Hello needing some fedback. When does a wavier get requested during the process? Such as over stays, criminal records or any thing that may need a wavier? I'm just trying to prepare for that cause if there is any request for one? I think it's generally in the interview correct?

Anyone's knowledge what be a blessing.

If you are eligible to file a waiver for your circumstances, it would be at the interview. Some people preempt this if they are expecting a waiver and bring a completed waiver plus evidence with them to the interview.

At the visa interview.

yes my self may need one. I'm the American filing for my wife. My attorney told me no worries but again I still feel it's important to be prepared. We all know how anxious we are to get our loved one's home. last thing I want is to go to the interview and find out we need a wavier.

So the interview then. Very good at least i know it's during the last stage to prepare for. this has to do with my criminal record from 11 years ago. I know very much a bad point to bring up. This is my past and 11 years ago. Thank you guys for your advise.
