Does anyone know a good lawyer that can help with an I-601A waiver?

I suggest going the Advance Parole route, instead.

The I-601A waiver is a HUGE pain in the rear. No to mention expensive and a much MUCH longer process.

In which state do you live?

I live in Oregon. I don't think Advance Parole cannot circumvent the requirement for the waiver when you go for the consulate interview.

If you obtain advance parole and you re enter with that, it will serve as a legal entry. That will clear your ewi and then you’ll be able to adjust in the country.

I am a visa overstay, not EWI. My I-130 was filed by my mother (so I am not trying to adjust via marriage), hence I have to go back for the consulate interview. That's at least my understanding.

I would double check with your lawyer, or a second lawyer. It sounds like you do not need to go through consular proceedings. You might be able to adjust status.

This is literally my case. Visa overstay, adjusted through my mother and had to get the waiver and now have been a LPR for more than 2 years.

I'm assuming you accrued unlawful presence before you got DACA, correct?

Yes, I accrued unlawful presence. Can you tell me which lawyer you used? I want to hire someone who has experience getting waivers for cases like mine.

If you have legal entry, why did you need a waiver?

if someone has accrued unlawful presence, and is not considered an immediate relative when adjusting status (ex: being sponsored by a parent and the applicant is over the age of 21), they will need to adjust outside of the country and will require a waiver.
