That is probably not the case for me. I have an AOS vaccine waiver, haven't seen a single one taking that long. Must be in general for the form.

This is not AoS.

Consulate waivers are about a year.

So you are saying I-601 waivers based on a denial at the overseas consulate are processed quicker?

Waiver for what

My wife's visa was denied for a prior finding of misrepresentation and unlawful presence. I'm just interested to know if the I-601 waiver may be processed faster because the visa was denied by the overseas consular and not in the US. I thought I read that could make a difference in waiver processing time but I could be mistaken.

Last I saw these were taking 2 years but as with any processing times we can’t see the future

I know. But the fact that the visa originated at an overseas consular makes no possible difference in waiver processing time compared to if the visa originated in the US?

 

Thanks for your help.

If you are in the US you are adjusting not applying for a visa.

 

Assuming you are a USC then overstays are forgiven when adjusting, misrep could still be an issue, but that just delays adjusting

I am a US citizen. My Korean wife and I are currently living in Korea. She had the visa interview at the US Embassy in Korea and the visa was denied. We filed the I-601 in September.

Sounds like you are on the right track.
