Hi, after talking to other friends (who went on the same journey) and got different counsel, it seems our viable option is to reapply our 612 waiver. My question: How many times can we apply for it?

Be that as it may, given there is now a 10 year ban, my advice to seek competent legal advice stands.

With one exception, a denied waiver recommendation application cannot be reconsidered or appealed, and you should not apply again under the same basis as used in your original waiver request. The one exception is if you requested a waiver based on persecution or exceptional hardship to a U.S. citizen (or legal permanent resident) spouse or child, and you have new relevant information which you believe may result in a different decision. You may apply again to USCIS. However, please be aware that you will need to submit a new waiver recommendation application, including all documents listed in Steps 1 through 3 of the Instructions, and pay the processing fee.

Thank you for this insight! We will take this into account. 
 
Our atty very vaguely discussed the I601, because he strongly urge us to re apply. He said that route is the hardest one, because it will just add years to our waiting in my home country.. So to answer this I guess, no.  I am really in a bind.
