ARO Reports Current Average Waiver Processing Times of 120 days

Earlier today, we learned that the ARO is currently reporting an average processing time of 120 days to adjudicate waiver requests pending before them (I-192's, I-212's, INA §212(d)(3) favorable recommendations from Consulates around the world) in response to an inquiry we had placed with their office a few weeks ago (The ARO does not generally post processing times). Unfortunately, while the 120 day represents an 'average' it is not a guarantee that waiver requests will be processed within this timeframe, given security background checks, etc. Most recently, we have seen waiver approvals ranging from a time period of 2 months, 4 months and even longer.
