This waiver is typically sought by individuals who can demonstrate that their exclusion would cause extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member. It is often used in family-based immigration cases to facilitate the reunification of families. The approval of a 601 waiver is discretionary and depends on the specific circumstances of each case.
