Just to update you all on processing times. I applied and booked my VISA interview on 29th June, had my Interview on 17th July where I was recommended for a waiver of ineligibility and on 17th September I had my email from the VISA office asking to submit my passport for VISA issue. So 2 months exactly which is great news, passport was sent yesterday so we will see how long that takes. Does anyone know roughly how long? I chose the DX courier service option? |
Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Does anyone know the percentage of waiver refusals? I had my Belfast appointment on Tuesday. Was told I'll be referred for a waiver but they recommended me to expand on my personal statement and send it back which I did on Wednesday. Nothing heard in regards to an acknowledgement and my reference is not on the Belfast waiver tracking. Was very surprised to even be recommended for a waiver so I'm expecting a refusal but was told it's very rare to get a refusal.

The refusals generally happen ahead of being recommended, rather than the DHS denying it, so if you've got this far, it's very likely you'll be fine. I wouldn't expect an acknowledgment of receipt around your expanded personal statement. That request is also not that unusual these days, we've seen quite a few recently. |

Hiya, last conviction was 6 years ago which was a possession of cannabis charge, same charge 2 years prior. 15 convictions in total mostly when I was under 18. 3 years youth offenders stint when I was 17 y.o for robbery. Most convictions fall under Moral Turpitude (shoplifting).
You're probably at the absolute earliest point where you might have got a visa, hence the personal statement request, and you may receive a relatively restricted visa as a result. But I really think the ConOff would have declined you there and then if it was going to be an issue. |

But I really think the ConOff would have declined you there and then if it was going to be an issue. All charges were listed on the acro certificate. Earliest I think was 2002 when I was 15. Yes I was quite surprised a waiver was put forward. |

It won't let me post his letter as an attachment or a picture but it literally says 'Having recommended your case to DHS for a waiver of your ineligibility, DHS has disapproved our request and decided not to grant you a waiver. This means you will not be receiving a non-immigrant visa at this time. I regret we could not grant your request.'

Sorry to hear the application was refused. Was the appointment in Belfast? If so, what was listed on the case tracker online after the refusal?
I understand what you're trying to do but there's no way you can get any more information at this point until after the decision. It's not easy, but the best thing you can do is sit back and forget about it. |

The case tracker will continue to say Refused until your passport is received after the request to send it in for visa issuance.

The case tracker doesn't say refused? It says referred to DHS and the application after mine on the spreadsheet says send passport. Not sure we are talking about the same thing.
It's not that uncommon for Belfast cases to proceed slightly in and out of order. |

Sorry, my bad. Thought you were talking about the CEAC status tracker.
It's not that uncommon for Belfast cases to proceed slightly in and out of order. I was just curious as none of them actually say refused and cases are dating back to December 2018 but I am aware of cases that have been refused in that time so was wondering what they note refused cases as. |

There really isn't any point in worrying about it. You'll either get the visa, or you won't. The best thing you can do is forget about it until you get the decision.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Just got a letter this morning advising they wont be issuing a visa following the ineligibility waiver application. At least I know now! Good luck to everyone else waiting.
