Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case

[AS and SA 0]

So far only 2013 applicants seem to have received them. Lucky us.

If I get one now, then I would add 6 more months to the 7 I've been already waiting for. That's one extra year of waiting compared to those who got interviews. Aint life great.

It seem that the potential interview waiver letters only started a couple of months ago. So, you're probably still in line based on when you filed your adjustment of status. Have you found anyone on the threads who filed when you did and are still waiting? Hopefully, yours will come through sometime soon.

Thank you.

There is someone on here with the same office as I who filed in January and got the letter recently, so who knows?

Late may 2013 filers.

I got the letter last monday.

... Look at the positive thing with this letter.... I now know my application is not missing! Its sitting at NBC.

... Hopefully i will get the greencard before my EAD AP CARD expires.

Good day everyone!

Welcome to the waiting to the club that's all we can do.

I received this letter on Sep. 16 and I sent my application on Apr. 24. One of the other friend in the same state sent the application 2 months earlier (Feb. 24) and she received her green card on Sep. 13 and without a interview. What I can do is just waiting. Hopefully it will be much less than 6 months.

By the way I checked a lot of receipt No. after mine in "my case status" and found some people already received green card and some people were scheduled appointment on Sep. 23. I wonder why I received this letter. I applied for green card before those people.

We joined the club yesterday. June 6 filer. Where is the clubhouse?

I just read about two people here on VJ who had applied in June/July and just got their GC approved without interview. Where is the fairness for people like me who have been waiting for more than six months already?

Could have something to do with where you are locally? I'm in NYC and we applied on 2/21, still waiting..., but I know some local offices are just not burdened with as many apps, so maybe that's why. As with the entire immigration process there really is no rhyme or reason. Just hang in there

I think there is this theory that you are more likely to get waived from the interview if your local office is backed up (and yes, my local office seems to be the slowest in the whole freaking nation; they are currently working on January 18, 2013 applications). I am not sure how true this theory is and how much random "luck" plays a role for the interview waiver, but a friend of mine who applied in the end of July and is at the same local office as me has already received note of an interview!

Bottom line is, I have given up to try to understand how USCIS works. I am just going to keep myself busy with work and spending quality time with my husband, and I will see and wait what happens.

apply for the free combo card (as described in the GUIDES). AND, if necessary, start the EAD/AP combo card renewal 90 days prior to expiration…., 'cause AOS can be a long time coming….

I hope that YMMV.

Good luck.

FREE?????

FREE?????

It's free if you apply for it with your I-485 form, otherwise you have to pay.

And I'm joining the club: filed March 1, got the letter August 2

One of my friends (VA) got her GC after ~7 month without any letters or interview, another couple (TX) had an interview but she got her GC after 3 months from filing!

[Kaaha 6]

I just got a letter that my GC has been approved and I will receive it within 3 weeks. I guess I am a real person now It should give you some hope, it's close. I think that "6 months letter" was just for their protection becuase they had delays. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!

[HK12 273]

Congratulations Kaaha! So happy for you!

PS: Did your online case status change any, or is it still in "Case Not found"? That would be interesting to know.

Hi, guys. I received the welcome notice today and soon I'll receive my green card, maybe next week. Actually I always think I should receive the card soon even I received the delaying letter. Now it became true. So guys don't be depressed after you receive the delaying letter just do what you should do then maybe the green card will come soon.
