waiver approved :)

[brendavera 2]

WE SUBMITTED MY HUSBANDS WAIVER ON NOVEMBER 29, 2012 AND IT IS FINALLY APPROVED. IT WAS APPROVED FRIDAY JANUARY 11, 2012, I CALLED TODAY AND THE LADY TOLD ME THAT OUR WAIVER WAS APPROVED AND THAT MY HUSBAND HAD A PACKET READY TO BE PICKED UP AT THE DHL LOCATION. HE WENT TO PICK IT THIS MORNING AND THE INSTRUCTION LETTER TELLS HIM TO SEND IN HIS PASSPORT ALONG WITH THAT LETTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IM SO HAPPY, WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY WE ARE, I WAS LITERALLY CRYING WHEN I FOUND OUT. GOD IS GREAT :dance: :dance: :dance:

BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION, AFTER HE SENDS THE PASSPORT IN WHAT WILL BE NEXT? HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO GET HIS VISA IN HAND SO HE CAN FINALLY COME HOME?

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSES GOD BLESS YOU ALL

First of all Congratulations!!!! It is such a wonderful feeling when you hear those final words, "waiver approved" I cried, jumped around like an idiot, and thanked God when I heard it with my husband.

Your husband is sending in his Passport so that they can print his Visa into it, our case was a little different because my husband had to return to CDJ for a 2nd Medical (approval updated in the system 1 wk after the 6 month expiration) so he delivered his directly. From the time he left it at the consulate to when they delivered it to DF it took about a week for him to get the passport with visa in hand (this included a weekend). You will need to factor in delivery time from where your husband lives to CDJ, processing time, and if i'm not mistaken they return it to him express overnight or next day. Delivery is also tricky check the DHL site often and have him call as well, in our case they waited to update the system 5mins before the office closed and had to wait till the next morning to pick it up (good memories, lol) He will also get in the box a sealed black plastic envelope with DO NOT OPEN written across it. This needs to be carried with him (not packed in checked luggage) on his flight home and given to the Customs Agent at his POE (according to my husband, its just his waiver packet)

I recommend you start searching for return flights home but DO NOT buy until he has his VISA in hand, you don't want to have to pay to change the dates of the flight. I brought my honey home within a week. Good Luck and Congratulations again!

Is there anyway you could explain your hardship that the waiver was approved under?

Congratulations!!!

Just like the previous member asked, can you explain the hardship? Most likely my husband will be needing one and would like to know how yours was done.

Thank you.

well im not sure what you mean, but in my husbands waiver packet and letter i had evidence that am a college student,working part time with a minimum wage. proof of all my bills. that was pretty much it I honestly thought that i was going to get a RFE because I didnt think it would be enough for his waiver to approved so quickly. thank GOD it has been approved. good luck to you

Congratulationssss !

hi , when did you submit your I-601 ? how long was the wait ?

[Laherida 0]

Well, lol a lot in my waiver. We have been married over 8 years, have three children. My parents are disabled and we care for them, i work ft as a teacher. I already pay for his health/life insurance, our childrens prescriptions are really expensive...the mayor and other church members wrote letters of support and signed petitions for his return. The thing about hardships are you need to prove hardships because the more they see of the same thing, the more likely that theu say no. I even heard that autism in a child is no longer immigration hardship because it was over used. We were some of the last to apply in juarez, im not sure about the new system though. Blessings to everyone. Btw if anyone knows how long itll be before dhl has his packet plz let me know. Thanks!!

Congratulationssss !
