My husband's I-601 Waiver was APPROVED!!.........but now what?

[susankay 2]

Hi everyone!!

So my husband is here illegally from Mexico. Long story short, we filed the I-601 waiver on 01/22/2014, and just received the approval notice on 06/20/2014. I am curious as to what our next step is.

From my understanding, we have to wait until the consulate is notified by the processing center, and they will contact us with his appointment in Mexico. Does anyone know if that is the case or not? I just fear sitting around waiting for months, only to find out we were supposed to call and make an appointment or something of that nature. I am signed up for alerts when there are any changes in the case through USCIS, and normally it tells me in the case status what the next steps are, but I didn’t receive anything, and when I check their website with the receipt number, it says it’s still in “Acceptance” status, so no help there.

Thanks in advance for any input you can give!!!

The Embassy sends a waybill through DHL....sign up for the 601 waiver journey on Facebook or look at the immigrate2us forum and those people know more details...you can email the embassy in Mexico also and ask them.

no , all i did in mexico was to get my medical exam , then my biometrics in another office and just those two steps before your interview in the consulate at the time of the interview they willl let you know if your visa has been approved and they will give you instructions about how and where to receive your passport they will send it by mail. i hipe that helps
