Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-601 waiver Ground of Inadmissibility

I sometimes don't understand why USCIS in Nebraska are so slow to response or result for my case as still pending pass amount of the time now 6 month .. how soon will they result with my case ( Mexico ) for I-601 waiver ? Can u anyone have to  share with me about who did finally received result from USCIS more 6 month or little more than few weeks later ?  
 
Thanks ! Hope to hear from this as asap .. 



Hey there faith...
Hang in there. You will get a response soon...they are taking longer times now more or less 6-8 to adjucate the waivers. Please do register online so you can check your Lin number and get notified. The Internet will be your best friend going forward along with Dhl...get your passport renewed as they don't take passports that will expire within 6 months. So make sure you get a new one.

Most likely they will approved them together unless there is an issue with the i212.

Thank you guys. We are just waiting to see when it's gonna be delivered to cargo express. My husband won't be coming till the last part of October. He is a teacher and if he doesn't work the entire month they don't pay him. So I'm kind of bummed about that. But work is work not matter where it's at.

Good morning guys so i called dos today again...i had my doubts about what the ftp told me on Monday about my husband's ceac update on the 20th. Well the guy that answered today told me that he could see that they were reviewing the case on that day and that's why the lady told me about the dhs/dos approval. I'm feeling more relaxed i know it might take a couple more weeks hopefully days but I'm content it's a good sign overall
I hope we can get some good news for us in this forum

Oh no winky this sucks...hopefully it's just a mistake...do you know if your husband came out fine in his tests? Have you checked ustraveldocs for any updates on the medical needing to be renewed? He would have to the the Paper stating that he needs to renew the medical...

Yes loroko you need to get an attorney. My husband required two waivers and thankfully our attorney did a good job. Without him I don't know if I would have done a good job getting the package together. Our waivers were organized package of about 200 pages including letters of recommendations, pictures, my hardships, etc. so it's a pretty big task to take up. I've heard of families that have done it without an attorney

No more updates for my hubby since Friday :( that's good that your hubby's getting case updates in a row. That's a good sign. Smooth likely he is getting his visa worked on.

Not in ap it says "Refused". Has always said refused. The dos said you are in administrative review just waiting for the consular officer to process your visa. But not ap. I'm thinking it might still be ap but just the one that is for waiting for the docs. Winky, How cool that there is an update. Did you call dos?

Hi there. So I called the dos to ask about the latest update on ceac. They told me that they received the approval from dos. The rep said the update we see is a dos approval. She didn't know what exactly it meant. She did tell me that I would need to contact the embassy in El Salvador to inquire about it. She told me that she doesn't understand why it's taken them so long to issue a visa. She did say it might be an approval to assemble his package. I really hope so. I'm back to square one as I don't know what that means. She stated that everything is good to go. He isn't in ap which is good. Anyone with any other info?

Awwww guys I didn't get a chance to call dos today. I just got off work and they are closed. Been so busy at work. I'm wanting to know what the update means. The date is the only thing that updated but not the status. I called my husband and he was like did you email them again? There's an update on ceac and I was like no. I didn't check ceac till 230pm. Work was hectic and just had freed up some time to check. I'm excited. I hope it's good news.

Hi there all. Ceac updated my hubby's case to today's date. That's a good sign for a change. We didn't contact them or anything. I tried signing in to ustraveldocs but it's not allowing me. Is anyone else having the same issue. I'll call dos and ask them about the status update.

Based on the 212(a)(6)©(i) section you are banned due to "fraud and or misrepresentation". It could very well be a mistake on their part. Lets hope it is.

But I thouht that 221g was my waiver it is all that the CO asked for and he even said to sent documents and wait stating that most cases are resolved with in 2 months..And yes I have emailed them back on the 11th and no replay yet.



Loroko the 221g is not a waiver it is a form that explains to you the additional required docs and or waivers that need to be submitted to the the embassy or uscis. Have you ever been in the status before illegally? If the consular officer didn't mention to you anything about the i601 and i212 waiver then you need to investigate it further.

Yes you can call the 703 number and get someone in Spanish. I think I called that number a month ago and was able to get through. The 202 number is dos and 703 is ustraveldocs. Yes I'll email them tomorrow and will attach the chat as reference. I email the chats to my email all the time.

Oh wow I didn't know. Yes most of the things they say don't make sense. Why would the government do that? I always thought they were in el salvadr. When I've called them seems like they are salvadoran with the accent...weird.
You worked at that call center?

Today I chatted with the reps over the Internet. I asked about my husband's visa status. This is what the rep told me "thank you for your information. Let me inform you that your passport is at the embassy in the process of being delivered to the express cargo agency you selected in our profile". She told me it would take 3-10 days for my hubby to get his passport. I was confused as ceac still shows "refused" and no updates on ustraveldocs. I told her about it. She then apologized and said that the case is still under review. That an officer is reviewing and to expect to get notified any day now. I don't know how much to believe. Has anyone gotten passport and visa issued but not showing up in ceac and/or ustraveldocs ?

I'm hoping it did get issued. I'm holding unto gods hands through this.

J&f.

That's the exact email winky received. Hmmmmm something is not right. Seems that a lot of the verbiage they use is the same. Seems its just a script that they copy and paste. The email I received is in Spanish. I wish I could translate and see idiot might mean the same thing. Although it doesn't ay anything about "proceso administrativo". This is so corrupt. I'm sorry. Keep your head up and not lose hope. That's the last thing you want to lose

That's from congensansal email right?

Yes let's hope all gets approved for us all...I'm getting upset looking at how the system is running things. It is my country and I love it will all my heart but the u.s. has to get the ball rolling. We have all been separated for a very long time. With gods help its lla possible. We just have to be patient. God has it worked out for us.

I forgot to add.

What legally required administrative processing means?



I'm afraid is the long term ap...it seems they are investigating with Washington about your hubby's identity. A lot of the times it has to do with common names, ages and time frames.....I don't want you to get upset but I believe that's what is about. If it would be about processing paperwork that was required they would have mentioned it. Geeesssshhhhh I agree the country needs to do background checks before not after. That way it would give us a better timeframe. Was your hubby told about ap at the interview? I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys and everyone in this chat. It can happen to anyone.
