What was the reason for denial?
What country and what consulate?
These details make all the difference so maybe you could start by filing in your timeline information.
When a visa is denied due to an ineligiblity and the applicant can overcome the ineligiblity with a 601 waiver, a letter from the qualifying US citizen proving extreme hardship with evidence is required (plus filing and fingerprint fees). Adjudication usually takes a fairly long time but depends on the country.
You also need to be 100% sure you have a very good understanding of the requirements for the hardship letter -- you need to prove extreme hardship and provide serious and detailed evidence.
Start by reading www.immigrate2us.net in the 601 forum or family based immigration dot com (all one word) in the waiver forum.
