Waiting for I-601 Waivers in London US Embassy

[Traci - Andrew 14]

Hi Everyone, I am a slow off the mark this time round and have managed to update you almost the same day, (I am doing this just after midnight UK time).

Today Monday 4th October 2010 the I-601 Waiver Status PDF File was Updated

It has been 6 days since the last update and 1 day before that one, but this time it has been worth waiting for as they have given us a bumper update today, maybe all the adjudicators are back off holiday now and are concentrating on trying to catch up with the backlog from their vacations in August & September?

So anyway the highlights of todays update are:

2 UK based cases were added to the "Pending" pile this time around!!

LND2009 863 024 - LND2009 328 005

2 cases have changed status to Under Review from Pending

LND2009 319 001 - LND2009 844 001

7 cases were completed.

LND2008 595 001 - LND2009 563 019 - LND2009 577 023 - LND2008 343 002 - LND2008 706 006 - LND2009 596 004 - LND2009 597 023

This was a fairly prompt update, however it was still long overdue considering the last 2 updates only contained a few additions to the waiting list but as there was 11 new changes made on this update I think we should forgive them this time around.

Remember If your case number is above as a new case and you are on Visa Journey or immigrate2us, then please let me know your Case number and I will add VJ User or I2US User and your Initials to the Spreadsheet.

The current USCIS average completed cases per week figure is back up from 1.2 to 1.4 this update.

As usual you can see these changes in my updated spreadsheet here > I-601 Status Update Spreadsheet 4th October 2010

Wishing you all the best for the next update..

Take care all..

Hi Everyone,

I am a slow off the mark this time round due to internet connectivity issues, (I am updating this just after 1 AM UK time).

The I-601 File was updated by USCIS on Thursday 4th November 2010

It has been an amazing 27 days since the last update which is a new record, as this is the longest time between updates so far since I have been recording them for over a year now.

So the highlights of todays update are:

5 New UK & Irish based cases were added to the "Pending" pile this time around!!

DBL2010 632 003 - LND2008 534 015 - LND2008 685 009 - LND2008 731 008 - LND2010 617 007

No cases have changed status to Under Review from Pending

No cases were completed.

This was a long overdue update, I have no idea why they have taken so long this time around to release this update without actually doing any work, after all they have only added a few cases to the Pending pile but not moved any to Under Review and have also not completed any?

Remember If your case number is above as a new case and you are on Visa Journey or immigrate2us, then please let me know your Case number and I will add VJ User or I2US User and your Initials to the Spreadsheet.

The current USCIS average number of completed cases per week figure is down again from 1.4 to 1.3 this update.

As usual you can see these changes in my updated spreadsheet here > I-601 Status Update Spreadsheet 4th November 2010

Wishing you all the best for the next update..

Take care all..

I wish to thank everyone that joined in on our thread, I hope the updates have been of some help to you all.

However now that I have obtained my CR1 Visa and have relocated to the USA (Social Security card was issued 2 weeks after arrival & Green card arrived after 3 weeks), I have so much to do in terms of getting a job, moving over financial & personal items, getting ready for christmas, sending out presents, looking for a house to buy etc etc... This leaves me without any time to be able to keep my spreadsheet up to date, therefore it is best that I stop trying to update it from now on, as I know that some people rely on my spreadsheet more than the USCIS website and unless someone else would like to take over the updating work, then this will be the last post I will make on this thread, I will still manage to keep in touch with those of you that have sent me personal messages though.

If someone is willing to spend the time and do the updates to the spreadsheet, i am willing to train them and still host the spreadsheet file.

Take care everyone

Regards

Hi Carl

Thanks for the message....

I am here in the USA, I moved over to Hawaii to be with my wife in November 10th, it was a bit of a hassle going through my point of entry, I had to explain to the officer that I was entitled to a 10 year IR1 Visa/Green card and not not what she was doing the paperwork for which was an CR1 (2 year visa/greencard). Of course she did not like me telling her, her job, but she did relent after she verified this with her supervisor that being married 2 years prior to entry qualified me to a IR1 visa.

After this things have gone a lot smoother, I received my Social Security card after 2 weeks and my impressive looking Green Card after 3 weeks, I have a mobile phone and a car, now I am looking for a job, which is harder than I first expected as most of the I.T work on Oahu, Hawaii is linked to the military and to get employed you have to have secret clearence, which you can only get if you are a US citizen..

So I am reduced down to the lower end of the I.T market and have sent out several resumes but only one interview so far.

I hope I will be employed by the new year.

Anyway Congratulations to you, well done for getting approved. I hope all goeswell with you, keep in touch.

Have a happy Christmas and a fantastic new year.

Regards

Andrew

Dear Andrew and Tracy: I have been following your thread since July 2010. I want you to know how important your spreadsheet was to me. It gave me some sense of order. This process is enough to drive a sane person to the looney bin! I am delighted that your "Visa Journey" is over unfortunately I'm still in the looney bin. I would love to be the one to take over updating the 601 spreadsheet, but I just figured out how to email you. So what are the chances I would be able to handle the Holy Grail of spread sheets. Again Congratulations on your approval into the USA Happy New year and a sincere Thank you Michele

Hi Michele

I would be so glad for someone else to take up the task of updating, I am sorry to hear that you are still waiting, it is a waiting game but it is worth it in the end.

Please email me on andymcj@gmail.com and send me your contact details, either email or telephone and I will contact you and teach you what to do. If you have any Excel skills it will help, but it is not rocket science.

I can send you links to software or even remote control your PC to set it up for you.

Take care and have a happy new year.

Regards

Andrew
