Help with my i 601 case PLEASE HELP!

[Cassidy 0]

My husband had his interview at the consulate in Tirana, Albania in December 2019. They told him that all he needed to do was the i 601 waiver because he overstayed for more than a year in the US.
I have been reading a lot online about people having to schedule a NEW interview after their i 601 is approved but when I asked my lawyer about scheduling a new interview after the approval she says my husband will NOT have to go back to do another interview because he already had one & they said all he needed now is the i 601 approval.

Is this true? Does he have to go back to the consulate for another interview after the i 601 approval?? My lawyer keeps assuring me that he does NOT since he already went back in December. I'm just very confused. PLEASE HELP.

I am confused. Dont you have to get i 601 waiver before going to the Interview. Whats the meaning to go to interview when you dont have waiver approved ? Did you not know that he overstayed before ?

No, my lawyers said my husband will have his Visa interview and they deny his Visa there and tell him he has to get waiver approved. He had his interview December 2019 and we submitted i 601 waiver January 2020.

Got it, you are right that waiver is filed after interview.

 He will need new medical and all depending on how long the waiver takes to be approved. I new interview is standard to review that all the required document that have expired are updated.
