I used paper clips for individual papers and binder clips for the whole packet

Did it get accepted like that?  How did you use binder clips for the whole packet? I have tons of papers hahah. What did you paper clip when you said individual papers?

I am trying to organize my I-601 waiver packet and I have a few questions about how to assemble and organize it. Can I use just binder clips to put the information together? I was thinking of each section have a binder clip and a cover page so they know what each section is. I was thinking of also two whole punching them at the top because I heard they prefer that as well. I don't have a two prong folder to use and I know they don't like binders plus stapled papers as well. Any tips to organize the waiver packet to ensure USCIS will like it? Thanks!

There is no window for them. It all depends on your Vegas Lottery slot kind of situation. Some adjudicators process RFE responses quickly. Some sit on it for months. 

Even though my case has been approved for expedite before I got an RFE, it might still take awhile?

What is a normal response time from USCIS when they received your RFE? (I-601 waiver)  They received my response to the RFE about 18 days ago so I was curious how long would it take for them to make a decision. My case has even been expedited as well. thank you

No, outside of whatever package you use. Like that would be the label for your envelope/ box

Okay! So just tape in the front of the package where the address part is usually? Did you do that for your RFE?

I have no idea, I just explained @JFH suggestion 

Oh okay. I just dont want to be wrong

Oh ok! Are you sure? Did you do that for your RFE? I just want to make sure I am doing everything correctly

Just now, JFH said:

Yes, you can use one of the two-prong folders with the prongs at the top. If your evidence is too thick for the envelope, can you tape the envelope to the outside of your own packaging, like a label? 

I could do that! Like attach it to the cover of the folder? So thats the first thing they would see? Then when they open the folder, they will see my original waiver letter?

Just now, JFH said:

Never send a binder, just the pages you need to send. At most use a paper clip to hold pages together. 

Would about a folder that has two prongs at the top? I would two hole punch every page. I have way too many things to use just a paper clip. I did that when I submitted my waiver package originally. What about the envelope they gave me? Should I return it back? 

If you were ever sent an RFE request, how did you assemble your package (binder, cover page, etc)? I know they give you an envelope and obviously my evidence isn't going to fit in that. What do I do with the envelope? I know the RFE letter must be the first thing in the packet. Any advice?

I know it's different.  I'm just pointing out that using the financial reason could be a negative, even if you're using a joint sponsor.

Ok. USCIS is already aware of my financial situation and nothing has happened. I have other reasons other than financial i will expediting. They can technically ignore financial reasons and look at my other reasons. The worst thing that will happen is the request will be denied and we will just have to wait for it be approved in normal processing times.

Right, but still:  anything that makes it appear that the beneficiary could become a public charge will be a negative.

I understand but he has been deemed that he wouldnt be public charge due to having a co-sponsor. This is a waiver for inadmissibility, its different

Expediting for financial reasons can backfire.  After all, the USC petitioner is supposed to be able to support the immigrant - not the other way around.

I have a co-sponsor

So it should be fine. It doesnt hurt to try when i have a co-sponsor

Do you have a doctor that can attest to your medical condition 

Yes I do and have already gotten the proof from my doctor as evidence

Just now, Boiler said:

Certainly Graduate School seems a difficult sell, perhaps focus on your Medical situation.

It doesnt hurt to try though? I will be focusing on my severe anxiety and having no income, no job but doesnt hurt to add that?

1 minute ago, Boiler said:

Nnot sure what Graduate School has to do with an expedite but your finacial and medical situation is specific to you.

Due to my husband not being with me, I am not able to focus on schoolwork and struggling. Also I am going to be a teacher so im needed here in the US. And im exposed to the virus because I am currently finishing student teaching in the schools so thats why i put graduate school

There are specific criteria to qualify to expedite, and as everyone's situation is different, there is no template.  Best bet is to read up on the expedite criteria and write a letter as to how it specifically relates to your situation.  

Thank you

I am trying to expedite my husband's I-601 waiver and was curious about a few things. I am expediting due to financial, medical and being in graduate school as well. I have the supporting documents to submit but I was curious about something. Do we need a letter stating why we are expediting? If so, does anyone know where I can find an example? I am struggling to write it. Thank you.

No, nothing from a joint sponsor is required with the waiver. The waiver only needs the I-601, payment, and evidence supporting the extreme hardship being claimed.

Ok thank you.

Just now, geowrian said:

You're confusing the I-864 - provided at NVC - and the I-130 - provided to USCIS initially. There is no co sponsor for an I-130. There is no financial information required with the I-130.

Okay I understand. It has been a long process for me and I am very stressed getting everything together for this waiver so please understand where I am coming from.

I just would like to know if the co-sponsor information I provided at NVC would need to be submitted for the I-601 waiver. Thank you.  

I am trying to find enough evidence to be included in this waiver. If you have any other tips for what to include in my waiver. It would be much appreciated.

Thank you again.

There is no such thing as a co or joint sponsor for an I-130. I think you're referring to the I-864 (which would have been provided at NVC).

Nothing from an I-864 sponsor applies to an I-601.

Hello,

Yes cosponsor and joint sponsors do exist or it would have never been approved for anyone who doesn't have enough money to sponsor their spouse. The whole process of the I-130 and at NVC wouldn't have approved if I didn't have the cosponsor.  My co-sponsor had to fill out the I-864 so I was curious of USCIS wants to know that for the waiver packet and I wasn't sure if that needs to be included. 

Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone,

I have a question about evidence for the I-601 waiver. I am the United States Citizen (petitioner) and starting to finalize all the evidence needed for this waiver. So with I-130 we had a co-sponsor that was approved,  do we need to include the co-sponsors evidence- I-864 and their information in the waiver packet? OR is that unnecessary information to include in it? 

I would be grateful for anybody's help.

Thank You!

In that case, I don't think he would need to fill out that section. If he has no other qualifying relatives in U.S., I'd leave it blank.

 

But again, it's probably wise to consult with an immigration attorney just to be sure.

Okay thank you!  Yeah he doesn't have relatives in the United States other than myself, my parents and my siblings. Just wanted to make sure to fill it out correctly!  attorneys are very expensive and I cant afford that right now. Thank you

Would he put my parents/siblings in that section though?? He has no other relatives here and im the qualifying relative (spouse).

Hi!

 

From what I understand, this section is just asking about immediate relatives, meaning siblings and/or parents. With that being said, I'd recommend consulting with an immigration attorney to be sure, because ever case is different. Good luck!

Hello everyone!

I hope all is well!

I have a question about Part 6 in the I-601 Waiver application. My husband is filling this out but we wanted to know what we should put for the section that says "Information about Your Other Relatives With Ties to The United States. He doesn't have any family members who live in the United States but would he put my parents and siblings on there ? Does that count as other relatives? Or is it only if we have children?  {lease help! 

Thank you
