It will cover analysis of waiver eligibility, as well as the process of preparing and filing a waiver application. Topics include:

  • Legal Standards and Burdens of Proof
  • Qualifying Relatives
  • Demonstrating Extreme Hardship
  • Showing Rehabilitation and Favorable Discretionary Factors
  • Building the Evidence to Meet Your Burden of Proof

  • Stateside Waiver Processing
  • Practical Tips from Experienced Practitioners
