Form I-601 (Waiver of Inadmissibility)

Form I-601 is an application filed by a foreign national seeking a waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility, such as health-related issues, criminal offenses, or immigration violations. The form allows the applicant to explain the circumstances surrounding their inadmissibility and to demonstrate that they merit a favorable exercise of discretion based on factors such as family ties, hardship, or public interest. Form I-601 is typically filed in conjunction with an immigrant visa or adjustment of status application and is adjudicated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
