91 On what grounds can I get a waiver?
1) AT the request of a U.S. government agency (NASA, NSA, CIA, ...)

the USIA to waive the HRR. Could be a very good avenue if you work
for that agency or do security-related work.
2) extreme hardship to U.S. citizen or Green Card holder spouse or

extraordinary. Mere desettlement or economic loss may not be sufficient.
3) political persecution; residents of European countries might

4) NORI/no-objection: the home government issues a statement
of no-objection; seems to be the common and successful approach
for Indian citizens.
