having a charge involved in moral turpitude?

Please anyone who has done a I-601 waiver packet via attorney or on their own guide me so I have all the paperwork. Please give me any input.

My main concern is putting the packet together properly and also having legitimate proper format for the hardship letter.

I consulted with 3 attorney's and unfortunately the fee's are extremely high, which I cannot afford at the time. I learned from my research the I-601 waiver is kind of like a k-1 visa binder.

You need to be organized, good grammar, to the point and sincerity and have the following in the I-601:

use fasteners or a folder with two prongs on the top.

tabs should be on the bottom

1. a brief explaining a bit about the relationship with your fiancée abroad

2. a letter explaining the hardships you will incur with the most extreme hardship first to show emphasis. Along with the hardship you must have proof.

Qualifying hardships include: illness, if your a caregiver, anyone dependent on you, education, work, debts, property, your spouse that cannot get into U.S. country is not a good place for your future.(need proof of them)

3. affidavits/ letters from mom, dad, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, community, work, doctor

4. any documents like taxes, property docs, statements of credit card, copies of checks that may prove you help with anyone dependent on you.

5. photos of you with your family

6. photos of you with your fiancée

7. basically any strong ties to the US that will enable you to move to another country.

PLEASE, give me your feedback as it will help me.

My fiancée was denied due to a charge of moral turpitude and the waiver is our only option for him to get approved and get a visa so we can get married.

Thank you for the feedback =) , We are filing a I-601, my fiancée has not been to the US ever and has lived in Canada but had a denial due to crime of moral turpitude.

We are not filing the I-601A waiver which is for someone who has illegal, deported or an unlawful presence in the U.S.

I just want some input on people who have submitted the I-601 and make sure I have the correct idea of what the USCIS is looking for. If the packet I will assemble will be missing any important key factors please do let me know.

Thank you again.
