Embassy completed 601 case, but haven't received notification of the outcome

[filing601 0]

Wondering if anyone can help. The US Embassy in London has "completed" our 601 waiver application case as of April 3rd, but neither I or my husband have received anything in the mail to notify us of their decision. It has been over 1.5 weeks since they have made a decision, and the mail from London to Belfast is not typically that slow. Does anyone have any advice on where to go to get the decision? The US Embassy in London is basically impossible to contact. Please help!

I have heard on another forum that london can take up to 2wks to send "the notice". I have seen posts of others who got it in a week, but they were denied, so maybe a good sign for you?! How long have you been waiting for them to process it?

I hope that this is good news for you, sure it is.

Quick question - How do you know that the waiver has been completed. Is there somewhere on line we can check that, or a different way? My wife and I are waiting for I-601 processing in Frankfurt.

Thanks

The status of an I601 filed through london can be checked on the embassy's website. I don't think Frankfurt has this feature. It can take up to 6 months for waivers to be processed. Good luck to you!

You may want to start by joining immigrate2us.net

It's a forum geared toward waiver filing...lots of good tips on hardship letters and what to include for evidence. You can also get attorney recommendations if you are looking to hire an immigration lawyer. The I-601 is a big undertaking if you decide to prepare it yourself. Lawyers usually charge $6000-$10,000 to do it for you. Proving extreme hardship to the USC is key, but so is proving rehabilitation of the intending immigrant (under certain grounds of inadmissibility). I would be happy to give you some tips but first research the forum I suggested and if you need help just ask.
