North Texas • Dallas-Fort Worth • Mid Cities • Grand Prairie • Irving

Under U.S. immigration law, certain grounds for deportation and inadmissibility can be waived when “extreme hardship” can be shown to a qualifying family member. Through hardship waivers, the close relatives of a United States citizen or legal permanent resident can fight against deportation and removal. At Ollie R. Jefferson, Attorney at Law, we provide strategic counsel and support to help families and defendants obtain hardship waivers.

Obtaining a hardship waiver:

• When a person has lived in the United States illegally for 180 days, in a lot of cases they are not eligible to apply for adjustment of status, but must do consular processing in order to apply for the immigrant visa
• There is a punishment built in when living illegally, forcing the illegal immigrants to return to home country for either 3 years or 10 years before returning to the United States
• When you are facing deportation and removal and need an immigrant visa, green card, we can aggressively protect your rights and help you apply for a hardship waiver (or pardon) to avoid the 3 or 10-year bar.
• When you obtain a hardship waiver, you may be able to return to the United States more quickly.
• It will be necessary to show that the relative with a green card or citizenship would suffer extreme hardship if the other relative was kept out of the country
• A hardship waiver may also be available in cases of criminal conviction or fraudulent documentation
