601 waiver time frame confused ...

[Elsalove2016 34]

I am in the process to start a 601 waiver for my partner for a cimt . I know every case is different and it also depends on the embassies but I am confused . I search in google and it says it takes 4-6 months for a waiver to be process but I see on here some people say 8 months one year even 18 months . When I started my k1 visa last year I search on google the time frame and it was accurate to process my k1 . I was just wondering what could cause a waiver to take longer to be process or if with the new trump administration has it effected the waivers .

Im on the same boat as you, they told me it could take from 1 year to 2 years in the worse case scnenario , but then I was reading that since June 2016 its been taking less like 4 to 6 months best case scenario, do you have any news on the status of your perdon?

Every case is different so honestly we shouldn't relay on other people's experiences unless they are similar to yours , but some cases are pretty difficult and they've to keep appealing until they get it and that can take a while, if you don't have criminal records then just chill and keep processing everything , my dad is meeting with the lawyer on  Wednesday , if you want send me a private message with your number if you have WhatsApp and we can exchange experiences  in very nervous as well

Last I saw 7 months or so seemed to be norm, now they go through the lock box there is not the variation you used to see.

Where you send the waiver packet for consideration.

It'll go to Nebraska because that is the designation location for i601 the processing time looks to be about 13 months but it may vary

Does it depend on the issue and the country of residence of the fiancé or spouse ? Does that effect anything in the waiver time frame

Issue may have an impact.

Why are people saying 6 to 10 months then? Im so confused with the time frames, I guess this is another waiting matter, my lawyer is preparing the file and I know thats a lot of work too

what you mean issue? like the reason why you requesting the waiver? Simple and no deported cases take less or what? Im very confused at this point

for example a petty theft police record or deportation etc

A complicated case may take longer.

If your lawyer prepares it through then it'll probably go by a little quicker really good lawyers know exactly the strong points and will load it with evidence so there won't be an rfe.
