Thanks for the cheering and support Munchkins, it's a long and nervewrecking wait for the I-601 waiver, I don't wish it on anyone - such torture.

I hope that you get an interview date real soon, and that you don't need an I-601 waiver. Keep us updated :thumbs:

""Good morning,

Hi New Orleans. Stop in anytime. There seems to be only two of us waiting now. Doesn't seem to be anyone wanting to join in with us to keep the thread going. Your more than welcome to join in with us anytime. Do you have any information on how long it takes in Canada? I think I've seen a few people who have filed waivers in Canada. Do those go through Vermont? Hope it doesn't take too long for you. I know no matter how long it is, it seems like forever.

Best wishes to you,

Vicky ""

I must say that I really dislike this newness of the operation of this place. I liked it better when I was able to qutoe more easily and HAD spell check. BUT anyways Vicky I haven't had much luck with my lawyer contacting DHS nor have I. I filed the wiaver here in Canada for our interview in March and we still haven't heard squat. It's now 7 months without a word. Calling has NOT been successful either. I can't believe I have had this much trouble for an over stay. I can only immigiane the bull we'd be going through if I committed a crime. So when my ban is for an overstay which technically wasn't an overstay, we're hoping the I-130 get finally approved. Ban is going to be lifted in 10 months and I'm taking bets- MONEY only, on the fact that the ban will be lifted before DHS and INS realize that and I get my woderful paperwork APPROVED. Unless they think I looked at them the wrong way and if that happenns.......

Dang New Orleans I thought I had read that Canada takes a pretty long time for waivers. Kind of puts us in our place for whining about 12 to 15 weeks. A few went slightly over that but still it's a lot better than waiting over 7 months. I do think there is one or two who post on here that are going through Canada and from what I remember they are having the same problems. Makes you wonder why it's so different between embassy's. You would think in this day and age, with technology things would be more standardized. Guess we will never figure out how things work. Guess we have to remember it is the government. Not that it should make a difference.

I wish you the best and I do hope you hear something before the ban is actually lifted. Don't mean to make light of your situation but I don't think I will take you up on that bet. :no: (just trying to make you smile)

Oh and we do have spell check here. Just over from the font and size. (abc and check) I usually forget to use it. :P You will get the hang of it.

Have a good evening,

Vicky

Hi Munchkins,

Thanks for the well wishes. I know where you are coming from. We are kind of in the same situation as you two. Ours was over 24 years ago and was when he was young and stupid. It stinks having to go through this but at least it was expected. I think I would have had heart failure if he had went to the interview and they denied him and I knew nothing at all about the waiver process. I spent all last summer reading and researching and we waited to file in the late fall. Tried to figure out how long everything was going to take. I figured October so I'm doing ok even though it's bugging me now waiting knowing we are getting close to hearing something. It actually scares the ####### out of me now. Knowing that soon we will learn our fate. Just have to keep your chin up and have a positive attitude. Gets hard sometime but you have good days where you are very hopeful then once in a while you have those nasty days where your mind starts to think ........what if.

geez i'm blabbing again..................

Keep your positive attitude and good luck on your interview. I hope that you don't need to go through this. But if you do you WILL be fine. :yes:

Best wishes,

Vicky

I pop in daily to see how you guys are doing......................I hope you guys get your good news soon!!!!

:star:

Thanks Irish for alll your cheering :luv:

I can see that you are also going through London, how far have you come in the process?? I hope that you are only waiting for your interview and not having to go through the I-601 waiver process. :)

We went through Dublin, but luckily we did not need a waiver(it seems drunk & disorderly was not a big deal to them afterall-thank God). So I am just here waiting for my man to get here. He should be here in a month. I hope you get good news VERY soon-I can only imagine how you all feel (F)

Hey, Beetee! You're finally complete. I hope they don't make you wait too long! What torture, piled on top of the torture of waiting for so flipping long! I'm thinking of you today and hoping it's good news.

Vicky, now we're just waiting on you to hear some good news How many weeks has it been for you guys? I can't remember, but I know you've got it down to exactly how many weeks and days you've been waiting! Just can't help it, huh?

Well, all, have a good day. Trying to get my work done so I can get out of town. Why do they always load you down with work right before you leave?! I'll be so glad to step on that plane. :yes:

Hello cmltdg

Hey how was your trip? You never said or did I get that wrong and you haven't been yet? :lol: I can't keep anything straight anymore. I can't remember my name most days. Think that's just old age though. :D

Well today is our 13th week. We filed the waiver on May 5th but it took them 4 weeks to put us on the list. I think we were put on there June 1st. That's where i'm counting from anyway. I think we at least have a couple more weeks to go. I've been studying that stupid waiver list and from what I can tell we should be around the 4th one in line now. They keep moving us around but I printed out the last 8 or 9 updates. Yes I know I'm so sad. :lol: We will get there soon enough. Just keep puttering a little at a time. Beetee and I pm each other a few times a day. Do our regular ranting and whining. But we are doing fine. Just wish she could get someone to tell her something so she doesn't have to wait any longer. So cruel.

Thanks for keeping an eye on us. :thumbs:
