called them last moth. they sent a letter saying to give them 60 days because they process in the order they receive the cases. but i really don't believe that

No it's not because I have seen May and June approvals. I've heard that criminal waivers take longer than waivers for overstays, etched because they're more complex. I don't see how.

I hope you hear something soon! 9-10 months is a long time to wait. I'll keep you in my prayers.

My case has been approved today. Received date was June 19th, on November 9th I received RFE and my response was received on November 30th. It has been long and exhausting wait but most of a credit goes to our lawyer who put together convincing package.

We are working on putting our packet together for our waiver now. It's for criminal history and I'm rather flustered and worried about putting the packet together properly. I am slightly overwhelmed at all of it and wondering if anyone has some suggestions. We are fairly certain the grounds of inadmissibility is about his conviction from 1999-2000. They didn't specify what it was for as the other two things on his record are minor traffic violations. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out specifically what the grounds of inadmissibility are for or just what they sent us?

Okay, going to continue to breath again and dig a little deeper into the archives to see what I can find. :bonk:

This journey isn't easy...we went over many hurdles along the way... We are together now, 4 years going strong... It's never impossible, it is a matter of having the strength and love to conquer all things along the way!

Do you have a lawyer? Our brief was approximately 10 pages long with 27 exhibits.

Here's a link that explains this and the waiver. It's strange that the CO didn't say what the inadmissibility was for. Did they give you the refusal form with the boxes marked?

I've seen it mentioned in many comments on posts. I'm clueless as to why. To me all that overstay business is extremely confusing.

Seems like it would take alot more work to review and approve that than, for example, our case that is one simple $10 fine for a charge over 10 years ago...no jail time...no court hearing...taken to the police station paid ten bucks and was released. No documentation other than a sentence on his police certificate.

Now a complicated conviction, sentence, and jail time...maybe. But basically a ticket? Why, I don't know.
