To add to the list of things you can try:

The problem may be a little more complicated than that the element is just not currently visible. There may be an invisible element in front of it that is keeping it from being visible no matter how long you wait. In which case, there are a few ways that you can still get ahold of it:

Scroll to it with javascript:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", yourElement);

or...

Click it with javascript:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", yourElement);
