Hi my name is erika Lara my husband has been in mx for 10 yrs now so I made an appointment for an interview and he had to file a I-212 so my lawyer filed out and send it to the local office in Denver Colorado where his deportation was held we send it in 2-27-15 and still haven't got any news Iam just worry tht they just hv my case set on the side. So I was wondering if anyone knows how could I find out how's my case going. My lawyer said tht there's no way to know tht I just hv to wait but iam going crazy not knowing whts going on so pleaseeee if anyone knows any kind info or the status on a I-212. Or any way tht I could Find out how my case is going please please let me know thx a lot and blessings

You can look up the status of your waiver case on uscis.gov We are still waiting for my husband's dual I-601/I-212 waivers to be approved and we filed in June. I would reach out to your congressman to look into your case as it's past normal processing time.

often, a long long time...such requests are placed on the bottom of the 'inbox' of the director of a given port city (airports as well as sea ports)

Yes your atty did the right thing....Stand alone 212 can be a few weeks to a year,

easier adjudication and done at local deportation jurisdictions, This is not the same

as needed with 601/212 in Nebraska

OMG... I think I´m at the same situation...

I filled that 2 times at the Queens office and they sent me back, saying that it was supposed to be filled by my embassy, but they didn´t even saw that I´m not requesting a tourist visa, but an allowance to be a permanent resident...

And now... Long Island Office got that, but not even a receipt back... it´s been 2 weeks and no notice of receipt or documents back... This is so weird...

Does anyone know if there´s a way to know at least of they will receive that and issue a receipt???

I´m more than worried...

Oh, really???

Where did you filled that?

Did you got a hard time for them to accept the waiver?

I feel not so bad when I see people at the same boat here...

Did you filled an I-30 too?

I searious understand you're worries Iam the same it's been almost 9 mths of me waiting and I hvnt received nothing the only thing tht my attorney received was tht they got my I-212 and tht it's being process but after tht nothing and I also worry cause there's no way for you to search his case on line cause the receipt number my attorney has it can't b search cause it's not being process in the embassy but at a local office so all we hv to do is wait. my attorney says tht right now they are working on I-485 and tht thts almost the same as a i-212 and tht it should b soon tht we will hear something Iam just praying tht we don't gt denied cause I searious don't know how much longer I could wait ? he's been in mx for 10 yrs and it sucks when ur children asks when is my dad coming bk cause they don't understand immigration rules all they want is they're famaly united and how do u explain tht plus Iam disable with a brain tumor so I need his help I gt really horrible head pains and i need him to b here to help me out with my kids it's hard being mother/:father at the same time specially when u hv an illness to deal with to.. I pray he comes bk really soon and I wish u all the best luck tht god blessed ur cases and tht u guys get ur cases approved it's sad what famalies hv to go thrue so blessings to all of u and wish u the best luck ?

Lara you are on the right track with your atty...some regions don't get many 212 stand alone & drag their feet

others try & get it over with, ask your atty if he can send a follow up letter or get your congress-person

involved due to your medical prob. Seem with your medical it will be favorable.

Other posters who hijack the thread should start their own to not confuse the issue, cases may seem the same,

but they are not

Certainly I 212 processing times seem all over the place and there is no way of knowing.

Not sure there is anyway to expedite, never seen somebody do it.
