Extreme Hardship

Extreme hardship refers to severe difficulties or challenges that significantly impact an individual’s well-being or ability to function in life. This can include severe financial distress, health issues, or personal circumstances that create overwhelming obstacles. In legal contexts, such as immigration, it's often used to describe situations where a person’s removal from a country could lead to devastating consequences for them or their family. The term signifies conditions that go beyond normal hardship and typically require special consideration or intervention to alleviate the burden faced by the individual or family.
