Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)AP TIME FRAME
Shortest I know was 1 day.

Plenty between 1-2-3 months.

Some around 6-8 months.

A couple for more than a year.

Hang in there dear.

I don't think you did anything wrong--it's just the nature of the beast.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)please help me i m in great troible
From what I understand about the K-3, they are a multiple entry visa and you do NOT require the AP to move in and out of the country. You can leave and enter anytime you want. Just make sure you're not spending a ton of time outside the U.S. Someone else can correct me if this is wrong.

When is your interview? You will require the support of your husband at the AOS interview. If he doesn't cooperate or pulls his I-864, your AOS will be denied and you will have to leave the U.S.

From your post, it seems like you guys are fighting a lot--that doesn't sound like "extreme cruelty" to me. The VAWA is not to be taken lightly. Don't attempt to prove extreme cruelty if none is taking place.

Also, you seem a lot more concerned about how to stay in the U.S. rather than working on your marriage. Focus on the latter. Just my two cents.

Good luck.

Depends on whether they had a lawful entry.

Or whether they were EWI.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Marriage After Removal
When was the removal ordered against her? Be aware that USCIS looks at any marriage AFTER removal proceedings have been initiated as a sham marriage solely entered into to gain immigration benefits. I'm not what your timelines are exactly, but be warned that you're in for an uphill battle. You will need a competent immigration attorney and a lot of $ to fight this case.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Marriage After Removal
False claim of USC is a lifetime ban with no waiver.

Besides, ignoring the removal orders don't show her in a good light.

Start thinking about life in Bulgaria or another third coutry.

Good luck!

You should be subject to the 10 year ban due to your 3 year overstay and the fact that you were out of status for 3 years prior to your visa expiring as you violated your F-1 status.

I could be wrong though since F-1s are technically governed by their D/S I-94. Someone else will come along shortly.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)NEED INFORMATION FOR OVERSTAYMENT AND WAIVER. PLEASE, HELP...
She is subject to a ten year ban because of her overstay.

You mentioned a 'misstatement' on a previous visa -- has she been formally accused of material misrepresentation? If yes, you NEED a lawyer.

Even if you marry her and file for a CR-1, she will still be ineligible to enter the U.S. due to her overstay.

You need to look into the waiver process and see if you can prove sufficient hardship.

Your only option is to file for the IR-1. You will be denied at the interview because of your ban. Your USC husband can then file a hardship waiver.

Using a fake visa is material misrepresentation, illegal and fraud. You surely cannot be surprised by your life-time ban from the USA.

AP will take as long as it will take. As your grandmother has no immediate relation to your husband, I doubt it will speed up anything. Of course, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Sorry to hear about your family troubles. Hope everything works out soon!

The fact that you have been living with him in the DR will actually be a negative factor in your hardship waiver. It shows that there really is no hardship on you to move to the DR.

Hardship waivers are not something to be tackled lightly. Time to lawyer up!

If you ever plan to step foot inside the US, you should hire a competent attorney to fight the misrepresentation charge as it is a serious offence and carries a heavy ban.
