This lady is my maven on waivers, so if you wanted to appoint a Lawyer I would start here: https://www.scottimmigration.net/content/i601memo She has a very good description in the link above as to what is the history, what is required and how to present it. What you are trying to do is make the adjudicators job easy, well laid out and starting with the strong arguments first and working down to lessor ones, I do not know if they have a scoring system, but if I was the adjudicator and I like an easy life ,if I have seen enough quality points I would just scan through the rest as you have done your job. Now you have an intro and outro, introducing yourself, explaining the situation, asking nicely for their consideration etc but the above is the meat. You have an approved I 130 so you do not need to prove the relationship. Quick mention does no harm. I have certainly seen much weaker cases approved, as I mentioned a lot of it is presentation, Compelling arguments involve less work. I am from the UK so if I needed to file a waiver I certainly could put one together but my approach would be different to someone filing one from a Mexico perspective. I am a firm believer that no waiver is impossible, some will require more work. I also believe the process is stupid, just involves time and money, if you want the money just charge a larger fee. It is what it is.

Very Trump like, coming back in the car listening to BBC, they were covering the media response, the talking heads going on about this and that, missing the point, he has all the headlines are they are defending the indefensible. I would be VERY surprised if Reform are ever in the position to implement.

I was listening to the BBC and they had this live and I just heard the end of it. Thrown the cat amongst the pigeons, the Establishment has been implying for years there is nothing that can be done. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/26/nigel-farage-plan-deport-asylum-seekers-scorn-from-legal-experts Unveiling Reform UK’s “Operation Restoring Justice” at a combative press conference in Oxford, Farage said he would rip up the UK’s postwar human rights commitments, contained in a range of international conventions, to deport “absolutely anyone” – including women and children – arriving by small boat. Calling asylum seekers a threat to national security and to British women, he claimed his plans would stop Channel crossings “within days” and “save tens and possibly hundreds of billions of pounds”. Downing Street accused Farage of not being serious about his plans, but in a sign of how Reform has set the tone for public debate, the prime minister’s spokesperson refused to criticise his references to irregular migration as an “invasion” and a “scourge” or his prediction that Britain is “not far away from major civil disorder”.

I am pretty familiar with I 601 not a's but I think of them as the baby offshoot. Waivers are mainly matter pf presentation. My first comment is that it is a package, you need to evidence the statements you make, for example if there are security issues you need to evidence those with quality sources as attachments, if there are medical issues why they can not be obtained on Mexico. Financial could be an issue but not so much that he could not work, he still could, but presumably at a much reduced income. I have to go but will have a think and respond later.

Lets say you marry File an I 130 about 16 months Then file an In 601a 3 years, guessing as I do not know if the illegal presence is the only issue or how long things will take in the future. Consulate interview You are a long way from proving marriage bonafides

Somewhat insensitive and not as if the book will not be thrown at him. The lack of response and then fled the scene.

First thing I did was get a SSN.

Even my favourite YT Lawyer is going against this and he used to be all in.

Not sure how likely you are to be interviewed. Divorce waiver is the simplest option, in my mind throwing abuse in complicates matters unless you want to naturalise earlier. I would be inclined to at least send in an Errata sheet. But you have a Lawyer, no one here is a Lawyer.

This is going to sound very picky but you need a reason, if it is valid I assume they will approve, but most seem not to be approved. So not valid? But it is free to try.

Nothing you have mentioned would cause a problem.

You have been here since May

The format is not that important, the reason however is.

I have not heard of college transcripts being sealed Possibly No

If you want sensible answers at least answer the questions asked.

Huh when did they ever?

Might have been some editing that impacted my reply. So 2026, you can not use the 3 year rule when you are no longer in a good faith marriage. theoretically under the 5 year rule the marriage is no longer relevant but I have seen cases where people have been asked about it.

Ohh if you change your address you need to notify them.

You can apply to naturalise 5 years minus 90 days after the start date on your GC. The N400 asks about your marital status etc. i assume this will be mid 2028, I would not apply the day you are eligible, give it a week.

I remember when I 601a came in, the whole thing made little sense to me, including why if you were here illegally you would give your address and contact details, sort of I am here come and get me. Gives you no status, and I never came across anything that said we will not deport you, not like say DACA. But then waivers strike me as silly, just a question of presentation, money and waiting, waste of everyone’s time.

I do not know what you did but I can confirm Ks do not have Pads they are not subject to the Visa Bulletin

This has always been the case, well at least for the last 20 ish years. and not just marriage cases.

The 16 year old maybe 3 years after the parents arrive. The others assuming they are single c 2045 i would suggest she petitions all of them, well if you want to save money not the 16 year old. You never know what could happen.

She can certainly apply
