Dear [Immigration Officer’s Name],

I am writing to respectfully request a waiver under [specify the waiver type, e.g., I-601A] due to the extreme hardship that my spouse and I would face if my immigration application is denied, and I am required to leave the United States.

My name is [Your Name], and I am married to [Spouse’s Name], a U.S. citizen. We have been married for [number] years, and our relationship is built on love, trust, and mutual support. My removal from the United States would cause significant and irreparable harm to our family in the following ways:

Financial Hardship: I am the primary breadwinner for our family. My income supports not only our daily living expenses but also the medical treatments for my spouse’s [medical condition]. Without my financial support, my spouse would struggle to afford basic necessities and continue essential medical treatments. Additionally, my spouse’s medical condition makes it difficult for them to work full-time, further exacerbating our financial situation.

Medical Hardship: My spouse suffers from [medical condition], which requires continuous medical care and regular visits to specialists. My presence in the United States is crucial for providing the emotional and physical support needed during these treatments. If I were to be deported, my spouse would not only lose their primary caregiver but also face significant challenges in managing their health condition alone. The medical facilities and treatments required for my spouse’s condition are not readily available in my home country, which would further endanger their health and well-being.

Emotional and Psychological Hardship: Our separation would cause immense emotional and psychological distress to both of us. My spouse relies on me for emotional support, especially during difficult times. The anxiety and depression resulting from our forced separation would have a detrimental impact on my spouse’s mental health, making it even harder for them to cope with their medical condition and daily responsibilities.

Community and Social Hardship: We are deeply integrated into our community. We have built strong relationships with friends, neighbors, and community members who provide a vital support network. My spouse is actively involved in [community activities, volunteer work, etc.], which would be disrupted if I were to leave the country. The loss of this support network would further isolate my spouse, increasing their emotional and psychological burden.

In conclusion, my removal from the United States would cause extreme hardship to my spouse in multiple aspects of life, including financial stability, health, emotional well-being, and social integration. I kindly request that you consider these factors and grant the waiver to allow me to remain in the United States with my family.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
