K! Refused but wavier was filed...What next???

[amillimo 31]

Hello everyone

 

my fiancé and i went to out interview today and was denied under section 212 a 9ai but we are eligible for a waiver. The things is we filled our wavier before the interview and uscis said they received it June 6,2017 we even presented the printed out wavier packet..however the CO said it was not in the system. She then handed over some information to contact to see where our case is located. We called our lawyer as soon us we got home and told her the information. Everything else in the packet seemed fine and the CO's seemed very apologetic. Our just told its to stand by and maybe we can set another interview. Is there anyone on Visa Journey who has every experience anything similar to this or if anyone had any advice please feel free to comment. Thank  you our wavier is at Nebraskas  center and its a I 601

You aren't supposed to file an I-601 until after you've been found inadmissible at the interview.

 

It's possible your application wasn't accepted since you didn't do things in the right order.

The issue could be you filed 601 waiver before the interview.. I've spoken to Lizz Cannon before about this because I know I will need a 601 waiver and how long that process will take. She said it is very risky to send in the 601 waiver before because if it hits someones desk and start working on it without your K1 interview denial they may automatically deny your 601 waiver.

It was just recently denied and the wavier was sent before and we are eligible to file the wavier

Right, but you filed it before the denial, not after. That could be the crux of your issue. I'm not sure why you did that.
