Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case

[Marino4ka 0]

As I've never called them up I have no idea of the process, what information they ask for when you call etc. but I'm wondering if someone else is calling up and quoting the wrong file number, or if the customer service person is inputting the wrong number for someone else?

They basically ask you why you are calling them lol, then they need you case number, alien number, first and last name.

My guess is that there must be glitches in the website...lol no other explanation

YAY!

I will do the same!

For once, their ineptitude can do some good!

Well no glitches when I look at my case status, same old fingerprint fee has been accepted, blah, blah, blah. Here's a thought how about human error??? lol

Interview waiver cases can be adjudicated at any office. The reason your case got sent to NJ was because they had more staff or less of a backlog - it could have gone anywhere.

For travel all you need is your EAD/AP combo card and passport. You will probably be sent to secondary inspection when you get back to the US which is fine. Make sure you have sufficient time for any connecting flights.

Arm yourself with pages 1, 2 & 44 from the following document and show it to the airline agent if you have any problems checking in or boarding your flight:

Thanks Derwood, your information is very useful, that Carrier Information Guide is a big relief!

Attending this biometrics appointment maybe a good opportunity to try and get some face-to-face information regarding your case. Where do you currently believe your case to be?

I believe it's still at the NBC. I'm not sure if anyone at the application support center can give me any further info?

You're more than welcome. It's a really useful document and takes the stress out of traveling on AP. Have a great trip.

I have no idea but I suppose it's worth asking. Good luck!

Yes I have had experience. I took my AOS noa1, my marriage cert, as my passport is in my maiden name and my card. Only trouble I had was booking in online had to do it at the airport and then register on the machine as a permanent resident. At border control in the USA they knew the card, took me for 2nd processing which took about 5 mins and that was it, other than they told me once I got my GC to use the permanent/citizens queue! Be prepared to receive your GC whilst abroad someone yesterday in Austrailia did just that!

Okay thank you shell20, it seems that the 2nd processing is a breeze!

What about my husband too? lol

Did you file them separately?

Oh no, Im so very sorry, Happy belated to the Hubby also!

The attorney said that he mailed them together. But remember he mailed them to Lee's Summit instead of Chicago lockbox, so im wondering if the AP application got lost or a problem with it. I have no way of knowing.

As I said, it takes at least 60 days to approval after arriving at a FO...The optimum words are AT LEAST.

Are you sure it arrived on 1/4? I think it's telling to all of us that rotting is not exclusive to Lee's Summit...That is why I expect our SR response this week will tell us to wait a lot longer...If we haven't already...

Do I have anything in writing saying that it made it to the SFV office? Nope. So I really dont know for sure where it is. Just the word of a Tier 1.

Yesterday, I randomly checked each case to see any approval for I-485 on USCIS website. I feel that USCIS is now mostly working on NOA dated 03/24 cases.

However, I don't know why some of early march filers still have not get approval yet and now waiting for over 1 year.

The approval rate is very low, it's lower and lower everyday. I have no hope even I will get approval by April.

When I joined this thread I didn't realise I would be posting that much I would end up being a Platinum member!! lol

Did you ring them in your sleep?? ha ha ha ha

When I joined this thread it was 1 yr and 3 months old with 34 pages and just over 500 posts. Weekends were dead. Now look at it. It's morphed into a life of its own. Probably the most active thread on the forum. Hardcore posters like you and a cast of others (characters?) have served to make this process tolerable in that we can see others in the same boat: commiserate, vent, gripe, laugh and celebrate in a matter of 2 or 3 posts. If you can't laugh at all of this; you're not cynical enough yet...don't worry, like a good beer or tea, it will brew...we sure as beck have the time...

We received the notice of potential waiver case in October and now we're just waiting.

Welcome!

What I'm unsure about now is if I still need to attend my biometrics appointment. The appointment notice only references the case number for my EAD renewal, so it seems it may only pertain to that. My initial appointment last year also had a barcode and case number for my AOS.

Maybe I'll call and ask.

Did you apply for AP renewal at the same time?
