Hello,
For a few reasons, I overstayed my student visa on 2013, then come back to my home country on 2018. During that time I married with a US citizen and we have 2 kids who born there as well. I asked several lawyer and they advice me to go back to my country and apply for immigrant visa in US embassy in my country, and I don't need to apply for any waiver. I had 2 years residency on my student visa that's why I was a bit worry but I decided to left the US because my mother was sick, and bring my kids with me.
I spent my 2 years residency then applied my IR1 here and I just got my interview then the consular told me that my visa got rejected and need a follow up for i-601 waiver.
I am so devastated right now, we've been separated with my husband for over 3 years and wanted to come back.
How long is the process for i-601 and what should I do next? Anybody has similar issues with mine?
