Charlotte Inadmissibility Waivers Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide
What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?
If an immigration officer has informed you that you are inadmissible to the United States, it is important to understand that this does not signal the end of your case or your hopes for a future in the country. In fact, you may still have a viable path forward through the option of an inadmissibility waiver.
Melody Busey works diligently with individuals and families across the nation to identify and articulate the various types of hardship a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would experience if you were not permitted to live in the United States. This often-referred-to “hardship waiver” provides a crucial opportunity for immigration officials to take into account the emotional, physical, and financial effects that your absence would impose on your loved ones.
By meticulously documenting these hardships and presenting them in a clear and compelling manner, Melody Busey assists you in pursuing the necessary relief that could ultimately allow you to remain united with your family in the United States, thereby preserving the important bonds that hold you together.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers
If your inadmissibility is based on unlawful presence, misrepresentation, or certain criminal offenses, you may need to apply for an I-601 or I-601A hardship waiver. These cases can feel overwhelming because they involve asking the U.S. government to forgive past actions while also proving that your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would suffer significant hardship if you cannot remain in — or return to — the United States.
The level of hardship required depends on the circumstances and can range from extreme to extraordinary and extremely unusual. Meeting these standards requires clear documentation, strong evidence, and a thoughtful explanation of both your family’s situation and the factors supporting forgiveness.
Melody Busey helps clients nationwide prepare these waiver applications with care, guiding you through each requirement and working to overcome the barriers preventing you from living with your family in the U.S. If you need help pursuing a hardship waiver, contact B&G Law Group, PLLC

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers
If you have been living in the United States on a J-1 visa—whether as a researcher, teacher, student, cultural exchange participant, au pair, government consultant, or through another exchange program—you may be subject to the two-year home residency requirement. This rule often requires you to return to your home country for two years before you can apply for a green card or certain other visas.
However, if you have U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members who rely on you and would face hardship if you returned home, you may be eligible to apply for a J-1 waiver. The standard for this waiver is considered “exceptional,” and meeting that threshold requires clear, compelling documentation of your family’s needs and the difficulties they would face if you were required to leave the country.
Melody Busey assists clients nationwide with evaluating eligibility for J-1 waivers and preparing strong, detailed applications designed to give you the best chance of success. If you believe your situation may qualify, reach out to B&G Law Group, PLLC today to discuss your case and begin the waiver process.
