Have a question for any Fellow Canadians?

Our waiver got to Montreal on Aug 23rd, how long of a wiat can I expect? Also, when should I call USCIS about a case # and about how long is Vermont taking to approve the I-601?

I know that each case is different, but some sort of time frame would be helpful.

I was reading in another thread that some are going through their I-601 while they are able to be with their spouse, how can this be. I thought that anyone having to go through the I-601 that they have to wait til it's approved. Or am I missing something about this part?

Thanks again to anyone that responds to this.

Not sure on Vermont now, I thought last posts I read were somewhere between 4-6 months to adjudicate and a couple months to get the VISA if the I601 is approved. The folks waiting with spouses in states are rare birds who were already here and tried to adjust status and needed I601. If you are outside the states there is no possibility you can wait inside the states, although your US Citizen spouse can wait with you in Canada.

What is the reason for the I601 and did you use an attorney to prepare the waiver packet?

Good luck

Thank you for your reply, I know that I can't enter the US during this process. But was just wondering why some were able to to go through it while going through the process.

The reasons that I have to go through the I-601 is that I have a couple of convictions. Yes we did go through a Lawyer.

We did receive our Receipt# the first part of October, and that they received it on Sept 6th and the Notice Date was Sept 19th.

If you haven't heard anything from Vermont, you should call USCIS and talk to a Teir 2 Supervisor to get your receipt#

Let me know when you get your decision as I will do the same for you, that way it will give both of us some kind of timeline as to how long they are taking.
