YES, but it took over 1/1/2 months.  The first problem was the Mexican Consulate in USA, we had to make appointment with them to arrange for documents,  fastest date they had was 3 weeks - do you need information (I will explain if u like)...

Then needed a relative in MX to pick up, then we needed a power of attorney.... for relative....  then something else.....problems, after problems.... until i remembered , this is Mexico not friggin US Immigration  idiots - (I love MEXICO, EASY TO do business there ) ....always ask, "How Much and to who do I pay"  ... for me - 1500.00 pesos (about 80 USD)for "Lawyers fees" in Acapulco (ACApulco is in the state i need doc from)  .... my certificate (legit, real docs from State Office) sent FEDEX that very day,,,,,  basically i wasted a month with Mexican officials in the US when i just needed a Lawyer in Mexico to file I(obtain) records...

I got RFE as well for this. We got the wrong one. Did you get yours from the procuraduria de justicia from your state in mexico?

Just an update I finally got an email and text yesterday Sunday 11/19 saying that they received our waiver and will be sending it to National Benefits Center. We sent ours out 3 weeks ago.

I have ran into the same problem. Our relatives said they cant get it for us since they require my husbands fingerprints. They want him to make appointment at the nearest consulate here in the us get finger prints then get power of attorney. How were you guys able to get it without having to submit fingerprints? Thanks!

Did your in law got to the procuraduria de justicia of your state in mexico? Thats the one they want us to get beucase the one we got originally was not the right one. NVC sent us a checklist for this

Hello all, while I'm new here, my wife and I have been in the thick of the immigration process for some time now.  

 

I'm relieved to see that most I-601a waivers are being processed around 4 to 5 months.  The USCIS received our 601a petition in early August of 2017 and we have been been checking the status of the case nearly everyday.  While we have an immigration attorney that guided us through the steps, I wrote the 601A myself for my wife and had a psychologist do an evaluation of our family and filed her report in the 601A.  We remain confident and patient. 

 

A week ago, I was blindsided by an email from the NVC asking for a police certificate for my wife during her time in Mexico.  Either this wasn't explained to me in plain English by our immigration attorney, or I just completely overlooked it.  Frustrating.  I assumed this was not needed since the 601A was in process with the USCIS in conjunction with biometrics done (fingerprints) two weeks AFTER the USCIS had received our case.  Well, no use whining or complaining about it.  My wife was able to get to the Mexican consulate within a couple of days and did all the fingerprints and papers needed for the local police department.  The next day, I went to the local DHL office and expressed the documents to her brother in Zacatecas, Mexico.  Hopefully, he will be able to receive the police certificate quickly and mail it back to us here in the USA, so I could then mail it to the NVC.  I hope I haven't delayed our potential US Consulate interview.  But since the USCIS still hasn't reviewed our 601A yet, it might not affect it at all.  

 

My question to all is, how long does it usually take for the the NVC to make your US Consulate interview AFTER your I-601A has been approved by the USCIS?  I'm guessing a few months.  I tried googling this question, but I always get bombarded with information regarding I-601...not the I-601A.

Hello Mansini, 

 

It should be within about 2 months that they schedule your interview if you have already sent all paperwork to NVC after your approval of you I-601A.

 

I have a quick question for you i need to get this police certificate as well (i got the same email from NVC). So you had your wife get her fingerprints at the Mexican consulate and then they give you paperwork that you sent to your in laws in mexico and from there they are able to get the police certificate for her?
