waiting for an advice

This phrase is incorrect. 'Advice' is an uncountable noun and does not require an article 'an' before it.

The correct phrase is 'waiting for advice.' 'Advice' is an uncountable noun, so it is used without an article.

awaiting for an advice

This phrase is incorrect. 'Awaiting' already implies waiting, so using 'for' after it is redundant.

The correct phrase is 'awaiting advice.' 'Awaiting' already includes the idea of waiting, so 'for' is not needed after it.
