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

@J Rogers thanks so much for your response I really appreciate you taking the time to
Address my hysteria lol I’ve honestly been letting this control my every thought because all I want to do is take my boys to Disney and feel so guilty I am the reason we can’t go next month now :(
I’m gonna take your advice and just try to be patient and calm because you are the expert and I so appreciate this form and all the information and insight you give to all of us
You are very appreciated !!!
Thanks again !!!
@Calyssa Despite your frustration, if you do another application, you will be paying for nothing. They don't "miss" applications. Obviously some staff are grabbing files a bit out of order. But I have a client who has been waiting 3 years. You are letting the fact that other waivers are granted ahead of you "get to you" and you are forgetting the fact that having this information isn't supposed to make you make bad decisions.
Just be patient, wait it out. It will come. More importantly, it is OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. Keep an eye on it, and one day it will appear. There are MANY files like your file, I have waivers that are still pending all the way back to October. Relax.
The problem with this site is everyone panics. I almost didn't post the one that was granted from May because of course I have to take 30 phone calls from panicked people, most of who are NOT EVEN MY CLIENTS. I don't put this information up to panic people, its to give you more information. Knowledge is power, but in 2024 apparently some people can't handle the lack of control.
I am the one who would tell you if you "have a problem". You don't. Stay calm.
@Appliedjuly22 yes it’s my first waiver and for fraud under 5K from over 20 years ago
@J Rogers why do you think they just skipped over the November and Decembers ? Like why are so many missing from these dates and none approved as of late from those months ?
I’m losing hope fast :( I’ve actually considered restarting my application over and paying again because I feel like my November 10th application is somehow lost and I’m so desperate lol
The denied waiver is a first time waiver, but he didn't respond to Homeland Security when they asked him for additional information. The second client is a re-application.

I have 2 more to download, and I will after lunch. Here is the 2 I downloaded this morning. They are both re-applications, in case you were wondering.

@J Rogers I find it very hard to believe this truly is just queue or wait list when some people get this done in 3-4 months and many others are waiting 9-10+ months.
