My husband's case is very similar to yours. He had his 601A approved before we went to his first consular interview (June 15th, 2015). At his interview he was denied because he had admitted to trying drugs in the past. They gave him the blue paper that said he needed a 601 waiver and a second medical test anytime after March 2016. He was also required to do random drug testing over the course of the year.
June 2016 he went back and got his medical test and a 2nd consular interview. At the 2nd interview they said his medical was approved and that all he needed was the I-601 waiver. The Nebraska Service Center just received his I-601 October 11th, 2016. I'm not sure if they will just mail him his visa after it gets approved or if he has to go back again to Juarez to get a 3rd medical and interview. I really hope not because that just means it's going to take more time being stuck in Mexico and more money spent.
I will keep you updated and if there's anyone else out there with a case similar to ours please let me know! This is very frustrating and depressing.
