Thank you so much Mcbean immigration TV, I appreciate a lot to take the time to explain how's it's work! After 2 years to looking for any updates on waiver I-601A. You're the only one post a video. My name is Carlos Hernandez I'm from El Salvador 🇸🇻 and I'm resident in California. God bless you.
Hey Carlos!! You are SO very welcome! It took me forever to get around to this one and to your question, but I'm glad that I was able to do so. Wishing you the best outcome with your pending petition!
Thank you for explaining it so clear in a easy way to understand the process. I did my biometric appointment on January 5th, 2022 and I’m just now waiting to hear from NVC. For everyone who is waiting and feel that day will never come keep your hope and faith up I have 17 years waiting to complete my immigration case. God bless!
good luck to you. we submitted ours January 28th, 2020 and we are still waiting for response. it's unbelievable the amount of time that is taking. it used to be 4 to 6 months.
Hey friends, get my new free guide "Top 25 Immigration Questions" at www.mcbeanlaw.com/top-25-questions/. This covers the frequently asked questions that I've seen over the years. Enjoy! 🙂
July 12th 2021 I did my biometric i-601 waiver Nebraska got my case almost 2 year and not approved yet i can't believe its taking so long when before was 4 to 6 month
we filed our I601a waiver in May 2021 had fingerprints July 2021, we are expected by the timelines on USCIS WEBSITE we won't have a scheduled interview till Oct 2023 our case is pending in Nebraska !!! all other processes have been modified. fingers crossed they start speeding up this process for the waivers !
After a visa denial (spousal interview) - How much time does the USCIS give the applicant to apply for an I-601? 90 days, 12 months? From what time does it start?
I received a letter from nvc ,they say my case get closed because it's more than a year and threy didn't received the documents they request. I have a lawyer and she said , it's because she's waiting for my I601A to get aprove but now the nvc wants me to pay the 325 fee again. My lawyer told me , the wait time can be until 2025 but she started my process since 2020 . I'm married with a citizen and we have a kid we're been together for 10 years and married for 3 now . It's something that I can do .
Uscis received my i485 in September 2021, I went to biometric in October 18. They sent us a request for evidence in December 22, we sent it in January but since then I am waiting for an interview date, they didn’t send me a work permit or anything 😅, I’m in New York life is so expensive
Hi, i came across this video because my husband and i got married abroad and we already have our I-130 Petition in review well the question to this is he just recently came to the usa illegally and turned himself into the border and was given a case number but has not been given a date to go into court..what can we do? Or is this a tough case?
Long after the NVC process have been completed, the local embassy is advising me to refile a waiver of admissibility more than 10 years later. What to expect.
What about DACA recipients that can receive status through an I-130 petition? Especially if you were brought as a minor and an adult decide for you? Is there any discretion.
Hello, my I-601a waiver was sent by the end of August 2022 and was Received September 1st 2022. On Sep 16, 2022 I got the notice that I had to go for my biometrics appointment on October 5th 2022 which was yesterday. I went and got that done. My question is, how much longer after biometrics will it take for the waiver to be approved or denied?
Im waiting 1.5 years for I-601.they moved my case. I don't know if I can wait. I got denied 3 times since 2018. And now this application (I-601) they said will take 3 years. I just want to go home and be over. Nobody wants to hire me here in US because my work permit expired.
Hi quick questions if my husband qualifies for food stamps his a resident alien his my co-sponser can it affect me when I go to my appointment ?? Hope to here from you soon😊
How I can I contact you for my case, am a registered Nurse with an approved I-140 and pending i485 application. In December 2021, I travelled to abroad and couldn’t return till now. Don’t have a valid document to return to the US, what can I do?
Dear officer. How long does it take to have answe for waiver 601? I just had my Visa interview yesterday and the officer gave me a waiver for vaccinations based on religious and moral grounds. Thanks
awesome info! thanks!! but my wife and i got our interview date but we still havnt gotten the i601A approved. we had to miss our interview. is there a way to reschedule our appointment? thanks agian!
Hi McBean Immigration! My spouse was detained while crossing the border on 12/24/14 and was given a positive credible fear determination by an asylum officer and has been in removal proceedings ever since. He submitted an asylum application and the i797c shows a receipt date of 12/28/15. I’m a US Citizen and filed an i130 which was approved in 2017. He is requesting voluntary departure from IJ so that he can travel abroad to Honduras in September to attend his IR1 visa interview. Based on this info… does he need the I601/I601A waiver? I really appreciate your response.. thank you!
I spent a year in the US helping my uncle's business, setting up his IT infrastructure, and doing the payroll for his employee's and what not. I got paid a reasonable amount, paid taxes, and didn't complain because what amazed me was the fact that I was NEVER without money. Back home, it's a constant struggle to make ends meets, and you're always juggling what will be paid, and what you have to do without. In the US, for that one year, I never had that problem and at first, I was like, ok what's going on here? I'm paying more taxes in the US out of my salary, and I have more money in my pocket?? Whaaat?? Nahh... Somebody pinch me. Yea, that pinch came really fast and it was time to go back home. My sister is an American citizen, and to apply for me will take so long. Unjustly long. Incredibly long. Too long. I hope that changes cause the struggle is real.
Hello I am on a 10 year bar i have been outside the USA for 3 years. I have a qualifying relative US citizen minor who is unwell and is needs support during this season. Am i eliglble to file for the waiver in order to file for Visa to come and take of my son who is suffering extreme harship right now. What are your fees to help assist me with this waiver .
Thank you for your videos, I entered the US legally on an ESTA I overstayed didn't get to even apply for my adjustment of status. I would like to leave the US can I just go to the airport get my ticket and go back home to Europe? Thank you
Sure you can just buy a ticket and leave but you will incur the ban if you overstayed more than 6 months (3 year ban) or more than 1 year (10 year ban) before u will be allowed to come back here, thats if they want to allow you in.. Goodluck to you
I been waiting since October 7 2019 ! Still no notice (1-601A) I lived in the USA since I was 7 years old! I'm not 31. I recently gave birth to my baby august 16, she was born prematurely. Im trying not to let it stress me out because I don't know when I will get that notice or what will happen and who will help me take care of her ! She's so small and requires sooo much attention!!!

Is ridiculous being waiting almost 4 years for an interview for mi i 130. Them have to wait another 2 years for the waiver so that is too much 7 years to complete everthing.
Folks, please be careful on this comment string because the wrong information is being shared here. These waivers are very complex and professional help can sort out what you need. The I-601 can be filed by eligible individuals inside the U.S. and those outside the U.S.
They say to make it 6 months by the end of FY of 2023. So if you applied in january 2024 it will take 6 months But what if you applied in july 2022 and is 2 years will this means i will get my pending case until 2025??? Which means people who applied after me will be approved before me?
In 2002, November to be precise, I got married to an American citizen, She filed my I-130 in December and was approved in February of 2003, I went to the immigration office to submit the application for my green card, and my application was not accepted due to the fact that I was not inspected. I went and consulted a lawyer who told me then about the waiver 601 but I have to travel back to my country to apply for the waiver and that it was not certain that I would be approved. I have three beautiful children and my first child is 18 years will be going to the university this August.

Good day, I was denied entry in May 2017 in New York due to my Son and my ex-wife overstayed since 2015 and l was also told l stayed for 5 months and two weeks during my last visit in 2016, infact I was accused of working without permit. It's over five years now and l wish to visit the US again to see my Son that's green card holder now and my daughter that was a US citizen by birth, I wish to know if I need to apply for admissibility waiver before reapplying for visiting Visa.
