Once had a serial client (referral source) who also was sent to secondary all the time even after adjusting to LPR. Once he naturalized as an AmCit he thought his problems would be over but no, secondary every time. Out of idle curiosity, he had me do a FOIA/PA request on his file. 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.
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.....

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.

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.

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 monthsâ€. Not my first waiver, so hopefully this also helps.

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