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.
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.
@Job222628 No I did not do it myself thus I cannot login and check the status
When I try to email, I get the generic response that everyone gets 'we have received your application and it is under review' bla bla bla

@YoungAndDumb @MarkD I am a renewal so if that's the case I should hear back any day. I'll keep you posted!
How would they know the difference between renewals and first time applicants before opening the file though? As far as I remember the only difference was 1 question on the application that I could say yes I have had a previous waiver and here is my Alien number. Hope I didn't miss something!
@YoungAndDumb I am also thinking the same. I am a first time applicant and waiting 8+ months.
@appliedjuly22 I am also waiting applied in Dec 01 2023. At that time, they told me that I should expect to hear within 6 months but I am still waiting.
@appliedjuly2022 & @jrogers
Again, first time applicant here, so this is my first time dealing with the process.
That being said, to me it seems that renewals are being handled much quicker than fresh applications at least generally speaking.
I don't know if this is fact if fiction, maybe John can chime in- but it seems like 1st time applications are taking closer to 8 - 10 months, while renewals are being handled closer to the 5 - 7 range.
@J Rogers Is it not super weird that there's still many waivers from November & December still not completed?
@J Rogers I'm getting worried about my March 7 submitted date! Hope I'm not one of the ones being skipped over.
Are you still seeing approvals for early March?
