My DS is a second year applicant and last year was not issued a waiver. He received his TWE in the final week, what a rollercoaster last Spring was for us all. Anyway, I have read that they will not issue a waiver unless they are truly looking at/considering a candidate. Is this just wishful thinking? Also, he has a completed app with the exception of his first semester college transcripts which will probably not be received until January. Is it just sit an wait now, which we became VERY familiar with last year
