Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
#4472
Nolo Press has a 50 year history of assisting people to do their own legal work They call it "consumer oriented" rather than DIY. But their publications don't hesitate to give warning when DIY is not a good idea.
The mother immigration case on the subject is Matter of Hranka. This is Nolo’s take on Hranka-
Nolo on Hranka factors
Funny thing about Hranka applications is that the law on the subject is quite sparse. In my experience, the main value of an attorney is independent professional detachment. People in need of a waiver will not have the viewpoint to layout to DHS why they are deserving.
BTW, I'm of the belief that an applicant on "all fours" with Hranka will lose.

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well..
Does anyone have any recent updates on processing time? My appointment was the 10th August
Any updates would be massively appreciated as have a whole holiday hinging on this and was told by the first guy I saw at the embassy it would be 5 days and the 2nd one 2 weeks......clearly neither were correct.
Thanks guys - starting to have a little panic

Hi Emma,
We were supposed to fly to America yday but had to change it to next year. My husband had his appointment 12th July. At the time he was told a few weeks but the letter stated 6 months and the website 6-8 months!!! I’m hoping we hear soon as still panicking about next year at this stage. Hope you have a while until you have to decide on the holiday. I know how stressful it is and feel your pain!!

We also decided to rebook to mid next year also. There was no rush for our holiday anyway and thought it best to give it a full year to process in hopes it will be done and sorted by June 2023 😂😂. Hope we all hear soon. So stressful trying to wait for something without being able to track any progress made.

Hello all,
Never posted before but have been lurking while waiting for my waiver of ineligibility decision to come back in an attempt to relieve the stress of waiting.
I had my interview on: 27/07/22
Request to send documents: 21/10/22
I hope this helps, I will update again when I receive documents back.
Good luck everyone!

Thanks! Yes first visa and yes a B2. I don't know how long or how many visits they'll have given me yet. If its only a short visa does that mean I have to go through all this process again in potentially 6 months time?

Hi guys, just a little update. My husband received his email today asking him to submit his passport!! He attended his interview on the 12th July and it was for his first B2 visa. Hopefully a big step closer to being sorted. Hope everyone else gets their email soon. I know how stressful this process is!

My dad had his waiver applied for on 8th August and got notification today to send passport. It says it must be sent within 30 days but unluckily he is in Turkey for the next 3.5 weeks. The first day he can send the visa is Monday 21st November having it arrive a day shy of the 30 day deadline. Talk about stress!!! So typical that the notification comes the day he leaves the country!! That is just the way this whole process has gone but thankful it looks like it will go through. it is a B2 visa, will let people know how long it's for and how long it took to come back
