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

Client #2 entered the United States illegally in 2010.

Sorry June 14th, not 16th.
Hope it's an approval not the rejection. Any reason you think of why it got delayed.

Oh my goodness... Look what I finally received today after waiting for 8 months and 20 days. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their results. My sympathy is with you during this uncertain time. Thanks to J. Rogers for this website, which is the only lifeline for all of us waiting for results. Thanks indeed! and GOOD LUCK...

Weird situation. This is the record:
2014 ASSAULT
2007 (1) POSSESION OF A PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED WEAPON KNOWING ITS USE IS UNAUTHORIZED (2) POSS OF A SCHEDULED SUBSTANCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRAFFICKING
2003 POSSESSION OF A SCHEDULED SUBSTANCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRAFFICKING
2002 THEFT UNDER $5000
2002 (1) ROBBERY (2) MISCHEIF UNDER $5000
They asked him TODAY for 8 items. I have never seen a client asked for 8 items. Also, why are they looking at THIS file, which was filed in November, when they are clearly still working on Augusts? Unless this is a fluke or one off, it looks like this one was pulled out "out of turn". I get plenty of "request for more information" and they are NEVER way ahead of anyone else.

SEPTEMBER LETTER
This is an overstay, she lived in the US from 14 to 29 years of age. She was granted a 5 year waiver, and then re-applied and is thrilled she never has to apply again.

CIMT in 2018. Sentencing ended 2020. A very good personal letter (IMO) and support documentation regarding rehabilitation, over one year of targeted therapy, and community engagement.

I was denied entry in June 2021
@kfcmagnet it’s only been 5.5 months and the lead time right now is ~8 months so I’m not really surprised!
Oh, does the date you were denied entry figure in a lot? I have an incident from 1999 but wasn't really denied entry until 2015. Waiver application in now (Aug 23). Also curious about the nature of serious charges because this was for a Schedule I drug possession. Is there anyhope?
@J Rogers I submitted my first waiver application in October 2023, after being denied entry to the US in 2019, because of a drug charge while in Barbados in 2016. I paid a $2000 fine and was deported, and did no jail time, and my charge is for possession of 1 gram of marijuana. I did my personal letter myself, but did a good job for sure, and have 3 excellent character references, as well as a negative drug test. Is 8 years since my charge, and 5 years since my entry denial a reasonable amount of time?
