That policy. I believe. continues in effect today. The second exception permits a waiver if the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization determines that departure from the United States would impose "exceptional hardship" upon the aliens spouse or child. This exceptional hardship provision is also very restrictively construed. Probably all Senators have. at one time or another. become familiar with a case where an alien has applied for a waiver of the 2year foreign residence requirement. on the basis of exceptional hardship. It is clear that the Immigration and Naturalization Service will not permit such waiver on the bare fact of separation of a man from his family. nor on the fact that the family otherwise must go to the foreign land with the alien. where customs and language may be unknown to that family. Even health problems. which would better be treated if the individual were to remain in the United States. may not be considered exceptional hardship meriting waiver of the foreign residence requirement. My amendment.
