It sounds to me like he's more than eligible for the exception so I would go down that path if I were you, and i don't think it requires the filing of an i-601, just an appeal citing that rule.

Thanks for the support. that is what my lawyer said as well and he contacted the embassy today. Just waiting to hear back now. CROSSING OUR FINGERS!

I can't imagine this not working. I love my fiance so much and hope we don't have to do long distance any longer. this process is already long enough!

I don't have anything useful to say except offer you a virtual hug {{{{}}} and say how sad i am for you

Thank you! Every little support helps. Just send good vibes to the sydney embassy this week!
