What Form I-601A is for
Used by certain immediate relatives to request a provisional waiver of unlawful presence before consular processing.
Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver (I-601A) is generally filed by people seeking humanitarian protection, waivers, or relief. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-601A filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for I-601A vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
