The i601A Waiver Application Mistake You Must Avoid
It was an individual who trusted this attorney who made a grave mistake – they filed the case without an underlying Green Card application. Well what kind of case? An i 601 Waiver case. So any I-601 Waiver [as in this case – it was for an I-212 case], needs to have an underlying application that is either based off of a form I-485 or an immigrant visa.
Now that applies as well to an I-601A case as well you must have an immigrant visa pending for an I-601A. This is basic and this attorney missed it and it was just so sad to see how this person wasted so much time in their life, so much money, only to, at the end of the day, find out that this Green Card application should have been plowed.
So i want to make sure that you stay informed, you know it’s going on watch my other videos. This is how on this individual newsom that something was a miss that the attorney would only submitted very minimal supporting documentation, four to six sentences supporting the whole application, where in our situation when we represent clients we prepared a legal brief supporting all of the arguments and extensive documentation demonstrating the Hardship.
So you want to make sure that when you submit your application, especially in thePresident Trumpera, that one you have a Green Card application that’s supporting the whole I-601 or I-601A.
Oh and also that you are putting your best foot forward because I don’t want you to waste years of your life and then many times, in many situations, thousands of dollars when you can get a break the first time.
So I invite you to contact our office at (916) 613-3553 or email us at info@ranchodlaw.com to make sure that you are informed. Thank you have an awesome day.

Historia de éxito sobre la Visa J-1: para un nacional Egipcio, Aprobación del Perdón I-612
- Fecha de presentación: 12/19/2018
- Fecha de aprobación: 11/06/2019
Aviso de Aprobación del Perdón de Visa J-1: Solicitud I-612 para ceder los requisitos de residencia en el extranjero
La temporada de vacaciones es un tiempo para la familia y la unión. En nuestra línea de trabajo, somos afortunados. De hecho, podemos ayudar a muchas familias a permanecer juntas en los Estados Unidos. En esta ocasion, tuvimos el placer de trabajar con un ciudadano Egipcio que llego a los Estados Unidos con una visa J-1. La ocupacion del cliente es realizar investigaciones de vanguardia sobre problemas ambientales relacionados con la contaminación del agua y el efecto de la vida acuática. Nuesto cliente estaba sujeto al requisito de residencia de dos años, lo que habría significado que sus dos hijas nacidas en los Estados Unidos hubieran tenido que ir a Egipto con él. Esto, si no se aprobaba el perdon para cederel requisito. Su hija menor ha sufrido una serie de problemas de salud desde su nacimiento. Su traslado a Egipto, donde los estándares médicos están muy por debajo a el de los de Estados Unidos, podría tener consecuencias desastrosas a largo plazo. Su hija sufría dificultades para respirar al nacer. Esta condición podría conducir a varios problemas de salud en el futuro, incluida la encefalopatía hipóxico-isquémica.
Demostrar las Dificultades Extremas a USCIS
The Ranchod Law Group pudo superar con éxito la gran carga para demostrar que las hijas de los clientes sufrirían dificultades extremas. Si el perdon fuera negado, se les exigiría vivir en Egipto durante dos años.
Pudimos demostrarle a USCIS que incluso dos años en Egipto afectarían negativamente a las dos hijas del cliente. Gracias a nuestra exhaustiva investigación en el país, a la recolección intensiva de documentos y a nuestro enfoque sencillo. Cubrimos argumentos que abarcan desde:
- normas médicas en Egipto;
- seguridad de los niños;
- condiciones económicas en el país y cómo afectarían la calidad de vida de las dos niñas.
Luego de recibir una desafiante Solicitud de Evidencia (RFE), pudimos asegurar una aprobación para la solicitud del perdon de nuestro cliente en menos de un año. Nuestros clientes descansarán un poco más esta temporada de vacaciones, sabiendo que su familia puede permanecer en los Estados Unidos y gozar de una mejor calidad de vida.

- Date of submission: 12/19/2018
- Date of approval: 11/06/2019
J-1 Visa Waiver Approval Notice: I-612 Application to wave foreign residence requirements
Proving Extreme Hardship to the USCIS
The Ranchod Law Group was able to successfully overcome the high burden to show that client’s daughters would suffer extreme hardship. If the waiver were denied, they would be required to live in Egypt for two years.
We were able to demonstrate to USCIS that even two years spent in Egypt would adversely affect client’s two daughters. Thanks to our in-depth country research, intensive document collection, and our no-stone-unturned approach. We covered arguments spanning from:
- medical standards in Egypt;
- safety of children;
- economic conditions in the country and how they would affect the two girls’ quality of life.
After receiving a challenging Request For Evidence (RFE), we were able to secure an approval for our client’s waiver application in less than one year. Our clients will rest a bit easier this holiday season, knowing that their family can remain in the United States and maintain their quality of life.

How and Why to Educate the Public About Important Immigration Law Changes
The complexity of the immigration process can be daunting and confusing. There are a myriad of different options for those who are dreaming of making a new life in America. That complexity is only getting more intense in the current political climate, as laws continue to change and develop. Education about the process is a very important part of successfully moving to the United States.

While Kaushik has a business to run, he still believes that what you put into the world is what you get back, and the important thing is providing useful information to those who need it.
In this episode, Kaushik Ranchod welcomes John Corcoran onto the podcast. The tables are turned, and John will talk to Kaushik about how and why he wants to educate the public about the immigration process.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
