So my husband had his interview on Tuesday 2/26/19.
Monday he had his medical at 9am everything was going fine until they looked at his tattoo and the lady was rude and was looking over his tattoos with a magnifying glass and saw one of his tattoos that said Mexican pride and asked why he covered it but he covered that years ago before we even thought of going through this process because the tattoo was in ugly letters and fading but she could see it with a magnifying glass. He told her why and she went on to finish the exam. He had to see a psychologist because of his tattoos and she asked for his criminal records which he didn't have because it doesn't say he has to take them. She let him go back to the room to retrieve them. She asked for his waivers because he has a charge for burglary and he told her that he doesn't have his waivers yet because the lawyer told us that he has to get denied at the interview before he can file the waivers and she said no your doing it backwards blah blah blah. So finally his medical was done he ended up getting 3 shots. Medical total was $440.00
He went to biometrics and everything went smooth there.
Interview on 2/26/19 long story short everything went well until the interview officer looked through paperwork stamped it asked some questions my husband didn't specify what questions. Finally to his criminal record first thing he asked was where are your waivers? My husband no. Officer shook his head and told him so your telling me you came all the way over here for this interview for me to tell you that you are denied because you need waivers. My husband felt stupid. But that is what I read everywhere and that is what the lawyer told us the process is. He lives in Mexico not the US so why would he say he should have got the waiver first and told him that he was doing it all backwards (the same stuff the psychologist told him) He was so confused and was like WTF but to himself.
He was given a white paper that says: (it's in Spanish but I translated it?

So he left confused but at the same time this is what the lawyer told us needed to happen in order to file for the waivers. But why would the officer tell him that we should've filed the waivers first. The waiting game begins.
