With over 23 years of immigration law experience and a 97% success rate, our immigration team has the knowledge and strategies to guide you through this complex process.
What is a J-1 Waiver?
Many J-1 visa holders are required to return to their home country for two years before applying for permanent residency, a work visa, or certain other U.S. immigration benefits. This requirement often creates significant challenges, especially if:
- You are married to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- You have U.S. citizen children
- You face persecution or hardship in your home country
- Your employer or government agency in the U.S. needs you to remain here
A J-1 waiver eliminates this obligation, allowing you to stay in the U.S. and continue building your future.
Types of J-1 Waivers
At Ranchod Law Group, we help clients nationwide and globally with all J-1 waiver categories, including:
- Hardship Waivers (I-612) – If leaving the U.S. would cause exceptional hardship to your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or children.
- Persecution Waivers – If you fear persecution based on race, religion, or political opinion in your home country.
- No Objection Statement Waivers – When your home government issues a statement that it has “no objection” to you remaining in the U.S.
- Interested Government Agency (IGA) Waivers – When a U.S. federal agency requests that you remain in the U.S. for work in the national interest.
- Conrad 30 Waivers for Physicians – For doctors working in underserved areas of the U.S.
