Inadmissibility Waivers
Bringing hope to the hopeless through the U.S. legal system
Nationwide Inadmissibility Waivers Attorney
What Is An Inadmissibility Waiver?
If an immigration officer has informed you that you are inadmissible to the United States, it does not necessarily mean your case is over. You may still be eligible to apply for an inadmissibility waiver, often called a hardship waiver.
Maitreyee Mopalwar works closely with clients and their families to identify and document the hardships that a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would face if you were not allowed to remain or return to the United States. These hardships may include emotional, psychological, physical, or financial challenges that would make separation or relocation especially difficult.
Through careful preparation and attention to detail, Maitreyee helps clients present a strong case for consideration under U.S. immigration law. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC today to discuss your situation and explore whether a hardship waiver may be available in your case.

I-601 and 1-601A Hardship Waivers
Because these cases involve violations of U.S. immigration law, the process can be complex and emotionally challenging. Applicants must not only show that their U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member would face significant hardship, but also demonstrate why the government should grant forgiveness for the conduct that caused inadmissibility.
The required level of hardship can vary depending on the circumstances — ranging from “extreme hardship” to “extraordinary and extremely unusual hardship.”
Maitreyee Mopalwar guides clients through each step of this process with care and attention, helping them prepare the necessary evidence and present a compelling case for relief. Based in New Jersey and serving clients nationwide, she is committed to helping individuals and families overcome barriers to admissibility. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC

J-1 Inadmissibility Waivers
If you are in the United States on a J-1 visa—whether as a researcher, teacher, student, cultural exchange participant, au pair, or government consultant—you may be required to return to your home country for two years before becoming eligible for a green card.
However, if you have close family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and who would experience significant hardship if you were required to leave, you may be able to apply for a J-1 waiver of the two-year home residency requirement.
Although the legal standard for this waiver—known as “exceptional hardship”—can be challenging to meet, Maitreyee Mopalwar helps clients carefully evaluate their eligibility and build strong, well-documented applications that demonstrate the impact on their families.
Based in New Jersey and serving clients nationwide, Maitreyee provides personalized legal guidance to help individuals and families navigate the J-1 waiver process with confidence. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC today to discuss your situation and explore your options for remaining in the United States.
