Getting Really Nervous

[JustJ 0]

I'm oh-so-nervous, and I keep trying to reality check myself.

We're dealing with a 28-yr old CIMT (stolen cigarettes - larceny).

Visited 8x on the VWP.

I'm expecting a denial, and we've prepared the waiver & supporting documents, but in my heart, I'm secretly praying for a miracle.

Somebody knock me back to reality, would ya?

Thanks, Miss K. We can pop corn. heeheheheee

Actually, his interview will be at about 8:15 a.m. EST. So I'll have to go to work and wait for a phone call.

My mind is so darned cruel. I know not to expect that miracle approval, and yet, my heart just hopes and prays, no matter how much I chastise myself.

i am a strong believer of miracle too,, but i have a question for you when showing up with the waive will it be granted right away or you still have to wait for that ,,, i want to including my prayer in this!

Thanks, everybody.

If he has to hand in the waiver, it will go to London, which has a long adjudication time. I understand that Dublin can make a recommendation as far as approval, but the ultimate decision, I believe, rests in London.

So, if a waiver is needed, we're back to waiting. Some are seeing results in 3-4 months, but I'd say 6-9 is more likely.

JustJ - did the crime come up on the police certificate? When he visited on the VWP did he mention the convictions anywhere?

Actually, London is one of the fastest 601 processors out there. . . 3 months has been close to the norm for a while. . . .be glad you don't have to process through Canada, or New Delhi, or Brazil or any number of other places. . . .the only one faster seems to be Mexico if you get approved on site. . .

Yeah, it was on the PCC, but even if it wasn't, we would have been required to list it. We listed each crime he's ever been convicted of, which included a bunch of assaults from his youth that didn't show up on the PCC. Our biggest problem is the 28 yr old CIMT (stole cigarettes, which is larceny). He got a 6 months suspended sentence.

The second problem is that he checked "no" on the landing card when he visited me on the VWP. He completely mis-read the long sentence regarding crimes and thought he was honestly answering when he checked "no." To tell you the truth, I've read the danged thing countless times and it's still hard for me to understand. He hasn't been back since learning that he's ineligible for travel under the VWP. Damage is done, though, and we're both sick about it.

All I can hope for now is that the officer who reads our situation judges us with mercy & reason.

You're right, I should be grateful. I feel so bad for the Canadians who have to wait forever.

you think so? Nah, I think we'll get denied, hand in a waiver, and wait. I seriously can NOT move to Ireland, so I pray to God for mercy. I hope you soon have some resolution of your situation, Wellmux.

JustJ - stranger things have happened. When I interviewed in Montreal I was there with a man who lived and worked illegally in the US for 3 years and got approved with no issues. Sometimes you get good CO's who understand that we are doing everything we can to be with the person we love. I wish you the best

Good luck.

Wow, that guy must have passed out on the spot. I know I would! What a huge, huge blessing that would be, eh?
