March 2014 I-601 Filers

[commandergirl1 12]

You may get RFE for a copy of disposition . but think positive

this was over 15 yrs ago, did U address the matter?

Yes it was 17 years ago. I did mention this in the letter and said since then my husband has raised 4 successful adults. My husband did have a non-immigrant waiver to come visit the US prior to marring me I hope this helps. I also included all my bills expenses I have here in the US and a copy of the title to my mobile home and the lot rent agreement with mine and my husbands name on it. We own a mobile home in Florida which is a vacation home. By the way there was a March 12 approval today.

That would be awesome I'm hoping for the same, I can't wait for them to get to march!!!!

March 12 approval today on FB page I-601 waiver page

My husbands interview is May 21 in Montreal. I am pretty sure he will be denied "criminal record" Nothing major but he had a I-194 before so I am assuming they are going to deny him for the Visa. If I send the I-601 right away you are saying 5 months till approval?

Lately there have been many approvals in the 3-4 month range, ours was, I submitted late Feb and approved June 12. A few people do wait very very long times...I know one person who just got approved after 18 months....another person is 10-11 months sill waiting...

HOWEVER....the majority of the cases NOW are getting approved in 3-5 months.

Last year the wait times for everyone were much longer....averaging 6+ months in most cases...

It could change again according to the legal experts...they dont expect 3-4 month processing forever..but that is what is has been for Dec, Jan, Feb filers...

Did you send it yet?

Good luck to you.

Don't believe some of the negativity you hear on other forums....if you present an excellent, (well written and god evidence) waiver, it will get approved.

Yes I have seen at least 1 March approval that was not an expedite....many Feb filers are approved...mine and the case numbers all around mine are mostly approved.

Sadly there are always cases that take much longer....I feel terrible for those waiting since last year...Good luck to everyone. Don't believe too much negativity you find on the internet and be positive.

I-601 Waiver

Receipt Date 12/31/2013

No word yet, the wait is becoming insanely horrible. I am going in and out of depression. Life is really on hold. I pray you are right and I too can be a part of the quick approval.

What did you need waiver for? Did you have a I-194 waiver before?

Look at it as a positive. At least they are looking at your file !!!! It might be something very small and easily addressed. GOOD LUCK !

[KmOm0629 2]

No worries, you got this, RFE could be something as small as a signature... Don't worry the quicker you get the instructions the faster you should get the approval...I have seen 2 week turnarounds on the RFE, people getting approved very quick like..good luck.!

Logged into CEAC yesterday and date updated to July 10,2014. This is the first update since May 29,2014. But my Question is why did they add 01 to the end of our case number? MTLXXXXXXXXXX MTL 01????

[Michell 3]

Still waiting, Just FYI update, in other groups I am in the I-601, there is has been several November Approvals, A December approval, without and Expidite...In addition, to Thursday of Last week, I saw a January approval, request for expidite on that case, but there was no exact approval...That ever went to the client....

In addition to this Info, I spoke at an immigration symposium on Friday April 25th, where I learned that USCIS is picking up the pace internally, for Citizen related cases, because of the huge back log, I have also Contacted the CEO of Nebraska Service Center, she did respond, and stated that they are working on getting the cases out, its been about 3 weeks since I recieved her response, she said they were working October...In my other group areas all October people have been approved, (only not including if you have had and RFE or some that have prior criminal history, those seem to be taking much longer.) The actual 6-8 months...Otherwise looks like a pretty good 5 month lapse...So keep your heads up people..I will keep posting, all this is found under my research itself...USCIS still hasnt updated thier I-601 status, so I would not read that, there is no way they are on the same date they were last month, at this time last year I-601 were takeing 3-5 months tops.

Thank you for the information. 3-5 months sounds better than 6-8 months. I just recently filed for my husbands waiver and have a received date of Jun 05. It's been barely 1 month but feels like a year already.

He also only needed a 601 waiver. No 212.
