Applying for a Green Card : §245(i) or an I-601 Extreme Hardship Waiver

If you’ve been told that you have to leave the US to continue your case, I presume it’s because you were brought to the country illegally (EWI) when you were a little kid and have no proof of a legal entry.
In that case, there are 2 possible options. First, you’d be eligible to remain in the US to pursue your case if you qualify under §245(i) of the US immigration law. That provision of law requires that you be the beneficiary (or the daughter of a beneficiary) of an I-130 petition, I-140 petition, or Labor Certification filed before April 30, 2001.
The second option would be to leave the country – making you subject to the 10-year unlawful presence bar – and apply for an I-601 extreme hardship waiver based on your daughter’s condition.
If you’d like to further discuss your case with me, please contact us to schedule a telephone consultation.
