[JmGuil 0]

Hi everybody, I am new to this but not new to the immigration process. what can I do. I am an Haitian citizen recently moved to Dominican Republic due to the earthquake. My Husband and I are now in the NVC process.

we know that we are supposed to file the waiver because I overstayed my visa ,and I heard that it usually takes about 6 months to get a decision but I was wondering if you guys heard anything about it being less than that especially after the earthquake? I am here in DR alone basically and trust me it is not fun. It is going to destroy me getting deny at the visa interview but I know this usually happends like this unless you are from Mexico. I am really not loking forward to stay here for 6 months but again it is better than Haiti right now. Please help Anything at all will be helpful

Thanks Guys. I need a little support please right.

I'm not quite sure what this exact quote means. Mexico processed close to 24,000 waivers of inadmissibility last year. If someone is inadmissible, for whatever reason, they will be denied at the visa interview. If you are found inadmissible bc of your overstay, you will have to file a waiver. I'm not sure how long waivers are taking in your area currently, but I would expect to wait at least 6 months or more after the waiver is turned in.

If you simply overstayed your visa, can I ask why you did not adjust status in country. Generally visa overstay is forgiven with marrige to a US citizen. Were you deported or granted voluntary departure?

I was deported because my previous lawyer was on drugs, literally. She got arrested at the airport on drugs charges and forgot to send a couple of papers of mine (You can see why). My case ended up in deportation and I had to start everything over again. This is a long story but I was banned from the US so filing a waiver is a must.
