You don't file a waiver first. Because of your overstay your visa will be refused at your Embassy interview and it is then you need to file your waiver.

Hello! As mentioned before, you will have to file for the visa first, you will be denied at your interview due to your illegal presence in the US, and then you will be required to file an I-601 waiver. Your SO will need to prepare a hardship letter showing why it would be a hardship for him to relocate to your country and why it would be a hardship for him to remain in the US without you. Usually waivers take 6 - 12 months to adjudicate, so be prepared for a long road ahead. Good luck!!!

After the I-601 is approved you will have to resubmit some parts of the application at their request, but after those documents are submitted you would be granted the visa.

There is a special section dedicated to the I-601 waiver on www.immigrate2us.net. It gives examples of the Hardship Packet and letter that you will need to submit. It would be a good idea to look around over there too.
