I-601 WAIVER UPDATES

[Happyfaces 1]

Yes, that is true. Its probably why NSC is taking longer now to process the forms. I guess we just have to wait.

Yes I believe the majority of not all the I-601 waiver cases go to NSC. I haven't heard anyone speak of their case being anywhere else lately.

The RFE we received is for a new medical since his expired.

That's great. Basically you're approved hey just want that. Thought the embassy needs that not nsc but either way. Great

[LionessDeon 2,060]

Well I'm not sure. Our lawyer is totally confused. We knew he'd need a new medical, he got a one year ban for past use.

Our waiver was for a "smoking ganja" charge in 2005. They didn't say one word about that. All they said is he was found inadmissible for the past use, that no waiver for that is available he just has to wait out the one year and get a new medical. Well ok thanks we knew all about that. What about the charge the embassy insisted we needed a waiver for??? Not one mention of that!

Yep Ken. I think that is exactly what happened. I think he never needed a waiver to begin with, which is what our lawyer tried to tell them last June. That "smoking ganja" isn't a listed offense in USA, only possession, trafficking, or selling. But they insisted we needed one. I think USCIS is basically saying we didn't. Whatever I just hope this gets resolved and he gets his visa issued. Right now trying to get Andrews to schedule a new medical, which of course they are refusing without an interview letter. Nothing is ever easy with immigration or JA.

If the 601 was for marijuana usage. Are you sure it's not for a drug test and not medical test? To should he's no longer using. Just want you to be certain so they dnt use ur lack of understanding what they want against you.

Because I never ask for a medical update. The embassy does that. Mines needed updated. Once approved the embassy told me to bring that in. Have your lawyer make certain. Good luck !!!

I think the RFE letter may work as a reference to repeat exanms! always is a drama! ?

[Jazzy2015 1]

Maybe if he takes a copy of the rfe stating they want a medical they will allow it

Or the pass letter that said he needed to wait out a year then retake the medical. Hopefully one of those work

[LionessDeon 2,060]

I have no clue what's going on. I just can't believe they rattled off the ban and medical and didn't say a word about the charge that the embassy had such an issue with!

He called Andrews and told them he has a letter from USCIS requesting a new medical exam. They won't listen. They're not used to seeing anything but the letter from the consulate. Believe me customer relations in JA is nothing like USA. I've learned that the hard way. Hopefully, the email to the embassy from our lawyer will prompt a letter of some sort.

Is this good new btw? I can't tell lol

[Jazzy2015 1]

The embassies would never admit fault if indeed the waiver wasn't needed. But hopefully your lawyer and them can clear up exactly what's needed now and how to go about it.

Thanks. He's had two tests in 2015 at a private doctor office. He sent me copies. It's negative. I'm not worried about that. I'm just floored that this oh so troubling smoking ganja issue has seemed to all of a sudden disappear. smh
