Get Dhs Uscis I-601a Instructions 2024-2025

Green card petitions for Refugee/Asylee Relatives have witnessed one of the highest improvements in processing times, from 28.6 months in 2022 to around 14.1 months in 2023. The USCIS has also improved its processing time for work permits in 2023 to 3.6 months, up from 4.1 months in 2022.

ing to recent statistics from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the approval rate for I-601 Applications for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility is 79.6%, with denials standing at an average of 20.4%.

It used to take only six to eight months to get a decision and now, we're looking at three to four years. We've had a lot of people asking about this wanting to know why it's taking so long.

The 84% approval rate combined with the very dangerous conditions in Mexico right now, especially for "Nortenos" who are subject to a high risk of kidnappings for ransom, makes the I-601A worth pursuing when there is sufficient evidence that the qualifying relative will suffer extreme hardship.

The NVC will schedule you for an immigrant interview after the USCIS approves your I-601A petition. Schedule a medical exam overseas and make plans for your departure from the US. Travel to the US embassy or consulate overseas where your interview is scheduled. Expect to spend about three weeks outside of the US.

The average processing time for Form I-601A is between 8.5 and 11.5 months. Make sure you carefully read the section of the Form I-601A instructions about your immigration status when applying for this waiver.
