If you fell under IMBRA due to having filed for another alien fiancee within two years prior to the filing of the current petition, you file for a waiver and it is denied, what next? Can you file for the second beneficiary again when the two years is up (Which again would put you under IMBRA for 2 or more prior filings)? What if the two years is up is after you filed but before your case is adjudicated?

Are waivers "usually" granted for the filing limitation?

2 or more filings for different aliens... a second filing for the same alien does not count (at least it is not suppose to)

YMMV

Unless there is some other circumstance on your record, second-chance waivers are almost always granted upon filing. You just need to explain briefly why the first petition didn't work out.

So I get confused on the "two per two years" terminology. I filed for one pinay last May, and she ran away with another guy. So if I find new pinay this year, will I still need to request a waiver? It seems the "three per lifetime" language is no different that "Two (petitions) per two years." Am I the only one perplexed by these designations that dont seem to be different in that a waiver must still be requested?

second petition within two years or on the third... there is a difference...

YMMV
