my mother was with me couple of years ago, she overstayed and i'm getting to prepare to file i-130 form for my mother.

do i need to get waver form in advance?

do you think i should file waver form? in order to save time and to get response, i heard that its going to take few months, is there a way i can do that in advance?

please guide me

appreciate any help.

thanks.

From what I've been reading (and I have a similar situation), you need to have the 601 waier/fee ready in hand at the interview, that way, when the officer finds her inadmisible you have it ready and file it there same day. That's all I've learned so far. But it doesn't seem you'd semd it with the I-130 petition. Good luck!

You must be denied to file the waiver but absolutely have everything ready to file at the interview. This will save A LOT of time.
