Hello for everybody!

I decided to clarify a picture. What happens with petitions which fall under AWA? If you are one of us, or know somebody who went/going through it, please, tell were you approved, denied or you are still waiting?

Please, tell whow long did it take or taking?

I know, timelines is a great source of info, but I attempt to put it all in one place.

I hope that will be helpfull info not only for my restless mind but for many other people.

I can start.

1 case: denied.(Got RFE at the interview with 30 days timeframe. Didn't met the deadline. Denial decision in 6 month. Total time 11 month.)

2 case. Pending. (18 months from filing to interview. 5 months since interview - no RFE, no decision... nothing. Waiting. Total time 23 months so far.)

This is a legal perspective of the AWA as it relates to the way the USCIS has chosen to implement it prepared by the American Immigration Lawyer's Association.
