good afternoon my name is Alena Shautsova, I'm an immigration attorney from
[3]
brooklyn new york in today's legally speaking seminar I'd
[6]
like to tell you about what helps to win hardship waivers hardship waivers can be
[15]
used in immigration for various purposes in connection with various immigration
[20]
problems one of them for example is unlawful presence it can be also an
[27]
inadmissibility related to a criminal offense or maybe something else
[30]
depending on what exactly you need to waive are also very similar approach
[37]
would be used for cancellation of removal cases either for local permanent
[41]
residents or non permanent residents social spent in the United States 10
[47]
years so what what really helps to win the case of course you're going to
[54]
before submitting the way we are going to go through instructions and are you
[59]
going to read what is required to attach to with the application but in my
[67]
experience here are the three things that help the most well first of all is
[72]
will be a detailed story detailed letters of the applicant and the person
[80]
the hardship to whom the applicant is trying to explain it's very very
[85]
important and some people refer to it as hardship letters but it's really more
[91]
like a life story called a life story well you wear personal basically tells
[97]
everything the journey from their home country to the United States and what
[104]
happened to them here and what hardships they faced and their relatives faced and
[109]
how it all unfolded it's very important another important piece of evidence are
[115]
pictures it's just very helpful because as you can imagine in absolute majority
[124]
of cases you will not be able to see that the officer who is making this
[130]
in your case and we all have better visual perception then when when we need
[139]
to read a text so when you attach a picture of somebody who is on oxygen
[143]
right somebody in a wheelchair or somebody who's sick or you attach
[148]
picture with your children and an officer can see real people real faces
[154]
real problems it helps a lot very very important to attach good pitches another
[159]
important piece of evidence it's evidence of financial hardship many
[164]
people say in their instructions to the waivers it says that financial hardship
[170]
is not that important but in my experience it's actually very important
[173]
if you have a huge credit card debt that you will not be able to pay if you are
[178]
removed back to your home country that's important if your qualifying relative
[183]
has a mortgage that you helped paying and without that help the mortgage will
[190]
not be paid that's we are very important in every single case where we submit a
[195]
detailed financial hardship evidence every single case was approved so it's
[200]
very very important to present other evidence and finally that you probably
[207]
already know but nevertheless it's very important medical records medical
[211]
records are very important medical records from the doctors who treated
[219]
qualifying relatives that ideally the medical record who would be also
[227]
accompanied by the doctor's report like a letter with dr. specifies you know
[232]
various aspects of the person's conditions condition and how that
[236]
condition affects the person's everyday life that's very important to attach
[241]
that and with a good presentation um majority of the waivers will be granted
[248]
the waivers will not be granted usually if you don't statutory qualify for it
[254]
but you really should know about that before you propose a waiver
[257]
not to make that mistake and waste all this time and money and the waivers will
[262]
not be granted it was evidence if the evidence consists of like ten
[266]
pages then it's it's really not not even worth it it's not worth it to apply for
[273]
the waiver because that's not going to be granted officers expect you to
[277]
document your life and evidence in support of the application very well and
[284]
as always you can read more about the waivers and how you can help yourself
