OK, so I had my interview, and was denied. I had to submit an I 601 Waiver which was approved yesterday. I was told today by the Consulate that the I 601 approval was received. The consulate say they are unable to give me a specific date for the issue of my visa - which I understand. Does anyone know how long it will take them to review and process the visa?
