So my Husband had his waiver appt. on dec 22. but they just told him to turn in the paperwork, his passport, pay the fee and he would get a response in 2-10 wks. They didnt ask him any questions at all and i read on other posts about waivers that they get asked questions. Is there something wrong with that im not sure if it means anything or not. Has anyone had the same experience? Thanx in advance.

No, I have No Experience with this. But, I see 4 Positives from your Post.

1. Did not reject the Application

2. Took the Paperwork

3. Took his Passport

4. Pay the Fees (Whatever that maybe)

It looks good from a standpoint. It will depend on what the Waiver is for. You will know soon.

As it currently stands you have completed standard procedure of the waiver process. They take the application/waiver packet, your spouse pays the $585 waiver fee , and you leave the passport with them (so that when they do approve the visa time isn't wasted trying to get it to them for visa printing) I will tell you not to count on the 2-10 week notification period, not that it is not possible but, my husband had his interview on 10/22 & was told we would hear a response in 1 month and it has now been 2 months and still when we check online and call they say its still under review. When he (my husband) submitted his paperwork they did ask him many of the same questions as in the initial interview, I'm guessing that that practice is based on the IO he's talking to, the IO your spouse was working with may just not have felt it necessary to ask all of the same questions again, and just let your waiver packet stand alone. I wouldn't read much into the lack of questioning. Good Luck with everything!

First of all let me start by expressing how jealous I am that you have a waybill # already... Now that that is over, I would copy/paste the waybill # over to the dhl website and see what info they have on your package. Also, you could have your husband call or go to the office where it should be delivered. From my understanding/experience things are very very very unorganized in Mex and sometimes the only way to get things done is to show up in person. Good Luck!

I will be filing for a CR-1 for my future husband (mexican citizen) soon after we get married. He will need a waiver as his tourist visa was taken away at POE and was found inadmissable pursuant to section 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I).

I was just curious as to why your spouse needed waivers? I'm just nervous about this entire waiver process. Did they tell your spouse he/she was eligible for a waiver at the interview or do you know before hand?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
