Oh Tina, sigh. I'm sorry. I contacted the congress woman we talked to with the K1 and she came back with the info that our case is potentially an interview waiver. Which, bc I follow these threads, I replied very upset with well, that's fantastic (sarcastic) bc they are taking a year to get ppl their greencard and she was actually telling me that no, this means it should go faster! I am about to reply to her and copy a person's notice, bc this is ridiculous, and Matt's medical expiring before he gets his greencard is a real possibility.

Sorry, Johan doesn't have his EAD yet as well. :( :(

We got an email just a bit ago that his EAD has been mailed. Silver lining. Ha

Edited to add: yes, it should be faster! I mean, it's waived. Send the card then and there!!! I have never understood the (lack of) logic that goes with this process. Johan's medical will expire on may 9th. 3 days before the magical 6-month date. *eyeroll*

I know of someone that applied around the same time I did, received the NOPIWL in June (just like I did!), and have already been approved (a month or so I think).

I honestly have NO idea how they go about processing these waivers, I just know it sucks!

Anyone from May/April/March with waiver letters that have NOT received their Green Card yet?

I think your question might be better asked in the reverse i.e. are there any March/April/May filers who HAVE received their green cards yet? I saw on the February 2014 AOS filers thread today someone asking what to do now that their 6 month wait was up and they still hasn't heard anything!

I searched through this thread and the last approval I could find was in August for a February filer! It's appears to have really slowed down.

Derwood, I was NOT talking about AOS filers, I am a February filer myself. Since this is a thread on the waiver specifically, I meant EXACTLY to ask whether there are any "Notice of Potential Interview Waiver" recipients from March/April/May that have not received the green card yet. ;-)

I gotcha! I haven't seen a single instance of anyone in the NPIW club, that filed after February. saying 'YAY I've been approved without interview'. Not one. Maybe they are just keeping very quiet! Anyway I'm a July filer so I shall butt out :-)

If you look in the AOS timelines, you'll notice that 2 February filers have been approved in the last few days and 1 of them notes that they received the interview waiver letter on 06/05. The other doesn't mention it, but hasn't filled in an interview date, so I'd assume the same for them.

Not sure if this means anything for anyone else, however!
