My husband's I-601 waiver was accepted July 29, 2014 @ Nebraska. Since it was for my husband's waiver, USCIS cannot give me an update over the phone. They said that my husband has to call, but he is in the Philippines. Tis is so frustrating and by reading the thread on waivers, it gives us a little hope. Is there anyone here knows what the current processing date is? I'm not sure who to believe, someone posted an approval on a June acceptance and many are waiting longer than that. Any feedback will be highly appreciated. Thank you all.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'M SO JEALOUS!!! Love seeing your updates. Good luck to the both of you!

Finally!!! just got approved...Received 2 texts @ 6:25pm and when I went to the uscis website, this is what I saw! After 10mos and 9days of waiting. Thank you Jesus!!!

I called yesterday again, and I asked for tier2 officer. On my first call, the guy told me to call back in 9mins, I didn't argue so I called again in 9 mins. The lady who answered phone said that I'll wait for 3 hrs & I told her it's ok, got plenty of time to wait. I got an answer in less than 10mins. The Officer that talked to me was actually nice. I asked her why my file was sent to California when my husband is still in the Phils. She said, that was wrong and file will not go to CA. After decision, the files will be forwarded to NVC then to US embassy in Manila and that they have no way of knowing how long we still have to wait. She assured me that it is being worked on at this point. And I should feel lucky that there is no RFE. OK? Since I am petitioning for my stepson too, that makes my case slower than normal. She said that it shouldn't take longer than 9 mos and hopefully will get an answer this month or early next.
I think for us February filers, to keep our sanity, let's go on with our life and live day by day. When the time comes for our turn, and i'm sure it will, that'll be one sweet day!!! but till then, I will stop looking at the status for a while and keep moving forward. I've wasted so much time checking, calling and stressing about all these. Kind of pointless when we get nothing but promises from people who doesn't even works on our case. Info pass will tell you the same thing so why waste time on that too? I've brought my whole family here in the states(parents and siblings) and with that experiences, I should have known better. I guess now is different coz' I'm waiting for the love of my life that's why I'm so frustrated. To all of us reading this, pls. update your status so VJ can get a better estimates. More power and God bless us all...

Just want to share with you my niece's experience just very recently with "rfe". She had the same thing happened, she called for a month regarding the RFE letter that was supposed to be mailed to her but never came. She went and travelled 130 miles for an infopass appointment but nothing came out of it. She was told that it was mailed again for the 3rd time but it did not arrive. Very frustrated coz' she was told that until she respond to the RFE letter everything will be put on hold. After 2 mos of waiting, she and her husband moved and had to do a change of address. Guess what? as soon as the address was changed in the system, the "RFE" status disappeared and went back to "Initial Review". No one at USCIS can explain the sudden changed but was told it could be just a "glitch" in the system.
