"Uk" Waiver club 601/212, List for uk waivers sign up!

[Angela 1]

Thanks. I've had my I-130 approved and been to the Embassy twice already for interviews. The Consular Officer told me not to trust the hardship statements to a lawyer, but I am hoping to find one that has some experience with getting a waiver through the Embassy in London. I have no idea what constitutes extreme hardship.

This Extreme Hardship outline is directly from the London Embassy website:

This is an very helpful guide produced by attorney Laurel Scott:

Angela we filed through Stockholm as well. There was no mention about a remorse letter or anything by the foreign citizen. I chose to write a brief detailing all the hardship information complete with documentation (ended up being about 20 pages), I wrote a letter (about two pages) and he wrote a letter (about three pages). The brief was huge but that was our situation. It was complex. We did not use a lawyer and he had multiple convictions. The cheapest lawyer wanted about $1500 to do the waiver. I even had one tell me I was better off doing it myself. I think it is up to you if you want to include a remorse letter but I think it's a good idea.

Hi Misty,

I remember your case I was on the forums everyday watching what was going on, from the change in adjudication site (Copenhagen to London) to your approval. (I never posted since I was so far from beginning the process due to waiting for my husband's appeals trial)

I didn't think to get him to write a letter, but if they want one, we'll send it. London replied this week to my email inquiry about our case saying they were about to begin working on it. They are reviewing both the I-130 and the I-601. I'll post if they RFE me for a letter from my hubby.

Hi Nigel. Hi everybody. I'm expecting to file a waiver in Dublin soon.

One question - why do Dublin waivers go to London? Why can't they just adjudicate them right there in Dublin?

Hi,

Im not sure mate....ive been out of touch a while

maybe somebody else can answer that for you..

There are no adjudicators in Dublin. The waivers go to the sub office in London. London is the main adjudicator for the Nordic countries, Denmark, Ireland, and the UK.
