Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

8/2008 backlogg

My husband has been backlogg since 8/2008, I had a lawyer who did my I-601 and hardship letter, My hardship letter comparing it to some of others that have been aproved on the spot is very weak.

If I were to submit a new hardship letter with better evidence of how much hardship I'm going through due to my illness and the separation of my spouse could it be possible for immigration services to look at it and make a decission? or I can not send other harshipletter?

Yes, you can supplement the backlogged I-601 with new and better information since it is still a pending application! There is no need to file a new I-601. I believe it is taking 13 to 15 months for backlogged cases to be decided.

Yes, time is helpful to the resubmission or supplementation of already filed I-601 hardship waivers. I understand that there are inconsistencies in adjudications. That's why it's really important to file a case only when it's ripe and do the very best job possible to make your case stand out.
