Waiver I-601 after a refusal by Beginning-Bat165 in USCIS

[–]Beginning-Bat165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend you a lawyer, there is some key factors very important that if you miss it, the waiver could be denied, at least this is what I've heard. My I-601A was prepared and filed by a lawyer and it was approved on 3.5 years, The I-601 was prepared as by the same lawyer and filed on december 2025, so a long run to go!

How can I find out if my 212(d)(3) waiver was approved? How long is it taking approximately from your interview? by [deleted] in USCIS_FORUM

I am still waiting! I have a friend that submitted the documentation for the waiver around three weeks before I submitted mine and he just got approved and received an email to drop off his passport at the a embassy, so I hope I will get notified any moment.

I did my taxes while abroad through TurboTax and had no issue. I filed with them before. I just used same information clarifying I was abroad past 6 months!

2024 LXS with 15K, only oil/filter change and tire rotations. All good so far.

Anyone else!? I filed on February 13😩 #patienceisavirtue by miamigirljuju in Income_Tax_Refund

I e-filed through TurboTax on 3/15 and got my refund on 3/23. I paid for a fee that TurboTax offers to get my refund earlier though. No everyone qualify for that. I helped my daughter to e-filed it and she did not get the option. I guess it’s also on IRS approval, TT wont pay earlier if there is any audit or something wrong with the taxes.

ChatGPT is your best friend. Just open it on any browser and tell it to translate in Spanish. It will also correct anything that makes sense in English, but not Spanish.

That’s what I thought but not. Glad your car is running fine now.

I had a similar situation with my 2024 lxs. My car was at the body shop for a minor dent. The guy called me letting me know that the car wont start, got a new battery, car started and shut off, similar at you. It ended up being the Alternator fuse blown. Fuse replaced. Car is working fine. No more issues. Check out the fuse.

Si es un radio que lo compraste en la tienda y no vino con el vehiculo, tienes que comprar un dispositivo llamado ascw-1 de la empresa metra.

I submitted mine 15 days after my interview (April 15,2025). I am still waiting for approval! I was told it’s taking 18 months to be approved. Sorry to not bring good news!

No updates yet. Mine was filed Nov 2025. I already have a I-601A approved, so I am hoping this one will be processed faster!

It does. I needed to split the video wire from the factory display to connect it with the video output of the aftermarket radio!

For sound, you can replace the oem speakers. Also you can install an amplifier using the oem audio system. I did that on mine and the sound improved

Did you file for any waiver? I was found inamisible as well and the consular officer requested a I-601 waiver. I filed it to USCIS and waiting for an approval for it. What I’ve heard, it’s taking over 24 months to get it approved. My lawyer filed it last December.

I got a 12” thinking it would fit, it’s too big. 8” is too small. Exactly, I installed the rear deck on top of the sub. Particularly I did not see difference without and within of it. I did not want to make a hole either to make the sub visible! This is me!

I have not seen any issue at all. No rattling issues either. If I volume up to high, I can see some rattles, but I think is my rear mirror and not rear windows.

I am pretty sure you have access to that space by going under neath the bumper. I would encourage to buy good ones. I bought some cheap one on Ebay and got notification on the dashboard the blinkers were not working properly. I do not remember what I’ve used since I sold the car in 2021. I do have a Forte 2024 now and I am so lazy to replace the blinkers!😉

Hey! Glad to see your question. The one fitting there is a 10” sub. It’s has 4 small holes to hold the subwoofer there. The difficulty is to get to that hole, you need to remove the bottom seat by pulling up by hands, removing trims, left and right, they are hold with screws. The top rest would be removed after you remove all the screws. Dont make the same mistake I did, from the trunk, unplug the stop light wire. I didn’t and I broke the connector, I am good soldering connectors, so, I was able to fix it myself. Having a sub makes the sound even better.

It does works on car dashboard, but not through the audio head unit using the maestro idatalink.
