Hi  my waiver and 485 finally is approved waiting for the card in mail

So happy for you! Are you in the USA? My waiver just went over the processing time. I see yours took a year to be approved so I’m guessing I have 3 more months to go. Congrats again

We filed 485 in August 2017 but we had our AOS interview in March 2019 and in July we were requested to file 601 waiver. It’s been a long journey. Hopefully we get approved soon

Hi- Congratulations to you. It must have been a long journey. I received a RFE for my I601 filed on 8/12/19. Just sent the evidence. Hopefully it will be approved soon.

Thank you! Am am a US citizen but the waiver was for my spouse whose in Yemen. The situation in Yemen has been dangerous for the past 5 years so I guess that played a role in the waiver.

Hello and congratulations on getting your approval! May I ask what you needed to file your waiver for? I filed in December 2019 and am still waiting nervously.

The waiver was filed to overcome a misrepresentation pursuant to section 212(a)(6)(c)(i) of the INA
