601 Waiver timeline 2018

[LSUSA 1]

Hello, have just recently joined. My lawyer has just completed my 601 waiver for filing and I would love to keep in contact with people with similar timeframe. I have been deported from the USA for nearly 7 years have taken a while to get this far 😊. Can anybody let me know if they have filed their 601 waiver in the last 6 months and have heard anything yet? Wishful thinking I know. PLEASE ONLY PEOPLE FILING 601 WAIVERS AND NOT 601A REPLY. 😁

Seems to be taking a year and a bit, well for those getting approved recently. Nobody filing in the last 6 months would have heard anything.

I’m Not a 601 filer, but this is the kind of place that you’re going to get answers from people going through different immigration situations. You mention that you were deported. What was the reason for your deportation and what ban did you receive? What is your inadmissibity that you were required to file the 601? Did your attorney mention that when you are deported you are also required to file a 212? That is our situation.

OP said they were deported nearly 7 years ago.

7 years is irrelevant if they received a 10-20 year ban? That’s why I asked what ban they received.

You mentioned Deportation.

[inneedofmyhb 217]

Yes, anytime you are deported, you receive a ban and are inadmissible for something which is what determines the ban i.e. overstay for more than 365 days is an automatic 10 years. Expedited at airport (my hb) 5 years. So if he/she is trying to return before the ban has expired, they need a 212. Regardless of 601 being filed or not. 

[Boiler 45,770]

Yet again Deportation is a 5 year ban and has been gone nearly 7.

Hello, thank you all for your answers, especially Boiler needed to know a correct timeframe, as they all seem to get confused with the 601A waiver.

Originally the ban was 10 years, overstay on a tourist visa, when I went to the interview they tried to put on a lifetime ban due to a re entry after a previous over stay and I changed my name due to I didn't want my ex getting in contact. We have been filing and appealing for 7 years to get up to the 601 waiver, British embassy sent back I130 waiver saying the marriage was fake, so that held it up for nearly two years, and before that hired a lawyer who didn't know what they were doing, I'm married to a American who is paralysed from the waist down so our case is hopefully strong enough to get it approved. 😔

Overstay presumably more than a year - 10 year ban

 

You sought to re enter using the VWP after a prior overstay and they were looking at a Misrep ban? Same waiver so not that important.

[LSUSA 1]

Yeah your correct it was VWP back when you could apply on the plane.

From what I have seen with other filers it takes about 1 year. There have been some lucky ones that have gotten answers in a couple of months.

My husband has a 601 waiting in Nebraska for inadmissibility. Our lawyer filed last March 12, 2018. Still waiting, the good news is they knocked it down to 11 to 14.5 months recently. Hope this helps, but it seems like they sit on the 601s. The 601a's get filed much faster.

Do you fill out the waivers only after you get denied? Or can you submit it before the interview? My fiance has two adult cautions (one being considered a CIMT crime) and a juvenile charge. I was looking into the waivers and confused when to file? Thank you.

An I-601 can only be filed after being otherwise eligible for the visa. That would only occur after the interview.
