@ J Rogers,
My GF should be getting her first waiver in about a week give or take a week (hopefully). I'm assuming it may be for 1 year.
My question is regarding when she needs to renew the waiver. I know it's not a renewal per se, but rather a new waiver that happens to be a second waiver. Having said, that, at what point can she apply for the next waiver? Can she apply while the current waiver is still active or does she have to wait until the end date of the first waiver to start an application? My goal is to not have a period of time where she doesn't have an active waiver. Though if we time the next waiver paperwork for the 6 months in the winter we'll have to be outside of the U.S., that would presumably work. Just trying to get my head around next time.
Hopefully within 2 years we will be married which I know changes things.
