United States Customs and
Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a notification that it is not
accepting waiver applications (I-601) for extreme hardship to United
States citizens on behalf of immigrants in the United States without
documentation or unlawfully at this time. USCIS stated that it intended
to publish a final regulation proposal in the next several months to
allow citizen spouses or parents to receive a provisional waiver of the
unlawful presence bars before leaving the United States. Once comments
are received and if the proposed rule is published in the Federal
Register, USCIS will likely implement the provisional waiver program.
Until that time, all applications for provisional waivers will be returned.
