I-601

[Maxdarel 0]

Hi. I'm in process for I-601 waiver. My wife is US citizen and I came here illegally 14 years ago. We are married for 13 years. We have 1. kids. I don't have criminal record But The way that I enter united state was illegal because I enter with an passport that was suppose to work in a cruise for 1 year and I stay . At this time I got my I-601a approved also I also got the interview with the embassy and I currently stuck at country Colombia because they tell me that I make a fraud.

In the embassy they tell me that I need I-601 in order to get my permant resident I really scare because I don't know if they going to approved the I-601 and going to stay in Colombia for ever I just want to know how long take the whole process to be complete I got 3 month waiting.

Thanks

the process is all over the place, some are getting approve in 3.5 months, most people are waiting 6 months, my is getting to 4 months now, and I call yesterday I was told that I have 3 more months to wait, so it seems like is 6 months waiting game. all the best in the waiting.

I'm 4 months and 2 weeks waiting, I called last week and they told me 2 more months. So you never know, but it varies between 4-6 months

Plan on 6 mths wait if it comes B4 be happy

OP you need to speak to a waiver atty to help with

waiver packet/brief...The hardship has to be on

on your wife (not U) Lizz Cannon is a good waiver

atty your wife should call her. Your case is doable

you entered on a cruise ship visa to work on a ship

but did not and just stayed
