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

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

Ron,

I am so very sorry to hear about your case. This process is very heartbreaking and I cant imagine what you guys must have been through.

I knew from the beginning starting the CR1 process that we had to file a 601 waiver because of my overstay. I was a student in the US on a student visa and then was married in 1995 to my first husband and he never ever filed a petition in my behalf. I travelled back and forth from US to Germany numerous times and never had an issue. Was divorced from my first husband and now I am remarried and we have 2 children.

Our daughter is 31/2 and in the US with my husband because when I came to germany I found out I was pregnant and had to be on bedrest because of the stress. That was no way of living for a toddler. She went home with my husband and I havent seen both in 8 months. I miss them sooooooo much. I gave birth to our son 3 months ago and my husband has not met his son. Now he will.....

My husband during this time also lost his father to prostate cancer 3 weeks ago....his grandfather passed on the day our son was born. Its been a hard hard year.

Frankfurt suppose to be excellent with the waivers. Very fair and fast. They did expedite our case because of my father in laws illness, but too late now. But the consulate has been a pleasure to work with so far.

They told me 60-90 days for the waiver, but people I talked to that filed in Frankfurt averaged 5 weeks.

I wish you guys the best. this is the hardest thing anybody has to go through. I just hope that soon your journey has an end. Be positve. I know it is very hard.

I wish you all the best.

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.

Ron
