Sorry to hear about your separation from your husband.

Unfortunately, I-601 inadmissibility waivers filed at Rome District Office could take approximately 2 years. This is how long it was taking in 2009. Rome office is very busy because it processes waivers from many other European countries, not only Italy. For current processing times you can contact the Rome office.
