I looked on the website for the attorney, she is pretty expensive. I will look into it more though. I would like someone local in NY or even NJ. Anyone know of someone please let me know.

My advise is this. if you dont already- consider getting Pre Paid Legal. I have been a member for

5 years something. This should cut down legal cost alot. plus you get free UNLIMITED

consultations. plus the attorney is local.. :thumbs:

the fee per month is something like 26.00.

you can get cheaper plans < 17.00 > later once your over this hurdle..

Well the price for writing a 601 is pretty much standard and this is how much attornies charge! Yes, having a local attorney would be nice, but Laurel has LOTS of experience with waivers and has a very high success rate.

Eventually you would make your own decission on lawyers, but think twice before taking any step. Talk to Laurel, she has an awesome free chat session on Wednesdays. Where people can ask questions!

www.immigrate2us.net check it out, this is a great resource for waivers. Also have u filed ur paper work? when is the interview at the embassy, if that is the case.. Wait for the interview and then file for a waiver, I think after the visa is refused you have 6 months or a year to file the waiver..

Atif I am praying for all of you to be reuntied. It is such a long stuggle coming from Islamabad and hoping and praying that once Ramadan is completed that they move alot of these cases to approved and issued. Hang in there and you and the rest of the couples are in my prayers.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Ok well my husband wasn't actually deported he left on his own. On his records when u call this 800# and put in his alien # it comes up and says exclusion. SO I dont really know what that means. So he wasn't really deported under the expense of the U.S. I don't knw I am getting even more and more dishearted everyday. I just hope by some miracle of Allah that this goes through. I dont even know what to expect. I am just expecting the worst but hoping for the best. Thanks anyway guys!! You all have been very helpful.

I looked on the website for the attorney, she is pretty expensive. I will look into it more though. I would like someone local in NY or even NJ. Anyone know of someone please let me know.

Yes! an excellent resource on Waivers is www.immigrate2us.net, I would suggest hiring a good Waiver lawyer! As waivers can be really tricky. Laurel Scott is an excellent lawyer www.visacentral.net I think is her website.

Waivers cannot be expedited, until and unless its a dire emergency. Is your husband in Pakistan or US? If he is in the US, your safe file all paperwork immediately if he isnt in deportation proceedings.

If he was removed, then he has to file I-601 waiver. If you have filed for K-3 and CR-1 whatever reaches embassy first he would be interviewed for that. Then he would be refused a visa for over staying in the US and would be told that he can file for a waiver, then comes the fun part a waiver needs to be prepared along with fees and submitted. Your husband will be then finger printed and then the wait starts....

Like I said, I know people who have been waiting two years AFTER there interview on waivers. Its just sad, but waivers just take forever (especially for people from Pakistan).

Shon and A1v,

I am with you on this boat guys! Dont give up hope! A1v how long has it been for you now? Shon I feel for you. Dont give up hope. If it makes you feel better, I am close to one year on my interview too now and I get the same responses just like you..

Like A1v says last ten days of Ramzan, maybe that will bring us some good luck..

I have lived in NY for years. So, ALHAMDULILLAH, have lots of contacts there. How can I help u?

Well I don't know if I should wait for after his interview to get the waiver or find someone to start making it now. I mean on one side what if he doesn't need it and I canmake it later like someone suggested or I make it now and so he can have it at his inerview. I don't know what to do I am so confused. I tried to get onto the www.immigrate2us.net site a few times and it won't go through. Don't know if something is wrong with the server or not. But if you have some numbers of attorneys in NY or Jersey I would apprecate it. I will also talk to Laurel. I know that she is saying that she can get the case done faster, but is it true. I mean really is it up to her, ist't there a whole bunch of gov. BS to go through anyway??

Ok well my husband wasn't actually deported he left on his own. On his records when u call this 800# and put in his alien # it comes up and says exclusion. SO I dont really know what that means.
