USCIS released draft guidance on extreme hardship, to be included in the USCIS Policy Manual, which contains guidance on general considerations, interpretations, and adjudication steps; qualifying relatives; extreme hardship factors; extreme hardship determinations; and discretion. In particular, the draft guidance addresses which waivers require a showing of extreme hardship, how an applicant can establish extreme hardship to a qualifying relative, and which special circumstances often weigh heavily in favor of an extreme hardship finding, among other considerations. These are the hardship standard we need to use to qualify you for a Provisional Waiver or I-601 Waiver.
