Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
I doubt it's as straightforward as they work through cases in sequence per embassy.
Also, I won't be sending my passport in within the 30 day notification, I've spoken with the embassy on that since I already had travel plans.

Do not assume a precise correlation. Rather, assume a rough correlation. The Admissibility Review Office has multiple adjudicators and they handle applications from all over the world.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Hello, interview date 17/10/23. Received e-mail today, 18/06/24 that I should send my passport within 30 days.
I noticed a page or so back some asking if about Waivers being unsuccessful. Well I had a WoI declined by DHS in 2017 (appointment in May 2017, declined about 6 months later).

The waiver request does not go the CBP ARO absent a recommendation from the Consul. Take a look at section 212(d)(3) of the Immigration & Nationality Act.

Hello, it was slightly over 3 years between end of sentence and applying. Waiver was recommended by embassy but denied by DHS.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
my reflections on the waiver processing. The DHLS should allow the consular officers to issue waivers based on the criteria agreed between the two departments. This would reduce the burden on the team in Washington and most people in this thread have obtained their visas. Without knowing each circumstance it’s difficult to judge but I guess certain criteria could allow the consular to issue a waiver.. probably constitutional reasons prevent this. But I would pay for expedited response.
My case started in Feb 24, I’m hopeful that the 4 to 6 months quoted by the Dublin consulate is going to happen, however based on the average it looks more like 8 months! So November it is maybe

First, what does DHLS stand for? Never heard of them. It should be noted that action 212(d)(3) of the Immigration & Nationality Act provides the consular office primary authority to make the initial determination on the waiver. If the decision is to grant, a recommendation is then made to DHS for approval. (Note the statutory language references the Attorney General. The 2002 creation of Homeland Security transferred that authority). IOW, it would require an Act of Congress to adopt your suggestion.
I’m 3 months in now.. reading here another 5 to go! I’m still hopeful for the 4 to 6 months quoted by the embassy…

DHS I mean not DHLS! I doubt anyone would put forward this suggestion to congress… It’s a waiting game I guess. Shame it takes so long! There must be millions of applications with the DHS. Each application needs review too!
