filing waiver after interview

[Michele1003 12]

My fiancé will be attending his interview next week on Wednesday. We will be needing to file a waiver. When they tell him that he needs to file a waiver will he be filing it right then if he has it, or do we have to wait? I'm just curious as to how this process works. We would like to file it right away because we will be prepared for it. And if we can file it right away should I bring a money order of the $585?? if anyone could please give me some information it would be greatly appreciated. I like to be overly prepared and kind of have an idea of what is coming.

you dont file the waiver at the interview, you send it to the appropriate lockbox here (the address is on the 601 form). you go to the interview, they will give him a blue sheet that says if he is approved/denied and then if and which waivers he is eligible to file and if it can be filed now or if he has a i.e. 5 year ban or something similar. when you send in your waiver package send in the blue sheet they give him at the interview also.

Waivers are not DIY endeavors, best U consult with an atty, at interview the CO will deny visa

and give U 221G stating the waiver U need to file , a waiver package will need hardship letters,

copies of all criminal & immigration history if there's any...for just a past overstay that's an easier

waiver to tackle, but still need the proper legal procedure to file to the lockbox in Phoenix, who

forwards it to Nebraska it then currently takes 6-9 mths for a decision to be sent to your embassy

& U who will have U turn call U back for PP so visa to can issued, that can take a few days up to 10 wks.

This is a discretionary procedure...no guarantees, that's why it should be professionally done, its

not merely filling out the form, but having attys brief or a strong hardship letter, proofs etc is the key.
