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

"waiting for an advice"

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

  • I mean, my whole family still won't even talk me on the advice of council and my friends... were just waiting for this to happen.
  • I want to give you an advice.

  • There's no waiting for a second.
  • We were waiting for bobblehead day.

Alternatives:

  • waiting for advice

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

"awaiting for an advice"

The correct phrase is 'awaiting advice.' 'Awaiting' already includes the idea of waiting, so 'for' is not needed after it.
  • We are awaiting the advice of these bodies just now.
  • I want to give you an advice.
