Hello,

I'm applying for my mother and we have our interview in Ciudad Juarez this Sep. We are going to start the process to fill out a 601 hardship waiver.

Has anyone has had a waiver approval for parents or heard of anyone being approved?

Please, we need help!

Did you consult with an attorney to find out if it's possible to file a waiver for a parent?

That's the first thing you need to know before proceeding any further. If a waiver is not an option, she will be denied at the interview with no legal way to return to the US.

Hello,

Yes and no. We talked to approx 5 attny and they all said something completely different. I have been doing some reading and thanks to your advice, I know that there is a possibility with a waiver. I will contact the attny you recommended; however, my mother wanted to wait until we had the appointment date which we have now. It has been scheduled for late Sep.

Some Attny told my mother that she needs to go to the appointment no matter what, bc if she fails to appear they will start deportation proceedings. I think it will be a little easier to appeal deportation from here then if she leaves the country and tries to re-enter. What do you think?

We have been in the States for 21 yrs and we all are citizens except for her.

Thank you

This part is not true -- she does not need to go to the appointment - you can simply cancel it. That doesn't mean they won't try to deport her at some time, but not as a result of not attending an interview.

But if you go to the interview and it turns out that no waiver is available, she will be stuck there with no way to return legally. So you should find out first, and be 100% clear, whether or not she qualifies in the first place. If not, personally I wouldn't go to the interview knowing that she will never have a legal way to return. My concern is that most attorneys say that law says: "applicant (alien) must prove that denial of the waiver would cause an extreme hardship to the applicant's US citizen or permanent resident spouse or parent (or US citizen fiance(e)) . This implies that hardship to a son is not relevant. I would talk to Laurel Scott and clarify your options and consider cancelling the interview.
