I-601 waivers ask to file in ciudad juarez by interview agent.

[Beliza23 1]

I have a question I am a us national citizen I petition my mother with an i130 it was approved send all the required documents for an interview in ciudad juarez Mexico. My mother had to travel to juarez to attend interview did medical exams and biometrics. During the interview she was given a blue paper stating to apply for i-601 waiver what happens now after I send the waiver. She was given the waiver to apply due to her stay illegal in the US for over 26 years. What change are she will get approved

You should get an immigrant lawyer to file the waiver. I had my interview on July 2015 and was also given a blue paper stating that I needed to file the waiver. My waiver was received by USCIS at Nebraska on August 23rd 2015 and was approved on April 25th 2016.

on the waiver you have to prove extreme hardship, which can be letters and medical exams.

Thank you for the feedback.

[liquirojas 2]

Hope your mom's waiver is approved faster than mine did!

Good luck!

[Beliza23 1]

Thank you again.

Who is the qualifying relative?

[Beliza23 1]

What do you mean with qualified relative.

I'm petition my mother.

[LoveMyTico 999]

And was she only unlawfully present? No crime other than that?

I found this . hopefully it will explain who the qualifying relative is. I don't believe a child can be the qualifying relative for a simple overstay. SEE BELOW

What is an Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility and Who Is a Qualifying Relative?

An Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility is filed by an alien in the event that an alien has been denied admission to the United States. Different sections of INA § 212 allow for the application of a waiver of inadmissibility. Waivers must establish that a qualifying relative will suffer "extreme hardship" if the alien is not admitted. So who is the qualifying relative? It depends on the ground of inadmissibility. A waiver for prior unlawful presence (INA 212(a)(9)(B)(v)) or misrepresentation (INA 212(i)) requires it to be established that "the refusal of admission to such immigrant alien would result in extreme hardship to the citizen or lawfully resident spouse or parent of such alien," whereas a waiver for criminal history (INA 212(h)) requires it to be established "that the alien's denial of admission would result in extreme hardship to the United States citizen or lawfully resident spouse, parent, son, or daughter of such alien." A US citizen fiancé(e) may also be a qualifying relative [9 FAM 41.81 N9.3(a) and 8 CFR 212.7(a)(1)(i)]. For the purposes of this memo the Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility will be referred to as an I-601.

I would get a good immigration lawyer's opinion before you waste you time and money on a waiver.

Did you have to go back to Juarez and have the interview again after your I-601 was approved?

[Beliza23 1]

One's the i601 is approved yes the Nvc will send you a second interview to juarez if is less then a year from the first one you wouldn't have to do biometrics and medical exam again.

[LoveMyTico 999]

Depends...if it's an regular 601, you already went through the nvc. The embassy will contact you. My husband didn't have a second interview..he was just asked to drop off his passport and updated medical and police certificate. Then they issued the visa a few days later

[Jawaree 717]

A child cannot waiver an overstayed parent only a CIMT parent, but the child can petition the parent

OP was your mom married in the US or has parents here?

After waiver approval depending on the Embassy a 2nd interview may be done if the medical was over 6 or 12 mths

[Beliza23 1]

What does a cimt mean ? Citizen what about LPR?

[aleful 1,905]

hi

we already went through this on your other thread, children don't qualify to file the hardship letter

the only one who could is your dad if he marries your mom
