Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Passport returned 20 days after sending, which included the easter weekend, 5 year waiver in hand. Phew. Note to self: don't put your passport through the washing machine again.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Finally just had my email, interview 18th of August 2023, so 221 days.

My fourth waiver, and by quite some distance my longest ever wait.

Congrats to Georgy btw, what a stroke of luck.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

I would argue that putting data from 2015 in that spreadsheet significantly pollutes everything else. The value is surely getting a sense of current timeframes?

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

5 years is the maximum possible with a waiver.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Anyone succeeded in finding earlier appointments lately? Soonest available is November which seems insane.

Is the same process of checking early morning the way?

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

You can expect secondary inspection at every Port of Entry into the USA. It is basically unavoidable.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

To put it bluntly, you're not going to get any helpful advice or insight here by being so ambiguous about your situation. Further, if you've experienced such a litany of administrative mistakes in...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Agreed, and it has to go via interpol.

However - I think you can (and should) assume access prior to a visa application. Many people forget decisions can be and are made with impunity - there is...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

You're pretty lucky this didn't get scrutinised in a way that resulted in no waiver. Did this get questioned at the Embassy?

I have to say, there's something funny to me about a fraud convict...

They're printing your visa and mailing it back to you.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Very, very unusual! I've done something like 30 entries under waivers and have gone to secondary every time.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Bear in mind that you will be in the visa queue and she will be in the esta automatic machine line too, then, increasing your divergence.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

By yourself - always by yourself. I have only seen children in secondary when a parent was up for question. Unless your wife needs to goto secondary, she won't be coming with you.

You will not be...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Yes, secondary is par for the course with anyone that has a waiver. Bring a book, not an electronic device. It can take several hours.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

It seems the actual sticking of the visa into the passport is taking a fair bit longer than it used to, several people had this now.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

I don't think there are reasonable parking options near the embassy. East Croydon station into Victoria (possibly Vauxhall) won't be too bad at all and probably a better choice than trying to taxi...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application

Passport issuance definitely seems a bit slower than it used to be. 5-7 working days was normal pre pandemic, it now seems more like 12-15 working days.

Yes, you will simply be admitted under B1 rather than B2 if the principal reason is for business meetings/conferences etc.

You may require evidence, conference schedule/tickets etc are probably...
