PROFESSIONAL I-601, I-601A & I-212
WAIVER PREPARATION SERVICES

My 601 Waivers is a fully remote immigration paralegal support team dedicated exclusively to preparing high-quality waiver application packets for immigration attorneys and their clients. We specialize in Form I-601 (Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility), Form I-601A (Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver), and related hardship documentation, delivering meticulously organized, attorney-ready submissions designed to support strong USCIS adjudication outcomes.

Yes! In fact, this is one of the primary reasons we exist. If you choose document collection support, clients are invited to My Immigration Hub, our secure online platform designed to simplify the process. Through the Hub, clients can: • Upload documents securely • Receive clear, organized document checklists • Communicate directly with our team • Track progress in real time • Receive personalized guidance every step of the way We handle the follow-up, organization, and quality control so attorneys can focus on legal strategy—not chasing documents.

The required documents vary depending on the specific facts of each case. However, most waiver applications — including Form I-601 (Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility) and Form I-601A (Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver) — often require evidence demonstrating extreme hardship to a qualifying relative. Common supporting documents may include: • Proof of qualifying family relationship (marriage certificates, birth certificates) • Proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status of the qualifying relative • Medical records and physician letters • Financial documentation (tax returns, pay stubs, monthly bills, debts, proof of financial dependency) • Education records (school enrollment verification, transcripts, tuition statements, special education plans, academic awards) • Psychological evaluations • Personal hardship statements • Country condition reports • Evidence of community ties and good moral character Because every hardship case is unique, documentation is carefully tailored to the specific circumstances of the qualifying relative and the ground of inadmissibility. Our team is fully prepared to help identify, request, organize, and follow up on all necessary evidence to ensure the strongest possible submission.

No. My 601 Waivers does not provide legal advice or legal representation. We are an immigration paralegal support company that assists with document preparation, organization, and case assembly. Our services include preparing forms, organizing exhibits, drafting detailed hardship affidavits, and compiling supporting documentation. However, we do not provide legal opinions, legal strategy, or substitute for the advice or representation of a licensed immigration attorney. All legal advice, case strategy, and attorney-client relationships remain solely between the client and their retained attorney.

Case timelines vary primarily based on how quickly clients provide the required documents and information. For highly motivated clients who submit documents promptly, cases can be completed in just a few weeks. Most cases average a few months from start to finish. Only occasionally, when document submission is significantly delayed—do cases extend closer to a year. The document collection phase is the most variable stage of the process. Once all required materials have been received and the case is cleared for drafting, our structured internal workflow allows us to move efficiently and consistently. In most instances, we are able to finalize and ship a completed waiver packet within approximately two weeks of completing document collection. We do not close cases based on an arbitrary timeline. A case is only finalized when we genuinely believe it is fully prepared and ready for submission. As part of our internal quality standard, we consistently ask ourselves: Would we feel confident submitting this case if it were for our own family? That benchmark guides every file we prepare. Our phase-based preparation system ensures steady progress, thorough documentation, and thoughtful case presentation—so families and attorneys alike can move forward with clarity and confidence.

My 601 Waivers serves licensed immigration attorneys nationwide. Our clients are attorneys who retain us to prepare comprehensive waiver application packets for their clients. While we work directly with individuals and families during the document collection and preparation process, we do so on behalf of and in coordination with a licensed immigration attorney. We do not directly contract with individuals or families, and all legal representation, advice, and case strategy remain the responsibility of the attorney of record.

We assist with the preparation of a variety of hardship-based immigration waivers, including: • I-601 – Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility • I-601A – Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver • I-212 – Permission to Reapply for Admission After Removal or Deportation • Additional immigration matters emphasizing extreme hardship as requested through our services interface Our primary focus is on hardship-driven waiver filings that require detailed documentation, organized evidence, and carefully drafted affidavits.

