Hi Ardilla818,

 

What country are you from? Where did you interview and did you have any special circumstances on your case? 2 months seems very short!!!  That's encouraging.

My husband is from Mexico. I expediate his 601 application based on crime, daughters asthma, me working OT to sustain two homes , high credit card  balances , house mortgage.

Hi Everyone, 

I am writing to know 1) how everyone is doing and  2) how long have you all been waiting for in Administrative Processing. It would be useful to know so we can have a better idea of how long we are suppose to wait for an answer. Thank you so much! 

I only waited like two months, then they asked me to file 601, I just got my 601 approved . I'm waiting to see what is next

that's fine.. I didn't expect anyone to be, just thought it was funny that everything was referred to as "he"

 

yes I was. I was down visiting (from a visa exempt country and had valid passport, etc. ) and was offered a job. I went to CBP to apply for work in the US, but from exiting, then re entering to apply at the POE, they denied it and put me into holding.. saying I was attempting to immigrate, so they deported me.

I believe you would have to file 601 and 212, but after interview if the officer gives you the option

there is no criminal charges, never have had any either.

601a is only from inside the US?

601a can only file when your in the US. , I'm confused on why they say you might need 212? And 601 if no criminal record or overstaying in US. How many times has he come to US?

Hi there. I'm waiting on a 601 waiver received April 2017. Any idea of what/when I should expect for a decision? Also, if my waiver is approved, what is the next step? Thanks!

You need to try and expediate otherwise it will take about 12 months

If you are inadmissible under a certain section.. is there a way to know for certain which waivers will be needed to application for readmission?

I have had multiple people give different answers.. Is there any way to know specifically from the government, prior to applying for any waiver ( visa application )

 

I find this information is very hard to find online, its not black and white. There are so many gray areas that it is very challenging to figure it out. 

I do not need the "ask a lawyer".. because I have done so and each one has a different say for which waiver will be needed.

 

If its said, "you will need a 212.. but you MAY need a 601 also"... why is there no definite answer?

 

 

You may need both 601 and 212 or 601a depending what is his inadmisability. If criminal first get it expunged, dismissed. Immigration will allow only certain expungement and certain dismissal. You can email me

Also give them explanation of why your spouse needs to be with you or your kids, like school, doc appointment, medical conditions, psychological reasons  hope this helps.

My husband went for the interview in Ciudad Juarez and tested positive for marijuana. Stupid, I know. When he went to the interview, he got the blue paper with it checked off a 1 year ban for being an "addict" and a 10 year ban for illegal presence. Our lawyer reccommended he find a program, even though they didn't say he needed to take one, and that we could start the 601 during the 1 year drug ban. Has anyone had any experience with this? He will be living in Veracruz. Does the embassy only work with certain medical facilities? Did anyone else get reccommended a specific program? TIA!

Yes. He needs to do get rehab, interview again and make sure he is clean. Medical exam will be needed.   If that is the only reason for denial, immigration will offer s 601 after second interview a year after first interview.

I-601A denied has some one gone thrue this after 9 months we get denied this has been the worst day of my life 😞reason they gave us I make enough money to support my self and my kids🙁

You need to reapply. Provide document regarding risk for psychological problems. Stress overwork. Tell them how the kids will be affected emotionally, psychological. If any health problems or any medical problems. Does he help with doc appointment while you work. If kids older have them write a letter stating why they need and want father here and how they will feel if he is not here. Also go to an psychologist specialize in immigration.

Hi All, Our I-601A waiver was approved in May 2017,  interview was on April 2018 in Juarez, my wife was refused because she brought her son in 1998 (7 years old), now we need to file I-601/212, my attorney said if Juarez field office accepts it then 3-4 months if they don't then file with USCIS and that could take up to 13 months. Any advise, suggestion, useful information would be highly appreciated, Good luck to us all.

Request to expediate with a written letter and proffer of why is it emergent to expediate. Ect crime rate maybe one of you has medical condition, maybe no babysitter.

Hello, 

I had a question about the interview. I know there is no script but do they use the information from your packet to ask questions? 

 

My husband and I have a difficult case. We got a very complicated RFE. I have dual citizenship. I was born in Mexico and I am requesting a waiver for my husband who is also from Mexico. The RFE stated to have more information based on hardship and credibility. It wasn't believed that I would leave to Mexico with him and also staying in the u.s. Is what I would choose since I make more money than him. We sent a psych report which was never sent in the beginning (I know big mistake). 

 

I know we haven't gotten approved but I am being hopeful that we provided a good RFE packet to get approved. The RFE requested more evidence supporting scenerio a) hardship if I stay in the U.S. without my husband and b) hardship if I leave and live in Mexico with him. We sent a new declaration letter supporting hardship. Talked about religious beliefs, family separation, safety, mental health. We sent a psych report with an assessment. Additional letter from family. I am a teacher so we also talked about wage differences and my principal wrote a letter and my co worker as well. Our original packet was highly picked at by the officer. I am hopeful that our packet is good enough to be approved but now I am scared about the interview for my husband. 

 

  I know I am thinking ahead since most people are saying that it is taking 6-7 months for an interview. I am worried that the questions will be regarding getting an RFE or asking about me being Mexican? Does anyone have a similar story as mine. I make more money than him so we focused more on the emotional and psychological health that I am experiencing currently that will experience if I leave with my husband to Mexico and also if I stay here without him. Just wondering if anyone has something similar. 

 

Thank you for listening. 

Leaving to Mexico should not be an option. If you have kids your kids have right to Education here and Medical health here. You and your kids and husband have better opportunities here. Both of you know only how to live in the USA. If 601a approved and your application is true and correct then your husband should not have problem answering correctly. Everything that is in your application should be answered same verbally. If he does not have any criminal history other than traffic tickets then their should not be any reason for denial at interview. 

Did you file a 485 together with i130?. If not then you next step I believe is 485, and the 601a.

Why are you going to be denied?, I601a is only done here in US while he is still here. The I 601 is done abroad after interview

Yes you do need new interview, medical and most likely affidavit support. My husband had to do a medical exam and interview the second time they offered an interview, because it had been a year since last interview.

This time around we are not sure because his last interview was Feb 2018. 

Did you already email the us consulate through their website under Public Inquiry?

If 601a approve. Your Dad would have to get an interview abroad and wait about 2 weeks max for visa if visa approve.

Ask them what is going on . Email them through their webpage under Public Inquiry. 

My name is Cinthia , my husband just got is approved 601 waiver it took 2months because thankfully immigration approved to expediate my husbands application

So you do have to interview again?

Congrats. You will probably need another interview if it's been a year since las interview.

BtW have you heard from consulate.
