Hello all!

I was wondering if anyone has gone through the NVC process with the I-601a waiver.

My I-130 was approved 3/28/16 and we are waiting for it to go to NVC. I was wondering if anyone has paid the AOS and IV fees and then submitted the waiver and THEN sent in the supporting AOS and IV documents. Or, did you pay the fees, and send the waiver with the supporting documents simultaneously?

Thanks in advance! cheerful.gif

hi

the advice is not to send the supporting evidence until the waiver is approved

many have gotten their interviews before the waiver was approved, since the case has been completed

the waiver can take even up to 4 months for a reply, or even requested more evidence and take longer

Thank you! I was unsure if when we sent the waiver and then the documents the NVC would be able to start working on the documents at the same time. But I didn't know that they might give us a case complete, beforehand.

Do you also happen to know (after the waiver is approved) how long it will take for the NVC to issue case complete after they have the documents? I heard it was around 30 days.
