[adsum 0]

Hello everyone, I have been reading the forum for a quiet sometime and finally decided to post today, first off my story:

I am a U.S citizen living in the U.S since 1998 along with my family, Originally my family and I are from Pakistan, I have practically grew up in the states. In 2010 I fell in love with my current wife who happens to be from India. She also grew up here in the states having immigrated from India. In 2012 her family left the U.S.A , her dad told their family they have to leave or they will get deported, so they leave back to India (huge mistake I know), we marry over skype, I apply for her visa we get the interview last year in October and after the interview they told my wife she needs to file an I-601 waiver, turns out the father had been lying and they had overstayed illegally in the USA meanwhile he never told his family any of this. We applied for the I-601 and we got a receipt notice that it had been received on February 19 2016, I am just wondering if anyone here also has a I-601 from around that time frame? I havent Seen her in 4 years and we have been married for 2 years ....I just want this to end

Yes its completely legal, the problem is that I am from Pakistan she is from india, even though I am a US citizen Pakistani's dont get a Visa to India that easily. Either ways this was the fastest way we could get married and apply for her visa

Yea, thats all I have been hearing for the past 4 years. the process is so long and ridiculous for someone who has done absolutely nothing wrong,

So the marriage hasn't been consummated? As far as I know, marriages where the parties were not present in the same room are not eligible for immigration benefits until they have been consummated.

The marriage and all of that is beside's the point, there is no problem with that at all. We have our marriage certificate. the process was going smooth up until her interview in India.

Feb 25 received date here, still awaiting our response. Seems they've been processing submissions near the Feb 4 timeframe, and very slowly these past few weeks. With the holiday season coming up soon here, I'm wondering if it's going to be a while.

Hello

I'm about to mail my husband's I-130. I have a question hopefully I can get an advice, my husband had a throwback on his first attempt in 1999. He's been in the USA since then. We would file a 601A "provisional waver" once we get the I130 approval.

I'm in doubt if I should disclose the throwback on a statement with the I-130 or if I should wait to disclose this info. on the 601-A. What do you guys think I should do?

I know this is late, but our I-601 was submitted 3/29/2016 and we just rec'd notice that is was approved on 2/21/2017.  So 11 months is how long it took for it to be processed.  

My fiancee's home country is Peru and I am a US Citizen.
