The cost for filing the I-690 is $95. My wife had to file one....$95.

I just checked the website......$95.

So, I have no idea who told you $265.

Fill it on-line, download it from the USCIS site and file it....$95.

Good luck.

Some people tend to over-exaggerate things and/or situations in order to make them bigger/worse than what they truly are.

The OP should've done her research on waiver pricing BEFORE coming here to bash the 'CIS.

I'm sorry, the forms we needed to send in are I-601, not I- 690, and they are $265. You're right, yours are $95. The name of the form is similar, and when I went on the site to check the number, I got it wrong. The officer in Spokane handed us the forms, crossed out $195, and wrote in $265.

grateful,

Did you discuss this concern with a Civil Surgeon to see if a 'medically inappropriate' determination was called for when filling out the Vaccination Supplement for the other children?

...

An older daughter had an adverse reaction to the immunizations, that is why we chose not to have the rest done. I think most people would be careful after experiencing that. See www.thinktwice.com .

Yes I discussed this with both the Canadian and US surgeons, but they weren't interested. I asked them for waivers, and they led me to believe it was all taken care of by checking the box on the bottom of their forms. Perhaps they didn't know I needed those forms, either. Like I said, it's a rare need, and it must be hard for them to keep up with everything.

I don't think she's exaggerating at all, having to pay $265 each for 4 people is a lot of money! :o

I don't know what is your problem but it seems like you're incapable of compassion.

A 601 has nothing to do with vacinations....someone is giving you bad info....you had better check it out.

A 601 is a totally different forum for a totally different purpose.

I finally got rid of the never ending money drain. I called the plumber, and got the problem fixed. I wish her the best.

Hmmm. Not true. I-601 is a waiver for excludability, and covers vaccinations.

....and so does a 690..............

Unfortunately, she has no other options but to pay or not, plain and simple.

For anyone interested, the children's AOS was approved May 3/06.

We received the three letters in the mail, and they stated that if you were not approved at the interview, you had to go back to the office and get a stamp in your passport, or your temporary green card. I did not get a stamp in my passport, and the green card arrived in the mail 9 days later.My husband thinks that the children were "approved pending the waivers" and so we should just wait for the green cards to arrive in the mail. I'm not sure. Has anyone else had a similar experience where they needed one more paper? We have already made 4 trips to Spokane, and don't really want to have to go for nothing.
