You said you needed a waiver last time, reasonable to assume you would need one this time.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

You need to take a look at your other thread again and re-read the responses there. You got some good advice on the first thread.

1) Please stick to your original thread.

2) I-601A is to overcome a bar due to unlawful presence (filed while still in the US). That doesn't apply to your case in any way (from what you've stated).

3) If you are ineligible for the visa and the ineligibility is waivable, you will be informed at that time, and then can submit the waiver.

What paperwork did the CO give you when you were denied?

My understanding is that the CO makes the determination if a waiver is applicable (I could be dreaming that though)

Everything crossed for a smooth and stress free journey
