What Is the Application Form Waiver (Form I-601)?
Form I-601, officially titled Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, is used by individuals who are otherwise barred from entering or remaining in the United States. Common grounds include certain criminal convictions, immigration violations, or health‑related issues. The waiver asks for personal details, the reason for the waiver request, supporting evidence, and a detailed statement explaining why the applicant deserves a discretionary waiver.

- Misspelling names or providing inconsistent information – double‑check against your passport and prior filings.
