There are rare exceptions, but whether you file a waiver, or a waiver AND an I-212 you simply get a waiver in return. That's why I tell clients to wait. Its an extra $930USD for the exact same waiver.

Sorry, that was meant for the response below

Sorry June 14th, not 16th.
@Bob Jerkins @YoungAndDumb I've been waiting since Octobr 19th, 2023. I was asked to provide mor information in July to which I had rsponded right away. Still waiting. Just over 11 months now. Praying for some good news to come in shortly

@YoungAndDumb honestly I would say 50% chance. I’ve seen some lucky people get it in 3-4 months. And unluckier people get it in 10-12 months. Obviously the people on this specific form are the ones that aren’t happy and will voice their concern. But I’m sure there’s many behind the scenes - hopefully the silent majority.
What I can absolutely say is the last Two Weeks has been a serious considerable slow down. J. rogers used to post waivers 3-5 times a day and now we’re down to 2-3 a week at most.
Wait until the last possible date to cancel but also make other arrangements many months later so you’re not stressed.
Not a chance, I am still waiting from Nov 30th, 2023 for mine. I had to cancel my planned trip as well. Now its just waiting. First time applicants are screwed over and wait much longer than renewals.
I submitted my first ever waiver application back in May of 2024.
I have booked (refundable) tickets to Florida for late February.
Based on people's experience, do you think I'd have my waiver in hand in-time to take the trip?

Tickets are for February 2025.
Waiver was filed and shows as submitted to ARO on May 8th.
If it comes in by February 8th or so, that would be about 9 months from the date I filed.
The CBP officer said it should take 8 - 10 months.

Jeez really bad week for us. Only a couple of waivers approved and none from the "hundreds" that were sent in April that J. Rogers spoke about. Seems like we're in for a pretty lengthy delay again, just based on the stats.
