Hi Guys;

Congratulation to everyone with on-coming interview dates and those that have been approved.

I have a questions...hopefully I can get clarification. So I needed a waiver, (Form 1-601) and if anyone is familiar with this, I am not sure whether this is needed for the NVC process or the embassy. I filled the form and paid for it with my reasons but my lawyer didn't file it, saying that, if they need it that is when he will file it.

Now, my case is complete with NVC and I have an interview date, do you guys think I still need to file the waiver? Sometimes these lawyers are so off, so I always want to cover all bases just incase...

Please let me know if anyone has ever been asked to complete the waiver and where exactly it will be needed.

Thank you

Hello Mbhorn,

I filed the waiver 601 before my attorney sent the package to NVC,it took me 3 months to got approved. Its important you have your waiver filed and approved before interview, otherwise they will ask you at the interview to apply for it and you guys have to wait overseas till its got approved.

Wow, I wish I had follow my first instincts. Oh dear God I would hate for it to be something we are asked at the interview. Let me get on it immediately

Thank you so much.

Interview date April 28th.

Overstaying F-1 Visa (ooooppssy daisy) but does it really matter thou? The reason? I mean I came home and started the filing process as they ask?

I think, on the form it states all the reasons and mine is one there as well so I believe I need it so does my lawyer as he asked me to complete the form so he can file it.

It's crazy--- want to hear other people's responses

I filed a waiver for unlawful presence, I've been living in the sttes for 12 years, do you thing that for over staying wih F-1 visa you will need to file a waiver? But if you really need it, its better to filed it before interview.

If you gonna send the waiver you can request to expedite and tell them you interview its april/28.
