Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
I mailed on the forum for help with an on going enquiry to see if anyone else has had the same experience as us. Comments like this seem to be irrelevant as you don't know my situation and nor do you need to. I have had good feedback from people who seem to want to help others out. Do you need to know the urgency?....NO...but thanks again for your concern for my need or want..

This last one is interesting - because it suggests that you are, in fact, open to something else... but prefer not to. I commented based on what you, yourself, wrote.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Whether I need or want something is irrelevant when you are paying for something the process should be the same so I am at a loss as to why this is your focus Ian. I have merely had concerns as too our length of wait especially so when you hear people have only had to wait 22 weeks etc. Your comments are of no help but thank you if you think they are.

Question regarding secondary processing on arrival.....
Will my husband be able to wait with me or will he go straight thru to baggage reclaim? If he does stay with me and we are ages - what will happen to our bags?
If we are separated can I use my phone to stay in touch?
It these little details that worry me.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
I've been to secondary twice. My wife admitted both times straight away but came with me to the secondary inspection - remember you will only have 1 customs declaration between the two of you, so I don't think they would let your husband go off.
Baggage is generally removed from the belt and lined up in each flight number after a little while. I was admitted to JFK recently, straight through the primary desk, but the fact we'd queued for an hour prior meant the baggage was already off and lined up. The best advice there is to make sure your bag is different from others and has an obvious feature that it is yours!
In all cases, the easiest way of getting a lecture and upsetting the immigration inspectors is to put your phone on until you have cleared.

It is a nerving experience, but you've done the hard thing by following the honest route and getting approved with the visa and waiver, so just make sure you have evidence of your trip and return home with enough finance to support yourself and i'm sure you'll be fine. As has been posted elsewhere, they have to have a very good reason to refuse entry - especially if you have a visa, as you would be entitled to an appeal (which you're not on the VWP).
For the record both trips to secondary were asking basic questions on why I was there, how much did I have, when I was going home and done. The worst part for me was missing a connecting flight because of it, but the airline put us on the next flight, so apart from losing 4 hours of our holiday, it wasn't a problem in the grand scheme of things.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Hello,
Does anybody have any insight into why I might be told at interview that a waiver is needed, and then receive an email a few days later saying "please submit passport for visa issuance"?
I'm assuming a waiver couldn't possibly have been granted so quickly, so I'm not sure whether to be pleasantly confused (an error on the day?) or pessimistic (an error in the sending/my interpretation of the email?)
Either way, I'll report back.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Thank you for replying.
I was hoping this was the case because I didn't think I should have a problem, but does this really happen? For me, it's whether an old conviction constitutes the dreaded MT, and I didn't think it did. But shouldn't that be very objective, very clear-cut and not needing of a supervisor's correction..?
Also, does asking for the passport definitely mean I have the visa (assuming the email is not an error)?
