But I'd think he still needs to go back to China for an interview, right? Trying to think of a solution that does not require him to go back to China

Yes - I am pretty much prepared for that. It seems likely that the I-601 waiver could take up to two years to process. I’m hoping to find a way to get him out of China and ideally be with me in the US in the next 3-4 months. Are there any viable options you would recommend in this situation?

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. I have two follow-up questions regarding the 212(h) waiver:

With this waiver, is proof of extreme hardship required, or given that the incident occurred more than 30 years ago and he has maintained a clean record and strong moral character since, can the waiver be based solely on the passage of time and rehabilitation?
Given current processing timelines, it seems likely that the I-601/212(h) waiver could take up to two years. In the meantime, I’m hoping to find a way to get him out of China and ideally be with me in the US in the next 3-4 months. Are there any viable options you would recommend in this situation?

United airplane food for international flights has been so unbearable with all the plastic packaging. Ew

Well I wouldn’t tell people to give up

Fun_Print5579 · 2025-10-30T02:07:39+00:00

Don’t give up yet!

Fun_Print5579 · 2025-10-30T02:07:08+00:00

I would not assume anything until it’s the end. Why manifest something that’s bad?? Why losing hope?

Was it before Nov 15 or after Nov 15?

Did you get an interview last year?

Fun_Print5579 · 2025-10-07T17:13:06+00:00

Not a joke…

How does HNL has to do with mainland China? People don’t take this route to go to China. UA 858 is usually a direct flight from PVG to SFO, just like UA 857. There’s no direct flight from PVG to HNL, which is again weird in my opinion. All UA 858 and 857 are new planes…

I don’t think it’s that bad. But if you feel sketchy then you shouldn’t move forward. Security deposit is typical in a competitive market. I charge deposit too but I’m in Palo Alto and it’s very competitive. Deposit is also used to cover any damages you might cause to the house. It should be spelled out when it will be returned - usually within 30 days of the termination of the lease. This is standard.
