We've been waiting since April, planned on calling in October since the letter says a decision should be made within 6 months. We were a January filer and following their thread there's still lots of people who haven't gotten their cards yet either but they are slowly trickling in, there's been more posts about acceptance in the last few weeks so I'm hopeful!

I'd rather get interview than be a waiver one for my case. Waiting for up to 6 months is way too long.

I need to visit homeland ( 5 years never met parents) for few weeks in December with hubby, when it's the only month he get long vacation from work. Yet, I can't start working too as I planed to leave by beginning of Dec. obviously, I can't stop working or take a long vacation (4-6 weeks) just after 2-3 months working. Therefore, I'd rather not to start yet.

I can't leave without GC. ??? And I have no idea when it's gonna come too. My big plan could be ruined and got lots of financial lost due to the waiting.

What should I do to get GC ASAP ? ???

P.S I did not apply for Avanced Parol as I heard it's better to leave with GC.

You can expedite your AOS process there are some reasons that USCIS will accept your expedite request you should call them and ask .. any reason you will go for you should provide them with document that support it.

Good luck

Of course it's better to leave with a green card but until then, that's why Advanced Parole exists. You could have just filled in one extra form and had AP with your EAD in August!

You should file for AP as soon as possible. With your I-485 still pending, there should be no charge. Your green card won't be expedited just because it's convenient for your vacation, so I wouldn't even bother wasting time on that.

Thanks your advices. I'm sending out AP application tmr. From now on to Dec, GC or AP, whichever comes first, I just use it. It's better than just waiting for one thing.

Hi folks!

Just curious to see if anyone who received their notice of a potential interview waiver in June have gotten any approvals lately? It's only been like 3 months for us but one can wish. Lol. Our 6 month deadline is Dec. 27th...which will really likely mean sometime in the New Year because chances are no one will want to do work on the holidays....gah!
