Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)canadian waivers
I received a waiver application at Montreal for an I-601 and also got a 212a, but haven't filed, instead I sent a copy of everything I had to the director of DHS/USCIS in Washington for an honest opinion of the facts as the reasoning for the waiver in Montreal was tainted by a COs noting in my file her impressions which were wrong. Hoping to hear from DC soon.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-601 processing time
Here in Canada I receinved a I-601 and was told 12 month but called later for information and was then told 12 to 18 months, regardless of the time it has tobe done so no need to worry just wait.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Back in the game
Thank you Laura and Nick and thank you Trailmix, I hope all of you are moving forward steadily and constantly through the process.
I have really never left since I have been here every weekday. I just decided that I was to wrapped up in what happened to continue posting in a positive way, you folks have enough to deal with without me bit-ching and complaining day in and day out. It was tiring and boring and I even got tired of me and what I was turning into. The tide has turned as they say and we are over the rougher parts now and ready again for what the consulate tosses our way. Sharon and I have always considered ourselves married and that is how we live our lives even at this distance from each other.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Back in the game
Now that the shock of the initial setback has worn off and most of the other issues have been dealt with we are to be back on track. The I-601 is being sent today; we needed the cooling down period and hopefully by now the waiting period will not be as I was told months ago. For those wondering if the issues came up between Sharon and I the answer is no the issues were beyond our control but now well within our control.
The 2.8 lb package that was sent directly to Dr. Emilio Gonzales' office seeking their assistance and clarification had been received and signed for many months ago but never replied to. Obviously not a very client oriented group at the top which now gives the reasoning of the way those in the dungeon are working, they have no direction from above.
A letter sent to the USCIS Ombudsman was replied to within a very short period but wasn't of much help as expected since they saw my issue as a legal problem and not within their realm.
Sharon and I are doing well and we are as always together loving each other as best we can with our daily phone calls.


P.S. I still don't drink, they haven't driven me to that point nor will they.

Stephanie, I hope others are right and you are no more than 5 weeks away from having your family all together in one place. Being away from your husband and your daughter has to be the most painful experience to go through, what Sharon and I are going through is nothing compared to being separated from spouse and child. I am sure that your husband is very anxious to see you and his son. I am glad that very soon all of you will be together even if it is a visit before the waiver process is completed. I'm sure that your daughter will be quite surprised to see her new brother and her mother again.

Everything happen for a reason and not before it is supposed to happen so right now we are waiting for our results but for us this is the last hoop we are jumping through if there is another one before they can make a decision we will go with plan B and Sharon will move here since her mother has given up on living since Sharon's father passed, Sharon was told that her mother if she continues as she is now may be gone in just a few months.
I hope you and your family have a good visit and the time remaining before you are together is very short.

Thank you so much Ron and Sharon. I wrote the consulat in Frankfurst an email ...they are usually very fast to reply. How is your process going? Why did you have to file a 601 waiver. Any tips? Our laywer just finished our waiver package and my husband is bringing it next week. He is coming to visit with our daughter.
Hope you dont have to wait much longer...good luck

Stephanie


Have you been given a time line as to how long it will take for your waiver to be processed? I do hope you all have a wonderful time together, I know how awful being apart can be.
The amount I gave you shouldn't change so much that it would be bothersome to you. As for a tip all I will say is don't concentrate on the waiver, keep your thoughts on your relationship and family and keep strong. The waiver process is a very strong energy sucker and needs to be kept in check.

We took a 5 month break after the interview, it was disheartening and I needed the time to get the anger out of my system and collect my thoughts so the waiver process was done correctly and we also had Sharon's fathers hospitalization and subsequent passing to deal with.
I have a criminal conviction dating back to 1976, nothing serious but still a conviction, which may have passed had the interviewer not noted in my file that she could smell alcohol on my breath and thought I was drinking before the meeting, which I beleive was the kicker. Not to bad all in all, 1 conviction in 63 years and sober for the past 23 years. According to the consulate 5 months ago I have 12 to 18 month wait after the papers are submitted for the ajudication to be done in Vermont, I hope it is much less by now.

