Can't believe you haven't heard anything, what a pain!! Our week 16 is not until 2nd week in Jan so hope we don't get swept into the no bin as well!! Do u defo hear via email coz we hav moved house as well just to complicate matters ha ha

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

It's unfortunate that your application seems to be delayed. Hang in there and hopefully you'll get some news soon. :fingerscrossed:

Yes the embassy will eventually contact you by email with the outcome of your waiver determination.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Have u heard yet? This is mad!!:fingerscrossed:

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Eventually capitulated and emailed the consulate, because we had a batch of incoming emails go missing recently at work, so i used that to justify emailing them.

Waste of time (as i knew it would be) and they replied very quickly telling me things are still under review.

So we have missed thanksgiving, and now Christmas but maybe we can shoot for spring time!:fingerscrossed:

Still beats a flat out denial!

Happy New year to any other d(3) waiverers!

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Just checking in to see if you know anything yet, I think we have waited 19 weeks now ( app was 8th sep ) and still not heard a thing! Hope he gets the visa, need to start getting something booked if we can go.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

I did, i think it took about 21 weeks to get the email. I did update one of these threads, but obviously missed this one! Good luck and try not to worry.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

The Embassy in London is currently estimating 20 to 22 weeks for waiver applications.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Ok I will keep waiting patiently, what visa did you get? I'm glad you finally heard something.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Glad their estimate has moved closer to reality, this will hopefully help manage expectations of those expecting a quick turnaround.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

hey man, just enquiring to see if you have heard anything back yet>

i had my embassy interview for a 12 month J visa on december 6th and am still waiting, i'm irish and had mine in ireland but imagine its the same sort of procedure

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi whats a j visa for? We still haven't heard anything it's been 22 weeks and 5 days :( not that I'm counting ha ha!
The app was 8th September, what I'm worrying about now is that they will still email even if the answer is no, I would hate to just keep waiting and waiting!!
Good luck with your visa x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

its a 1 year visa i can get through college, i was on a 5 month j1 already and got a social securtiy number through it, which is why i am puzzled as to why its taking so long

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi GinGino/all...Please let me know when you here from the Embassy.

I was originally expecting a decision after 14-16 weeks but it now appears the time frames have changed and the wait time is longer than 22 weeks. It is going to be my 19th week tomorrow.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi Gino Gino

My step daughter attended an interview on the 13th September and we still haven't heard anything. This is her 2nd application as we went to Florida last Feb, but that application took less than 12 weeks start to finish. We are now coming up for 23 weeks tomorrow. Will be watching this thread to see when yours arrives, please let us know :)

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

I will definitely keep you all informed, it was 24 weeks yesterday and still nothing!!

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Mine's been 29 weeks and still waiting...!

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

It would seem turnaround times are getting worse, i wonder if this is because more people are aware of the d3 waiver, (especially given that they are all adjudicated centrally) or that less resource is being expended on them by the Admissibility Review Office?

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Oh no, 29 weeks?? that is not good news, I can't believe they are taking so long, it was never this bad previously. That definitely rules out my step daughter coming with us as we are due to go before her 29 weeks will be up - Has any one else received a visa lately before 29 weeks?? :(

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

The most frustrating thing is we don't have any idea how long it will be - the million dollar question I guess! We are 'under review' as of this week but what does that actually mean?

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

It means it's being reviewed, and nothing more.

Rene

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Did you email to find out that you were under review? Hopefully not long for you now then fingers crossed x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Am I right in thinking that these are done i batches? as looking at some of these forums several people received theirs at the same time, yet attended at different times. I'm just clutching at straws and hoping that there is hope that we may all be under review :)

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

No.


Purely coincidental.

Ian

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Could you not look onto postponing your holiday? At least you know they will say yes to you if it's the second waiver you have applied for, we haven't booked anything yet but not sure that it will even be a yes!
Good luck x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi, looked into postponing her and her fiances' flights today, the cost was almost as much as buying two new flights, I know it's not wise now to buy flights but on past experience we thought six months notice was more than enough time. Fingers crossed for you to, I look forward to your post saying that your visa has been approved:)

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

I know how you feel, the embassy told my husband 3 weeks!!!! I know that they are advised to just say a random time to people but it is disheartening when the weeks tick by and you hear nothing, even if you had some way of tracking it you could feel better. The reason we did it so early was because we were expecting a medical as well but they didn't mention that this time.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Can anyone offer advise on my circumstances. My wife and I have been resident in the US for the past 8 years on an E2 and returned to London recently to renew the visa for the second time. Everything was fine for our company and my wife's visa but mine was denied based on a DUI conviction in Florida in May 2011. They have advised that a waiver of ineligibility is possible in the future but have not indicated timescales, procedures etc. Meanwhile my wife has returned to Florida to continue running our business on her own while I am stuck in the UK. Does anyone have any experience or advice on this please? Thanks

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

It's time to get an experienced immigration lawyer involved... one who has specific experience (and success) with waivers of ineligibility. This is not a DIY project.

I don't think this is an insurmountable problem, but it's going to take time.

Ian

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Thanks Ian for your reply which I appreciate. Do you have any connections with this type of situation?

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

I don't even think they are allowed to issue multiple entry waivers for that ground of inadmissibility. That would seem to indicate that they will allow someone to enter for a specific urgent event if there were safeguards in place, but would not issue to someone who wanted to go over and stay for an extended period of time.

You may just have to apply again once the issue has been resolved and a USPHS doctor confirms that you are no longer likely to be a danger to yourself or others.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hello all, just a quick message to say that we got the email today to send passport, so pleased. I NEVER thought we would get to this stage x good luck LJF48 our appointment was only a couple of days before yours so hopefully you will hear very shortly x x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Well done GinGino! Please come back and let us all know the duration/validity you've been given once you have your passport back. :)

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi Gino Gino, I am so pleased for you, a great result. You have given us hope, your appointment was 1 week before ours I think, ours was the 15th Sept. Thank you for letting me know and I hope you have a great holiday:thumbsup:

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Congrats Gino Gino.

LJF48 - please let us know when you get your email too. Looks like Gino Gino has had to wait for around 25 weeks!

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi all

We have the email, I can't believe it's finally here. It would have been 25 weeks since we went this Thursday. Will update more once the visa is returned
