CASE: I-612 J-1 Hardship Waiver
APPLICANT: Kenyan
LOCATION: Missouri
Our client contacted us in March 2010 to inquire about applying for a J-1 hardship waiver. She intends to apply for adjustment of status afterwards. She came to the United States from Kenya in July 1999 on a J-1 visa. She was subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement.
Her husband left her while she was pregnant. He son was born in 2004. She raised him by herself. Her son has suffered from multiple medical issues, from asthma to allergies to severe skin problems.
Our client retained our firm and on April 21, 2010, we filed the I-612 J-1 Waiver application based on exceptional hardship. Our firm drafted an extensive 10-page brief with over 20 exhibits and submitted these with the application.
In May 3, 2011, after over 5 follow up letters, the J-1 waiver based on exceptional hardship was approved.
