It's always like this... people attacking with words before and the excuses is the intention of helping, when the reasons why I was left in the country are nobody's business. Furthermore, the consul could have requested a waiver at the time of the interview and denied the visa, but he didn't. He asked me for a document that has nothing to do with the waiver, just about a traffic ticket!

You need to chill.

 

The lady at the counter does not have your file in front of her. She just says the most common thing that applies to 80% of the applicants. Since you mentioned your situation is not the normal just please wait and see what the consulate says. They are the one with the power.

 

Also in some cases you don't make any sense. Your friend's situation doesn't apply to you. Also why does she needs a wavier if she never applied to anything and visiting US first time?

 

Anyway, just please relax and check the CEAC status, that is the through.

USCIS and US Department of State often does not make sense.  There are many stories of families applying for B2 visas, and one or two being denied, but the others being approved at the same consulate.  Who is to say why your friend's was different than yours as we know absolutely nothing about their case.  Whatever, it seems clear now that you will eventually need a waiver, so I would focus on doing that with a lawyer or not as more than likely the consulate will ask for it.

Just for everyone's reference, in terms of the backstory on this particular case.

Here is a bit more info, if you are open to considering:

ULP is “forgiven” only for AOS in the US. It would have not barred your adjustment, had you not abandoned it by leaving before it was approved.

 

For consular process, it requires a waiver . No miracles here. 
 

You are dismissing info based on a narrow personal experience ( your friend and the nice -nice words of the CO)…guess what , they are trained to be non confrontational, evasive and in cases where on the spot approval is not warranted, hold back details on inner workings of the process. 

‘Ask your attorney to share the FAM /Foreign Affairs Manual relevant sections, for a better grasp of what you are facing.

 

 

Did I understand you traveled back to the US on visa waiver/ESTA after the denied I-485?….OUCH!!

I just reread this thread.  I don't see anyone attacking you.  I do, however, see very experienced members offering accurate information in an attempt to help you and to correct the misinformation you received outside this community.  You might be surprised at how much misinfo we see from attorneys and others. Consulates routinely refuse visas when they cannot be issued the same day as the interview.  After the interview ALL visas go through some administrative processing to ensure any actions were proper.  It is very possible the Officer will review your case during this admin processing, and inform you that a waiver is required.  Your overstay would have been forgiven for an Adjustment of Status, but it will not be forgiven for a visa (as explained by @Family).  We are all hoping your visa is issued as soon as is possible.  Good luck, and please keep us updated.

You seem to just want to hear that everything is fine and your visa is approved, and you get mad at everyone who is telling you otherwise.

 

The "girl" is not who approves visas, so whatever she told you has very little value.

 

You have a choice: you can take all the advice that has been given by very experienced VJ members and learn from it. Or you can continue to be mad at everyone and everything and get nowhere.

You don't understand???? My exemption was during the pandemic, one year and eleven months! I know the waiver and bar rule but the CONSUL DID NOT ASK ME FOR A WAIVER, He just gave me a white sheet asking for another document that has nothing to do with bar! CASV is the place where we go to get the forms and have our fingers printed and there the girl told me that my visa was approved and that I would receive the passport at my house!

I’m not sure why you started this thread, since it seems you already have the answers.  

Does your CEAC status say “issued”?  That is what you will see when the passport with visa is ready to be mailed to you.
