I need help. I inquired about my husband's waiver approval thru email to dhs.gov. They said that the request has been approved since Nov 6, 2007. WOhoooo! :no: I need to know what do we do next since they said that the waiver has been approved. What is the process? PLEASE HELP FOR MORE INFO! :help:

First of all congratulations!

I've heard a couple of different things. The way it is supposed to work is they send it directly to the consulate, AND you get an approval letter. Since it's already been two weeks, you could email the consulate and see if they've received the letter that it has been approved. This may be successful.

If not, speak to your Senator's rep, they can usually speed this part of the process up, since it has already been approved and you're just waiting on the snail's pace of the govt.

May I ask if you were applying for a 212 or 601 or both??

We applied for both I-601 and I-212 waivers in US Consulate outside the US. I emailed the inquiry again on what to do next after the notification of the email that it has been approved. My husband was so exited and so anxious to have my family reunited again for 2 years. The file was with the adjudication officer outside the US.

Give it some time (maybe one or 2 more weeks). The embassy will only contact you once they received the approval letter to schedule another interview. I am not sure if you will receive an approval letter, because I did not. However, the embassy should give you a copy of your approval letter from the DHS as you may need it at the port of entry. I do not know how long more you need to wait, but if an immigrant visa is available for you already, it should not take that long anymore. Just make sure that your contact information is updated with the embassy, so they can call you.

Hi. We are still waiting for the visa to be delivered to my husbands address. THey required him to get an updated Police Clearance. He turned in both Police Certificate and passport last Nov. 28th. We have not yet heard from the US Consulate yet. Anyone who have the same experience at the US Embassy in Manila?? PLS HELP FOR MORE INFO!
