ohh thanks selwad that what i want it to here. an inmigration officer told me that when i was in a detention center but i didnt believe him.
hope everything goes ok for u. after the interview they sent u a notice saying that it was approved or they tell u at the interview. and do u knw how long it takes for the waiver to get approve. do u have to submit two like me or just one?

u r welcom,about ur questions.....ur husband must get alot of documentation something to prove ur real marrige such as photoes with each other and any letters between u and ur husband or a report for all the money he sent to u to suport u since u got deported and stuff like that in case ur lawyer didnt mention to u all these coz this what we did,they told my wife my pitition was approved in the interview and few days later we got a letter from them for that approval,so after this u apply for the waiver and it needs from 2 months to 6 months for the process,i hope i answered what u want,good luck

u r very welcom,if ur lawyer kept saying this is not helpful so i guess u need to change the lawyer and find u someone knows his job,if u need any more information just ask any time and if u want my advise have a hope and dont listen to some disappointed voices here in this fourm .... i feel how u feel coz we live in the same situation and we need a hope,good luck.
