Is there anyone else here who has filed a waiver with Montreal/Vermont and are waiting for a decision?

Sorry, I can't answer that question, but wondering why, if the ban is over, you would need to wait on the waiver. It is no longer required.

I would get your Senator involved and maybe try up the chain at the embassy, the immigrant visa chief or Consul?

I received a waiver application at Montreal for an I-601 and also got a 212a, but haven't filed, instead I sent a copy of everything I had to the director of DHS/USCIS in Washington for an honest opinion of the facts as the reasoning for the waiver in Montreal was tainted by a COs noting in my file her impressions which were wrong. Hoping to hear from DC soon.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. We have goten no where with our waiver. It's really hard arguing a case when they wont listen to me. And it seems government workers really hate it when you point out mistakes. That is our obstacle, no one is willing to listen. I keep telling them that the I-130 has been approved another 5 times since it's second revival in May 2007 with the last approval being Sept 25 2007. However CIS keeps telling me that a waiver is necessary.

I ask what for and they say because we sent one it, and it's being processed. They can't give me an answer till processing is finished.

So I say finish processing it for what- CIS says overstay.

Me- I've already served my time for the overstay, why are you processing a waiver that is no longer necessary? Let me transfer you to.....

This has been my coversation with Vermont for the last 5 months.

I have a senator involed and even they get the run around. I keep pushing for answers and nothing until today. Today we founf out that our wiaver-which was no longer needed has been approved. YEAH CIS! stupid a$$es. However I am grateful. Now I get to wait another 6-8 weeks for the paperwork to arrive from Vermont and another few months for the visa to arrive from Montreal.

Thanks I hope so too, sorry you had to pay for something you never needed, that part sux, now try and get a refund, it ain't going to happen. I'm now preparing a package to send to Sharon's Senator. I hope your wait is a short one now.
