Immigration waiver law limits the evaluation of hardship to the suffering of qualifying relatives.

For I-601A cases, there are, at most, three persons who count as qualifying relatives: an immigrant’s spouse, mother, or father.  They must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Yet, non-qualifying relatives are often the key to winning I-601 or I-601A waivers.
