expedited interview 601. what now?

[Luvnevrymin 1]

Hubby had interview thurs & we knew what to expect. We had the waiver pkt ready. The consulate agreed to expedite his waiver once we got a waiver date set & I wrote a letter explaining why I need this expedited. They got him right in Mon morn. They asked him a couple of the same questions..."When did you enter?" And "when did you leave?" Then told him the adjuticating officer would review his packet and he would get the decision on if the waiver approved or denied via dhl in 2-4 days.the officer who accepted the pkt didn't look at it. He paid the fee for waiver, paid the dhl fee and now we just wait? Why did they not give him a real interview or review his pkt in front of him or give him a yes or no? If the answer ends up yes, then will his visa be in that dhl pkt? We are on pins & needles.

Typically, from what I've read, packets for the I-601 can be very lengthy. In order to give the packet the attention it deserves, I doubt they would review it in front of you. I think they take it and review it and call you if they have any questions or concerns.

when y'all left, what did they say? Did they tell you to wait? Did they keep his passport?

Check the Mexico section of www.immigrate2us.net they have a TON of these daily and will have the information you want. If they kept the passport, the visa could be with your approval letter, HOWEVER, the file could be "referred" which means that it will be sent away if not "clearly approveable" and will take closer to a year to process.

Good luck, here's hoping for an approval!

Good news! Yes they did keep his passport, and he was approved!!! We were so brought down by the negativity of the whole process. We waited on pins & needles two full days. All is well now. Thank you all!!