Our preparation process is structured, transparent, and phase-based to ensure consistency and quality. It typically unfolds in three main stages: 1. Intake & Document Submission The intake questionnaire must be completed and supporting documentation gathered before drafting can begin. Professional Service (Document Collection Assistance Included) If document collection assistance is selected—our Professional Service option—we guide the client through structured document requests and maintain regular follow-up using our secure platform to ensure nothing is overlooked throughout the process. Because document collection is the most variable stage, total turnaround time typically ranges from a few weeks to several months, depending on how quickly the client is able to provide the requested information and documentation. Once document collection is complete, we proceed through our structured drafting, assembly, and internal review workflow. Essential Service (No Document Collection Assistance) If document collection assistance is not selected—our Essential Service option—the attorney provides the completed questionnaire and all supporting documentation in a one-time submission at intake. Once the file is deemed complete and cleared for drafting, total turnaround time is typically just a few weeks, as we move directly into drafting, assembly, and final review. Both service levels follow the same internal quality-control workflow once drafting begins, ensuring consistent preparation standards regardless of the intake model selected. 2. Case Preparation & Assembly Once documentation is complete, our team prepares the full waiver packet, which may include: • Required USCIS forms • Organized exhibits • Detailed hardship statements • Financial tables and summaries • Table of contents and exhibit indexing Each case moves through a structured internal workflow to promote consistency, clarity, and thoroughness. 3. Delivery for Attorney Review The completed case is delivered fully organized and ready for attorney review and filing. The retained attorney maintains responsibility for legal strategy, final review, NVC fee payment receipts, filing fees, and submission.

My Immigration Hub is our secure client portal designed to streamline communication, document collection, and case preparation. Through the Hub, clients can: • Securely upload documents from any device • Communicate directly with our team via messaging and video • Receive structured document requests • Track case progress in real time This centralized system reduces confusion, prevents lost documents, and keeps everyone aligned throughout the preparation process. By organizing communication and evidence in one secure location, My Immigration Hub helps make waiver preparation more efficient, transparent, and seamless for both clients and attorneys. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4dcb1f_1512245b62d64e158b6a8a7e887d9e62~mv2.jpg

You can reach our team by submitting the contact form on our website or by scheduling a live demo to learn more about our services and workflow. Once we begin working together, you will have direct access to the staff assigned to assist with your cases, ensuring clear communication and consistent support throughout the preparation process. We are committed to responsive, professional communication at every stage of our partnership.

My 601 Waivers offers specialized, waiver-focused preparation support without the overhead of hiring, training, and managing additional staff. Unlike a general in-house paralegal, our team works exclusively on hardship-based immigration filings and follows a structured, multi-phase internal workflow refined over thousands of cases. This provides: • Consistent formatting and presentation • Structured document collection systems • Built-in quality control • Predictable turnaround timelines • No payroll, benefits, or management burden We function as an extension of your firm—without increasing internal overhead. That standard guides every submission.

The retained immigration attorney remains fully responsible for all legal advice, strategy, and final case submission. My 601 Waivers prepares the packet, organizes evidence, and drafts supporting materials, but legal review, attorney-client relationships, and filing decisions remain solely with the attorney of record.

No. We do not communicate with USCIS, the Department of State, or any government agency. Our role is limited to case preparation and support under the direction of a licensed immigration attorney.

Yes. We assist in organizing and preparing responses to RFEs and NOIDs related to waiver filings. If our team prepared the original filing, we can often provide RFE or NOID response support at a reduced cost or zero cost, as we are already familiar with the structure and documentation of the case. If we did not prepare the original submission, we typically recommend preparing a full waiver packet to the standard of excellence we maintain in every case. This allows us to ensure the file is properly structured, thoroughly documented, and aligned with our internal quality benchmarks before responding. While the retained attorney remains responsible for legal strategy and final submission decisions, we assist with: • Identifying documentation gaps • Gathering supplemental evidence • Drafting updated or expanded hardship statements • Organizing and indexing exhibits • Structuring the response packet for clarity and strength Our goal is to ensure that any RFE or NOID response is comprehensive, organized, and professionally assembled—without sacrificing thoroughness or compliance. RFE / NOID Guarantee (Professional Service Only) We offer an RFE or NOID preparation guarantee for cases enrolled in our Professional Service option. If we prepared the original filing and an RFE or NOID is issued, we will prepare the response at no additional preparation cost, provided the request relates to documentation that was properly requested and submitted during the original preparation process. This guarantee does not apply in circumstances where: • The client failed to provide requested documents during the original preparation phase; • Required evidence was withheld or incomplete despite follow-up; • USCIS requests entirely new categories of documentation not reasonably anticipated under standard adjudication practices; or • The attorney directs a strategic shift that requires substantial reworking of the original case presentation. In such situations, additional preparation fees may apply. As always, the retained attorney remains responsible for legal strategy, final response decisions, and submission.

While our primary focus is hardship-based waivers, we also assist with related filings such as: • I-212 Permission to Reapply based on extreme hardship only • Extreme hardship-based immigration support documentation • Other waiver-related submissions as requested through our services interface Our specialization remains detailed, hardship-driven case assembly.

Yes. Many of our partnering firms submit cases in batches. Our structured onboarding process and scalable internal workflow are designed to accommodate growing caseloads while maintaining consistency, quality control, and predictable turnaround times. Whether you submit one case or multiple cases simultaneously, each file moves through the same organized preparation and review standards. We offer both individual case pricing and bulk case pricing options to support firms looking to streamline costs while increasing capacity. If your firm anticipates consistent waiver volume, we’re happy to discuss a structure that aligns with your workflow and growth goals.

We do not move into final drafting until a case is sufficiently documented. Our goal is not speed alone—but strength, completeness, and responsible preparation. Professional Service (Client Contact Included) If documentation gaps are identified during intake or collection, we provide structured follow-up and maintain regular communication with the client to clarify what is still needed. Our team works proactively to request missing items and support steady progress. If it becomes clear that an individual is unable to provide certain requested documents, we convey those details to the attorney so the attorney can make informed decisions prior to filing. Essential Service (No Client Contact) For Essential Service cases, the attorney provides all documentation during a one-time submission at intake. During preparation, we conduct a careful review of the materials provided. If we identify missing documentation, inconsistencies, or details that may warrant clarification, we include those observations in our case evaluation so the attorney may address them internally before final submission.

Yes. Subject to current caseload availability, cases may be expedited for an additional fee. If a case involves a sensitive deadline, we ask that this be communicated at intake so our team can assess scheduling feasibility from the outset. Early notice allows us to plan appropriately and determine whether an expedited timeline can be accommodated.

The single biggest factor affecting timeline is document responsiveness. Clients who promptly upload requested documents, respond to follow-ups, and complete evaluations quickly often see cases finalized within just a few weeks. Delays in document submission can extend overall timelines significantly.

Once the completed waiver packet is delivered, the retained attorney conducts final legal review, obtains required signatures, ensures filing fee and other NVC fees are paid, and files the case with the appropriate agency. If any significant concerns or revisions arise that relate to our preparation, we encourage you to contact us promptly. We are committed to supporting our partnering attorneys and will assist as needed. Our role concludes at organized case preparation unless additional revisions, RFE responses, or NOID support are requested at a later date.

Every case moves through a structured, multi-stage internal workflow designed to promote consistency, clarity, and thorough preparation. Our process includes: • Intake review and clearance • Drafting phase • Client review of hardship statements for accuracy and completeness • Structured exhibit organization and indexing • Supervisor review • Final formatting and assembly review Each stage serves as a checkpoint to ensure documentation is complete, hardship arguments are clearly supported, and the overall presentation reflects professional standards. We do not finalize cases based on arbitrary timelines. A file is completed only when we believe it is fully prepared, thoroughly supported, and professionally assembled. Our internal benchmark remains simple: we must feel confident in the case as if it were being prepared for our own family.

We utilize secure digital systems to manage document uploads, communication, and case organization. My Immigration Hub centralizes all case communication and document collection within one protected environment, significantly reducing reliance on unsecured email exchanges. The underlying software infrastructure was originally developed for use in the financial services industry, where safeguarding highly sensitive information is critical. This foundation supports secure document transmission, organized access controls, and structured case management. Confidentiality and the professional handling of sensitive personal information are core to our operational standards. We are committed to maintaining a secure, organized, and responsible digital environment for every case we prepare.

My 601 Waivers is best suited for firms that: • Handle hardship-based family immigration filings • Want structured, scalable case preparation support • Value organized, professionally assembled submissions • Would find relief from document chasing • Are looking to increase capacity without increasing overhead We partner with attorneys who appreciate a consistent, process-driven workflow and who want every case presented clearly, thoroughly, and professionally. If your firm is seeking reliable preparation support that strengthens case presentation while allowing you to maintain full control over client representation, we may be an excellent fit.
