The approval after the biometric appt? After sending packet how long before check cleared?

I had to have husband on line so he could give them permission to speak to me. Either my packet was sent later than I was told or it was never sent bc they are not showing anything in system as being received. 

Finally spoke to NVS yesterday with my husband on the phone. Obviously my packet was never sent or sent later than I thought because there is nothing pending in system.

Well let us know when you have heard anything. I really hope your lawyer actually sent it! That is what i am worried about that he might have just never sent it.

I will def keep you posted. I tried calling NVS this morning and the only thing they would tell me that the I130 was approved but in regards to the I601 A that my husband needs to call to get info. He dosent speak english so they said I would have to call with him on the line so he could give permission for them to talk to me.

No, he left the US just before they approved for 601 waivers to be done while living in the US illegal. When we inquire with an attorney he was in the US and in 2015 we had no hopes for me to help him being in the country.

How long did he have to stay out the country? Where is he from??? I filed the I601 A my husband is here in the US. Crazy that this has to be so difficult

Yes that is not normal! You should have definitely had something by now. I believe most get their fingerprint appt 1 month after they received your packet.

Exactly what I was thinking. Seems that at least check would be cleared after 2 months

Yes I just spoke to our lawyer yesterday and it has been received but I have not received any letters from them yet. The check has not been cashed yet and no biometrics appt. Its been 2 weeks for us.

2 weeks seems to be ok. Its been over 2 months for me and nothing. Not even checm cleared

Sorry that was meant for @sylcar. But were able to find out anything about your waiver? Did your lawyer answer you?

No he has not answered

You should double check with lawyer to see if they actually sent it and if it was received. You should have received something by now that seems like such a long time. Or I would suggest calling them to see if they have received maybe they are just behind on sending out the letters. And you are right when you get sent to do biometrics does NOT mean waiver is approved yet. They will send a separate letter in about 4-5 months to let you know if they approved your waiver or if denied or if they need more evidence. I am in the same boat as you just waiting to get any kind of response from them.

Wow well its definitely good to know Im not in this boat alone. Have they already recieved your packet? Have u got your biometrics appt?

Most likely the lawyer didn't sent the packet in on time. That's my guess. Call the lawyer to tell you the exact day they have mailed out your waiver.

I am going to have to call them.

I greatly appreciate your response. Im def getting impatient with this . The "not knowing" is the worst. I will call them to see what they tell me. Lawyer hasnt been responding 🙄

Oh ok. Thank you! The wait for any response just seems so long and I am just so nervous. I try not to think about it too much so hopefully it goes by faster 

How long did it take for you to get letter for biometrics after your packet was sent? The I601 A is not necessarily aproved when you get sent to do biometrics? Is this correct?

Hello. I am new to this forum. I have questions about the I-601a and hope someone can help. I took all documentation to my lawyer the last week on August so that he could sent packet off. Packet was sent I assume 2nd week in September. A check for $715 was submitted with packet for filing fees. Check still has not cleared not have we received receipt of packet being recieved or appointment for biometrics. Its been over 2 months. Can anyone give me any suggestions what my next step should be? Thanks in advance.
