CONFUSING SITUATION I-601

[esmi 0]

i am really confused.

I am an american citizen married to a pakistani and have 4 children(all american citizens)

my husband is a pakistani and due to his visa being expired we moved to pakistan, before they can deport him(he voluntarly left the country). we lived in pakistan for 10 years going on 11 in july. the only crime my husband has ever been convicted of was 2 misdemeanour's. we started our immigration case about 3-4 years ago. every thing has been approved except when my husband went to his interveiw in islamabad on march 18 2010, he was denied. now we filled the waiver I-601 on AUGUST-23-2010.AFTER FILLING IT TO THE ISLAMABAD EMBASSY WE WERE TOLD IT WAS SENT TO NEW DEHLI AND WE DIDNT HEAR ANY THING AFTER THAT FROM EITHER OF THE EMBASSYS.

MY QUESTION IS ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HEAR SOME THING,LIKE SAYING THEY RECEIVED OUR WAIVER OR SOMETHING

AND NOW IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS FROM THE RECEIPT DATE

HOW LONG WOULD A CASE LIKE THIS TAKE

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Sadly, I601 cases can take up to a year. I'm sorry.

Have you tried contacting your senator or congressman back in the US?

Good luck

YOU need to E-mail new delhi ASAP CIS.NDI@dhs.gov they are really nice and respond fast, there are people who filed theyre waivers in September 2010 n already gotten theyre approvals so that means you should be getting a decision very soon too the processing time 4-6 months. just e-mail them to find out what is the status on your case. I'm in the same boat. so if you have any questions please ask. go to WWW.immigrate2us.net its a very helpful website. there are a lot of people who are going thru the same process.
