The I-601 Hardships Of Children: Why Active Parenting Is Crucial

The hardships of U.S. born children (or lawful permanent children) are often the deciding factor in waiver cases.

This is true even when the children are non-qualifying relatives in an I-601A matter.

It depends, in part, how much a child is close to dependent upon the parent whom is to be removed from that child’s life.

This means evidence should be submitted that showcases bits and pieces of the child’s development.

Their development, after all, impliedly speaks volumes about their parents.
