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.

They asked for more fingerprints under the Privacy act.
He used a fake passport to try and enter the US from the Bahamas. I assume they want to see if he has a criminal record that has been sealed

Just for those people stressed out about their waivers.
I have a client who went to the border on November 16th. He is coming off 2 -1 year waivers. He does have a sexually based offence from 1996 but it is more an allegation than anything else. Anyways, despite 2 waivers previous, he is still waiting.
The point is, there seems to be 2 lineups right now. One seems to be dedicated to looking at waivers paid in late March before the fee goes up, and the other seems to have a combo of Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb
Again this is what i am seeing, not something I know for a fact. But it makes sense based on the data.
Have a good long weekend, I will be back Tuesday.

Just for comparison purposes. This is a Re-application, pretty straight forward, still not granted. We have Aprils in, even 1 May, but still plenty of January, Feb Marches. Also some before Christmas as well, although my assumption is that they are with a supervisor. Anyways, its an inexact science right now, but it is "generally" getting faster, so that is helpful.
One thing to keep in mind is that April 1 was the deadline for the fee increase, so I assume there were a TON of waivers done not only by me, but by other organizations as well. Over the course of the Easter Long weekend, I finished off with my staff a few hundred waivers, which means I do expect that there will be a period of high volume waivers, (right now they seem to be doing them) and then it should speed up significantly once they pass the waivers PAID for in March.
