DV 2016 Administrative Processing Cases

ok got it. went briefly over the link with I-601 instruction and do believe this is the one I need to file. in general it states that CIMT should not apply however one of the exceptions (if was not imprisoned for 6 months or more) qualifies me I believe. Also my refusal form states 'you are eligible to apply for waiver..."

I'm sorry to keep bursting your bubbles, but I believe you're reading that paragraph in isolation. First the instruction clearly states who may use that form to apply for a visa waiver - K or V immigrant petitioner, of which you're none.

It further states (just so anyone with a K or V immigrant visa petition who has been found inadmissible doesn't think they automatically qualify to file the waiver) such a petitioner must:

With the application, you must establish one of the following:

  1. You are inadmissible only because of your participation in prostitution, including having procured others for prostitution or having received the proceeds of prostitution, but you have been rehabilitated and your admission to the United States will not be contrary to the national welfare, safety, or security;

  2. At least 15 years have passed since the activity or event that makes you inadmissible, you have been rehabilitated, and your admission to the United States will not be contrary to the national welfare, safety, or security;

  3. Your qualifying U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident relative (spouse, son, daughter, parent), or K visa petitioner would experience extreme hardship if you were denied admission; or

  4. You are an approved VAWA self-petitioner.

But if you insist on filing the waiver, good luck to you. Although I suggest you google cases that filed such a waiver and see the approval rate.
 
I don't get it, it states ""If you are an applicant for an immigrant...." I think immigrant part was one of the criteria.
Anyways I will just take your advice and not apply

When it says "immigrant", it's referring to a K or V visa immigrant, because a T NIV petitioner who has been found inadmissible is also eligible to use the I-601 waiver form - it's not intended to be a blanket phrase applicable to all immigrant petitioners inherently found inadmissible.

And I honestly would rather you don't go by my "advice" if you're convinced otherwise of the possibility of a successful waiver application in your case. I'm not advising anything - but basically sharing what I know of with regards DV petition denials and the waiver process.
 
I am tempted to apply even though I will not make it in time but who knows perhaps I will get lucky again and win lottery in the future.
The only thing holding me back is if some goofball will deny me and it will complicate my "normal" US travels which I conduct on regular basis. I guess I need to consult a lawyer.
Hopefully the official IV CIMT refusal, however considered unjustified, will not result in Visa Waiver Entry related complications for you going forward. Here is what I found on CIMT & Visa Waiver/ESTA http://www.usvisalawyers.co.uk/article13.htm or http://hub.unlock.org.uk/knowledgebase/travelling-to-the-usa-the-esta-form-and-moral-turpitude/ There is additional information on the web you may want to review, i.e. http://www.usvisalawyers.co.uk/article7.htm (Waivers of Ineligibility, Paragraph A & B). It probably would make sense to consult with an experienced immigration attorney in order to avoid potential complications with Homeland Security, who have access to your information, down the road. Best of luck!

Yep, I was born in Poland and this is why I was able to apply. As to my education I hold a post secondary certificate of Electrical engineering
 
For all those who feel sorry for me - no need. It is not like I had to have it. My life in Canada is not that bad, for all those that really need it I truly wish you all get it :)

Hello All,

I am happy to tell you that after being in AP for 110 days I was cleared and received my Passport Today.
Wish you all good luck and keep faith.
My story below.

im a DV-2016 winer from Morocco i passed the interview on March 24th all went good and the CO told me "your visa approved" and i will receive my passport within 10 days, but after 5 days i received a call from the US consulate and told me that i have to provide a new contact person address in US and the one i provided when i filled out DS-260 is not accepted ( i think the reason of refusing the address is that one week before my interview a friend provided the same address as we are both going to be hosted by the same person).

whenever i contact them they tell me "your case is still under administrative processing and we will contact you once the process is over".

when i check my status on their web site it says "issued" since I passed the interview.
