Form I-601A

Form I-601A, officially known as the Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver, is a U.S. immigration form that allows certain individuals to request a waiver for being in the U.S. without legal status, before leaving the country for a visa interview. This process helps applicants avoid being separated from their families for long periods due to unlawful presence penalties. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate that their U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent would face extreme hardship if the waiver is not granted. The form aims to streamline the immigration process for eligible individuals.
