We have an waiver request in for my fiancé's flight on Monday... United is still doing some flights but I need to call them and confirm the details of his flight bc it's been changed a couple of times already. 
 
This is our third attempt at a waiver.  The first time we tried, they said they needed more information but they didn't say what we needed.  Then my dad passed suddenly so we included that information on our request and they responded with a request for "proof of relationship" and a copy of the death certificate.  That was probably two weeks ago and we haven't heard back yet.  Unfortunately, I haven't heard of anyone else receiving approval yet so I'm starting to lose hope.  His visa doesn't expire until Sept but it still has me on edge.

Yup but since he was just traveling through it was no issue! I was stressing for no reason. 
 
After nearly 48 hrs of travel and 4 planes, he arrived here late last night! He said the CBP process is San Francisco was SUPER easy and lasted less than 5 minutes.

He's on the phone with them right now... *fingers crossed*
 

Sorry to hear that you keep getting rejected. I actually know of two people who got their waivers. One person got it within an hour and they’re leaving today for the US. The other person got their waiver for a flight in June. 

I'm surprised you haven't got it back yet... My fiancé's interview was on March 2nd and he got his back a few days later.
I'm dealing with the same concerns about restrictions because my fiancé can't travel until towards the end of April and our wedding it planned for June. 
I think the implications could be bad when you go to adjust your status... especially since you'd be entering with the intent of getting married.  Technically, if you get married in the US and aren't on a K-1, I believe you're supposed to leave and then file an I-130.
The K-1 AOS instructions require the I-94 as part of the evidence which would show that you didn't use your K-1 to enter: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-485instr-pc.pdf

thank you for your message. I really appreciate it. I sent you a direct message but I clicked something and it was already sent without finishing my message. I just want to thank you in advance and I hope my questions are not too much for you to answer. 
 
Congratulations on your approval and thank you for offering help.  

This letter has specific instructions for the actual interview. Good luck with yours!

@Greenbaum Thank you!  I'll go check out that information.

My finance is from Australia too and I'm just over in Mississippi on the coast!

I'm probably crazy but we're planning ours with the worst case scenario being us losing a deposit.  We tried to file early enough that we had wiggle room in our timeline but not so early that it'd force him to come here too soon.  I'm military and we'll be moving even further away from my family next year which is why we're trying to plan it.  It's a little stressful but it'll work out how it's meant to... All we can do it make sure we're prepared and continue to follow instructions!

Hello to everyone else as well!  We received our NOA1 6 Sept 19 and I'm just now exploring the forums.

With the faster than normal  approval times are  many of you looking for  your NOA2s BEFORE years end? It's a good bet that some of you may see that, OMG  how exciting. I'm  rooting for you all.
