An initial appearance is a pretrial stage in which a defendant is brought before a lower court to be given notice of the charge/charges and advised of his/her constitutional rights.

A waiver of preliminary hearing means that it has been decided, or agreed, that no preliminary hearing is needed and so none will be held.
