I just heard from the US Consulate this week guys! 

Hello, 
My I-601 waiver was approved in early December 2018 but I haven't heard from the Montreal US Consulate as of yet. Does anyone know the average processing time there for these cases? Thanks! 😊

Hi Guys!!
Today i got the approval for my 485/Green card. Two days after i send in my new medicals. Thanks a lot for your support. I am out of here and hope to never have to lurk again in these forums. I wish every one the best.

VJ has given us so much, so I figure we pay it forward.  God bless to you all!   WATCH THE VIDEO NOW BELOW:

- Case transferred to Lagos, Nigeria  in 2016 after spouse was done schooling in London.
- visa denial in Lagos July 2016 after case was transferred there (advised to file I-601). 
- I-601 Waiver submitted December 29, 2016 ( 2 expedited request denied, Got 2 Congressmen involvedbut no change. So decided to just keep bugging Immigration Officer at field office every other month and finally got info from her of case file movement from one office to another in January 2018 and on March 20, 2018 she told me it went to processing Dept.)
- Waiver Approved March 23, 2018
