The response was heavily redacted on law enforcement grounds. In fact, the redactions were much more than what was disclosed. We never did figure out what the problem was. We knew that the Honolulu district of former INS believed there was visa fraud when I was initially hired. Won the exclusion case but the allegations kept coming back even to survive naturalization. Go figure.

oh :( we were also hoping would stop after naturalizing. Quite often the CO shrugs and apologizes! On the plus side.....We would have done anything 8 years ago, to be in the position where we could grumble about the minor inconvenience of secondary.....

All

Be aware that as users add their details to the tracker, they might accidentally edit the wrong row and overwrite another users interview date.

We don't have any easy way to prevent this while leaving the sheet open to all to fill in, so please keep and eye on your row, add a username if you haven't done so, and if you see your date has been changed, change it back or let us know here.

Hi Everyone, just received my passport back, B1/B2 for 5 years. Total of 10 days from sending passport off, to receiving back. Good luck to all that are still waiting. I hope you get some news soon.

Hi Carl, that is great news, I have been waiting for your news. My application is also B1/B2 and in London so this makes me feel I will get mine in time. Cheers !

I noticed your process took 328 days. Were there any complications or specific reasons for it taking about a month longer than others?

None that I could ascertain. And since the person 3 days before me took only 245 days, the extra 83 day wait for mine was frustrating to say the least.

The delay may be because this is your first waiver.

I see someone with interview date on 4 June 2024 received their waiver yesterday. The wait time is similar to what we experienced in September/October of last year, so maybe the processing is getting faster? Feels like if I don't hear anything this coming week, I may have to prepare for the long haul...

I see there was also one before it from May… so lets hope its just getting faster. I applied for mine in July and Im needing it back by mid May 😞 Cant believe I was told “up to 6 months”. Not my first waiver, so hopefully this also helps.

Don't count on it. Wait time is approaching 10 months in the sheet!