Take care, and I hop you are together forever very soon

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)IR1 Denied
There may be different waiting times depending on what the waiver is for, I'm not at all sure how it all works. I received a waiver application at my interview and was told then that it would take about 12 months, that was in August 07 and about a week later I called the consulat for information and was then told 12 to 18 month. My waiver is for ciminal and alcohol related issues your is not.
I hope you can get a waiver within 6 month.
Good luck

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)time limit to file I601 waiver?
Not sure if I am reading this right so if wrong please disregard.
When I received my I-601, I was told and it was also noted in the information package that the I-601 needed to be done within 12 months of receipt.
Mine was not for an oversay so there may or may not be different time limits.
If your husband received his I-601 at Montreal he most likely received the forms and an information packet with the infiormation you are seeking.

I hope things go well anmd quickly for you and your husband

Canadians have the worst wait times of all countries for 601 processing and then, frankly, the Montreal Consulate. . .the only one that processes immigrant visas in Canada, gets to have it's way with you too. . .

a year or more in processing and then months for Montreal to acknowledge that anything has changed. . .with plenty of opportunities for them to treat ya like $hi+ in the meantime ClockWatch2.gif

That is why Sharon and I are preparing for her immigration to Canada. Totally fed up with the US BSing hoop jumping.

Now we have decissions to make, will it Canada or the States?

At 10:02 yesterday morning we recieved an e-mail notification that our visa has been approved.

Thought I would let you know it took 10 months and 9 days not the 12 to 18 months we were told.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)The games they play
One can only wonder what goes on. How is it possible to have a touch and then have none exist as if it had never happened? At this very moment Sharon is packing and will be leaving before the end of the month. Better and happier times are ahead. This for us has never been about where, but where we were needed most by family. That where is no longer the concern it was so now we can concentrate on ourselves as we have been doing since the beginning.

We will be married long before Vermont says yea or nay to our waiver which is fine by us.

My personal greatest pleasure will be to reply to any and all correspondence from Montreal or Vermont with a few very few well chosen words.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)The games they play
9 Months and 9 days watching every day for a touch on our waiver application and nothing happened, we remained at (04-09-2008), on the 9th month and 10th day at 4:00 p.m. an update appears (touch) (11-18-2008). Then to my surprise less than two hours later the (11-18-2009) disappears (and guess what (04-09-2008). If we were totally dependent on USCIS we would be heartbroken but that ain't happinen, Our alternative is working just fine for us.
Sure hope others here have better news regarding their Waivers and dealing with the government when it gets back to work on Wednesday.

Happy Martin Luther King Day.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)February 17th recieved e-mail - february 23rd recieved letter
File: A********
Application: Waiver of excludability under the Immigration and Nationality Act pursuant to Section 212(h).
The applicant has been found to be inadmissible under the following paragraphs of the Act: 212(a)(2)(A)
Date and Country of Birth: Canada
Nationality: Canada
The specific offense and or conduct upon which inadmissibility is based: The applicant was deemed inadmissible pursuant to 212(A)(2)(A). He was convicted of the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle without consent of the owner on September 24, 1976
The applicant's inadmissibility will result in extreme/serious hardship to the named relative because: Extreme hardship not needed as this crime is not a CIMT. Even if the conviction were a CIMT the crime occurred over 15 years ago and thus is approvable as long as the immigrant does not pose a risk to national security and can show rehabilitation.
Reformation and rehabilitation of the applicant is evidenced by:
The applicant has not been convicted of any other crimes. British Columbia granted him a pardon on November 6, 1992. All criminal reports from locations of residence show no other criminal activities. The applicant does not appear to be a threat to National Security.
It is found that the applicant is statutorily eligible for the relief sought and that the admission of the applicant to the United States would not be contrary to the national welfare, safety or security. Accordingly, on the basis of all of the forgoing and in the exercise of discretion, the applicant(s) will be granted.
ORDER: It is ordered that the application(s) for waiver of inadmissibility under the Immigration and Nationality Act be, and hereby is (are) granted pursuant to section 212(h).

P.S. A hardship letter was not sent with the waiver application, a 4 paragraph letter was; explaining the reason for the conviction, 1) I pled guilty to save time by not returning to court for a trial and save my friend the trouble with his insurance company after the accident the vehicle was involved in. He had loaned me the vehicle, also to write about 2) our past Sharon's and mine 3) our present with death in the family and our own illnesses and 4) our dreams of a future together with the time we have left due to our ages.

P.S.S. One thing is, it seems that convictions have an expiry date of 15 years, my conviction was over 30 years ago. There is no mention of my 221(g) maybe they're installing a breathalyzer for my next interview.
I hope someone can find something else here that is helpful to them.
I hope everyone that read this and those that don't; get a letter like this one, everyone deserves one, some more than others.

