I did my own waiver I just researched the internet and I put every possible hardship that I could think of, supported it with evidences and sent it. I was approved 5 months after that and received my visa package a month after that. I'm getting ready to travel to the us now.

I hope time goes by fast for you guys and I'm very sure your waivers will be approved

auolah did you get your visa and how long did it take to receive the IL from Abu Dhabi.

I just got approved and I'm going through Abu Dhabi embassy as well

Well my wife and daughter are in the states, my wife prefers to be near her family.

Well if you like Abu Dhabi you would love Dubai

Who has their I-601 approved and going through Abu dhabi. How long did it take to receive the instructions letter and what was the process

Keep your hopes up. I was expecting to be approved by June or July but was very surprised to have an E-mail on the 30th of April. It took 4 months and 11 days to get my approval.

Now just waiting for the embassy to contact me, it seems like forever.

I-601 Waiver

Receipt Date 12/09/2013

Approval Date 04/30/2014 Finally after waiting 8 years and two denied waivers.

But who can tell me, how long will it take for the NVC or the embassy to contact me

8 Years Marriage still waiting for the I-601 to be approved

you should give them one month specially if the mailing address is outside the united states, if you didn't receive anything by that time then you should contact the 800 number to inquire about the confirmation letter. but even after you receive the confirmation you still have to wait 6 to 8 months until they start looking at it

I-601- (INA 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II)). Ten years bar

Lockbox: December 9th 2013

Waiting -------

I don’t mean to shoot your hopes down but I have been dealing with this for the past 7 years.

I was in the US and I overstayed my visa by 5 years however I was given a VD before I got married then I had to leave the US. We have filed for K-3 visa in 2007 and I was found inadmissible to the U.S until December 2016. I filed for my waiver at that time and I was denied then I appealed it and I was also denied. I stopped trying until recently because the process has been changed to the better. Please know that I have been married to a USC for 7 years and I have a USC daughter as well but none of that can help if there is no extreme hardship to the USC.

Now I wrote all that just to show you how hard to get the I-601 waiver approved.

First step is to really research the I-601 Waivers and how to write an Extreme hardship letter with the supporting documents.

You have to look at the foreign country security status (US travel.state.gov as a evidence for the country condition) you have to state that you cannot leave to the U.S and relocate because you have either financial issue that you have to take care of in the U.S you can state education if you are going to school you can also mention that you cannot speak the language of that foreign country and the unemployment rate there as well. You have to really look at everything.

It took me one year to put my I-601 waiver together making 9 pages of extreme hardship letter and about 60 pages of supporting documents.

Currently I have IR visa pending as I was found inadmissible in November 2013, I have filed my I-601 with the lockbox in December 2013 I should get the feedback from them around June or July 2014. If this didn’t work then all what I can do is wait the remaining 3 years in which I will finish the 10 year ban.

I wish you all the best and really I hope you get whatever you’re looking for
