Good luck to all in the last hurdle of the painfully long waiting game, hope they all arrive soon, keep us posted

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Hi Emma,

Heard anything yet? I was 23 weeks and 6 days, so won't be long now. Heard last Thursday, sent my passport on friday morning, they got it yesterday, so another 2 weeks for it to come back, then on with the planning.

I'll let you know as soon as it comes back just to give a rough guide as to how long its taking.

Mark.

ive missed the holiday that I really wanted to go on so now its just a case of going when I go, im not gonna get stressed over it x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Emma that's rubbish but hey ho heads up there is always next year :) at least you haven't booked yet x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

exactly I wasn't that confident lol although when I went for the interview at the consultate the interviewing officer asked me the dates I wanted to go and made a note of them and said it wouldn't be back in plenty of time - wishful thinking eh x

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

Just wondering if you guys are all from UK and if the processing time from NZ would be any different? My husband was told at his interview that it would take up to 2 months. I know of someone else also from NZ that applied last year, was told up to 5 months and it arrived a week before the 5 months.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

It may be different, since there are probably fewer travelers from NZ than from the UK... but it may not be also. As disappointing as this might sound, I believe 2 months is totally unrealistic... and 5-6 months should be your realistic expectation.

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
 

I know you're excited and all but, with respect, I caution you in making such leaps using faulty logic. Immigration is not a linear process... and even if two people apply on the same day and are interviewed on the same day, they can (and often do) have wildly varying times for completion of their waiver application.

She might get notification next week; she might get it this week; she might get it 5 weeks from now. There is, quite simply, no way to know in advance based on application and/or interview dates. Immigration is not a linear process.

How interesting how people are so negative!!
Emma think positive :) I believe it wont be long after ours :fingerscrossed:
It is just peoples opinions however it does feel that it IS the way it works!

Oh do me a favour. Get your head out of the fairy rainbows and get back to reality. A reality that Ian has accurately described for you.