A grand total of 9 days from the e-mail to getting the packet, I hope this e-mail to packet timeline is encouraging for you.
They have requested the following: A new medical, RCMP report, An affidavit of Support, A statement of willingness to marry and the passport.
Good luck to everyone going through the waiver process.

A slight change is necessary: I in fact applied sent the waiver at Montreal at the beginning of February 2008, they sent it to Vermont in the 2nd week of April so the complete process took a few weeks past the 12 month mark, which is well within their 10 to18 month statement.

As we all know,the counsalates have a problem answering phone calls.They are better at answering e-mails but haven't answered mine yet.


1. Go to the USCIS Home Page
2. Go to right column and Case Status on Line
3. go to Register
4. Go to centre column and to register as an applicant click here
5. Accept the Terms and Conditions
6. Fill in the form and submit
7, Follow with the rest of the requests.

I doubt very much that you will get updates, we didn't, just the approval e-mail at the very end of the process. But who knows it have worked differently for others.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)trying to find out waiver status or how long it takes
You will get a Notice Of Action (NOA) and the EAC number can be use for tracking but it is totally useless since updates are not available for (I-601 and/or I-????, the only time you will get an update is when they are done and you are sent a notice of their findings. Our waiver was sent in February 2008 and the approval e-mail was received from CRIS on February 17, 2009, on February 23, 2009 the approval letter was received from Vermont then on February 23, 2009 the packet received from Montreal
Even though the visa was denied on 2007-08-09 it took until February 2008 to mail due to many issues that needed attention.
And now 5 months later everything is done and sent to Montreal, it is again sit and wait time
p.s. asking Montreal about your I-601 will do you no good

Thank you Mary, in my csae the CIMT wasn't a CIMT after all and the 601 was in effect a useless exercise which just won't go away. I hope you and your husband are through or close to being through with everything USCIS.

The following is from Laura Scott in reply to someone else.

Laurel: I see this happen a lot - the consular officer tells the applicant to fill out the DS-221, Two-Way Visa Action form. It appears to me that this form is intended to be an internal document to be completed by the consular officer. For one thing, one of the questions is whether an approval is recommended. For another, its not available online except in poor quality copy in the Foreign Affairs Manual. Whenever I see a consular officer asking the applicant to fill that out (DS-221), its a Red Flag to me that the consular officer doesn't know how to accept and process an I-601.

I don't think it's going to be a problem Ron. We're always here hoping and praying along with you two! Please keep us up to date on your visa journey. We want to dedicate a thread to you when you hear the good news! rose.gif Love to Sharon, tell her we're thinking of her!


It was just something I was concerned about because I don’t think they can see anything else that would help them in any way to prolong this process.

I will tell Sharon, she will be happy and will also say thank you
Thank you Carla

I know a 75 year old guy that recently brought in a 24 year old filipina!
He just had to show he had a adequate supply of Viagra to keep the lady happy!

First sentence is the truth. He does have a "pecker pump". Truth also.

good.gif You wouldn't be 75 would you?
I went for someone my age, no viagra or pump.

I doubt if I'll make 75 the way I live. No need anything YET!

I hope we both make it past 75 with the loves of our lives, hope to be out the Consulate before I reach tat age.

The filing of the I-864 will go well; it was the 10 following years I was concerned about.
Our combined pensions will carry us through comfortably, but I doubt they take mine into consideration since that question never surfaced.

Len
Thank you, there isn't a day that I don't think of those who still here supporting others and the one's that were here but have moved one to bigger and better.

Ron


Once tha affidavit of support is accepted when approved for a greencard you do not have to prove you still meet the 125% again. Even when removing conditions you do not need to show earnings at 125% or over.

We have been through the beginning process, through an I-601, sent all document requested and waited for the yea or nay when I recieved a DS-221 which to me means they are having a problem and all my mind could think of was aging out.
Once we get out of Montreal we will relax but not before then.

What are the chances of being denied, I-601 was approved, the doctor said I was good to go and I am presently in AR in Vermont and I don’t know why, but my question is regarding the Affidavit of Support and our being over 65 years old. Would they take our age into consideration since Sharon would be over 75 before the Affidavit of Support timed out. Would they deny the visa on the grounds that Sharon will most likely not earn the 125% required,
