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.
@Job222628 She had recent charges that were withdrawn. So it became complicated.

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.

5 year waiver - They went to the border on MAY 15 !!!
Whats interesting about ALL of these waivers is they "JUST" beat the deadline when the fee went up. So they are all granted around the same time and all were PAID around the same time. But ONE went to the border on May 15th. The rest went April 11 or 12. Get ready for a LOT of waiver, I did hundreds around this time to beat the deadline.

@J Rogers It seems like the waiver approvals really have slowed down this past week? Only really seeing 1-2 approvals a day now at most. Have you noticed that?
