Hi all, Just an update - just got back a few weeks ago from my trip to the USA, having waited 5 months for my non-immigrant B2 tourist visa (including waiver of ineligibility) to be approved. I must say that while I was waiting in Hawaii to go through immigration and have that usual...

Congrats Damien - a great feeling isn't it?! Once it arrives at the Consulate, expect about 7-10 days before you get it back.

I left my passport there as it takes less time that way, but no biggie if you took it with you. Only will add a day or two to the process once you're approved. Unfortunately I can't provide much more advice/guidance other than to say it'll take 21-26 weeks to process and you should make your...

I sympathise Damien81, but there's nothing you can do. 20 - 27 weeks is the time it takes and there's nothing you can do. I have been through what you're feeling and it's very stressful, but try to relax in knowing that there's nothing you can do. Believe me, I tried.

That sounds about right, Bella. You should have the passport back in your pocket within a week or two - not longer. Great feeling to get it all approved, hey!?

5 1/2 months, yeah. No choice when it comes to the matter. I'm sure if I needed it for other travel that I might have been able to get it back until the visa ineligibility waiver was approved, but I didn't need it for travel so didn't need to go there.

Sorry just to put a fullstop on this. It took 1 week for them to actually process my visa, and another couple of days for it to reach me in Qld. So I physically now have my visa. Very excited. So in summary, from my interview day until when I actually received the passport back with visa...

Sorry mate, hadn't checked this forum for a week. Yes, I received two emails - one confirming the approval, and the other stating what the next steps were from there. A week later and my visa still hasn't been issued, but I'm sure it's not far away now.

Hi everybody, I am very pleased to say that I received notification yesterday that my visa ineligibility waiver application had been successful, and my visa is in the process of being administered and my passport sent back to me. That was 1 day short of 21 weeks or almost 5 months. The relief...

Hi guys, Just an update for those after some advice, as per my earlier post. I'm at 20.5 weeks and still waiting. My cut-off for my already delayed honeymoon is at the 27 week mark so I have everything crossed that it comes in the next few weeks. I'll let you all know when it does. This...

Thanks for the responses. Has anybody reading this EVER been able to contact ANYBODY from the DHS who can give an idea of timelines/order in the queue for their waiver of ineligibility? I'm not wanting to jump any queue (although that would be nice!), I just want to know ANYTHING about how long...

Wow, 28 weeks is a VERY long time. Did you know to get in so early for your interview at Sydney? Has your fiance received a visa before?

Hi guys, I've read through most posts and was after a bit of advice. In 2003, I was found guilty of theft as a servant (over a $15 DVD). No conviction was recorded and obviously moved on with my life and not been in any trouble since. In 2009, I went through the Sydney consulate and obtained...
