Saw some very old responses (2008) and thought I should ask anew.  Getting ready ahead of time for Processing DS-260 for IR-1 spouse In Philippines.  Does she need both NBI and Police Clearances OR just Police Clearances of residences, ie. Antique, Pampanga (Mabalacat and Angeles City) OR just NBI.  Thanks.

The USEM only asked for the NBI based on my experience.

Ganun po ba nag email ako kaso nagkamali ako sa date 2019 nailagay ko instead of 2020 ang year ng approval kya email ko sila uli. Hindi ba sila magalit? baka maapektohan yung visa application ko? Salamat.

Of course not, People make mistakes and this is not intentional. As long as you submit the copy of notice of approval of 601 and copy of your passport again. By the way, your extreme hardship on 601 , is it based on your immediate relative or family petition, CR 1?- Are you in FB 601 waiver support group?

hindi ko alam na ipadala pala notice of approval sa emabassy maraming salamat. God bless.

You don't have to send it, not really necessary kasi nasa USEM na ang approval mo, USCIS sent it already. Kaya lang ako sumulat  is to follow up ang inquire on my case.

I think if you are just waiting on the consulate you can request to expedite it through NVC. (That is the info I received in a previous post). NVC does not have as many restrictions and requirements for expedite requests. 

Thank you, appreciate your help. Will contact NVC.

You can call USCIS and request to expedite your case. I applied for an expedite because I am a registered nurse in Michigan (living in Mexico due to denial at interview and requiring a 601 waiver) and the need for medical workers would qualify you for a government entity requiring your specific skill sets. 

My case was actually approved already as 4/29/2020 but the US embassy is closed and even with the need for medical workers ( I am an  NP). I am waiting for instruction from the embassy.

Still waiting for my 601 approval. Denied on7/23/2019. Sent 601 waiver, receipt date was 10/14/2019.... still waiting. Keep me posted on your case. Thanks. There are good info on FB 601 Support Group. Best of luck

Hi, I got my 601 Approved last March 2020 after I was refused last June 2019 (601A).  I cannot find info on how to reach or to do next steps.  Shall I walk in to any window at the US Embassy and inform them about my approval?  

I think you just have to wait for an instruction from the USEM  once USCIS sent the 601 approval to the embassy. Based on what I hear from other people, USEM will contact you and give you an instruction. Currently they are close due to lockdown. I know 2 people in the same boat as you are and still waiting for an instruction. Best of luck. 

How can I join the 601 support group?

My background

Lived for 22 years in the US , married to a US citizen, came to US on C1/D visa. went back to US Embassy in Manila for an approved 601A  waiver but denied during my interview on July 2019. My lawyer filed for 601 waiver, extreme hardship due to my husband age and health status. He is 78 years old. I am a professional in medical field and have built my career in the US over the past 22 years. I am devastated but I feel for my husband. His health is now being aggravated by our separation. Any other tips that other folks have done to expedite their cases will be helpful. Thank you .
