My wife is the one who is filling out the I-601 waiver for me. I was hoping anyone know whether i should also write a letter expressing the extreme hardship that my wife would face if i was not granted the waiver. Thanks |

Your wife is facing the hardship, so she should write a letter. But yes, a letter is a very good idea. Make it short, and if there is more than one reason for the hardship (financial, health, family etc), start with the most compelling in the letter.

Thanks Some consulates (london for example) absolutely require the applicant to write a letter in addition to the Qualifying relative letter. Athens, as far as I know, does not require such a thing. My husband did write a letter briefly explaining the reason behind his fraudulent entry, described our son's heart condition, and asked that they please allow him to return to the US so he can take care of his sick child and help me financially. |

Where have you seen this information regarding London requiring the applicant to write a letter as well? We are planning to have our waiver application ready at interview time as we believe we'll need one. Thanks for your help. -------------------- IR-1 Visa

Information recieved from www.immigrate2us.net All recent applicants(from that site) with waivers going through London were required to write a letter in addition to the Qualifying relative's hardship letter. When they were given directions from their home consulate for filing of a waiver, it was in the directions. The procedures vary slightly from country to country. |
