We're approved! That's right, Jose will soon be home!
We called the call center again today, after I was ordered to call by my family who knew that today was going to be the day. They've been saying that we would hear on the 17th since Jose's appointment. They were right, and we were told that our waiver was approved yesterday, on June 16th. Jose's case is back at the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, where the visa will be issued and sent off via DHL to be picked up. Waiting for the visa to be ready should be exciting and I'm sure we'll be impatient to get home, but it will be so much easier to deal with than waiting to hear about the approval.
We don't know when Jose will have his visa in hand and actually come home, but all that matters is that it will be soon. It will take 4-6 days for the visa to be issued, and could potentially take a few more days to have the visa ready for pick up in Ciudad Juarez. We are hoping, and it seems very likely, that the visa will be ready next Wednesday or Thursday. Jose would then be home at the end of next week!
We're going out to celebrate Jose's approval, what should be his last weekend in Mexico City, and his birthday. We're feeling really good!

About our blog
What we're doing in preparation, during, and maybe even after our trip to Mexico for Jose's application for legal U.S. residence.
Jose's immigration process didn't go as expected in August 2009--he was given a three year bar on entry to the U.S.
We were desperately waiting until August 2012 when policies suddenly changed and everything started up again. We're now waiting on his waiver decision and hoping he will be back in the U.S. in June 2011!
