There wasn't a number - it was just a box checked that was under a section titled "Waiver Process" that said "you are eligible to file a waiver".  

 

Please was there any ban in your wife’s case, because am going through the same process. I was expedited removed in 2016 when I was visiting the officer said I came to work, but my husband filled for me we just had our interview and the checked the box for eligible to file a waiver and they also checked the box which says 212a9aI five years ban for ineligibility.. but our lawyer said we are to file i212 which is to be sent to department of Homeland security in Houston where I was removed from. So my question is this why did you File i601, did your wife have fraud or misrepresentation and overstay sir to disturb you with all this question.

No. No ban in my fiance's case.  He was denied entry at LAX and has never stepped foot on US Soil.  No misrepresentation/fraud/overstay/illegal presence involved.  The CO in Sydney actually apologized for not being able to approve us directly because of what the CBP Officer in LAX did.  We had to file a waiver to get the inadmissibility removed/waived.  The CO said 4-6 months for processing.  USCIS said 8-12 (when we filed), and now it's 14-18.5 months.

Ok.. were you asked to the hardship waiver or you just did yourself?

We were instructed to file the I-601.  We have done it ourselves, no lawyers.  We included a brief description of the hardship involved but we are ready with a more detailed letter/evidence should they request it via RFE.
