I did some research on no. of interview waiver cases approved in each month. If I'm not wrong, it looks like they significantly reduced working on interview waiver cases since Sep 2014. Don't know the reason why but I hope they will speed up or do something this month!

FYI

No. of cases approved in month

AUG'13 - 30

SEP'13 -62

OCT 13 - 40

NOV 13 - 63

Dec 13 - 30

JAN 14 - 28

FEB 14 - 34

MAR 14 - 58

APR 14 - 46

MAY 14 - 49

JUN 14 - 41

JUL 14 - 45

AUG 14 - 43

SEP 14 - 23

OCT 14 -8

NOV 14 -12

DEC 14 -10

Even though this represents a biased sample (those who apply and also post on this forum - the true numerator and denominator are unknown), your research is interesting and greatly appreciated. I only anecdotallly noticed this while reading through this thread over the past several months. The trend is interesting and also discouraging. There was no comparable drop off last year. We can only speculate why. Here's hoping that a new calender year will show a reveral of the trend.

What is interesting and I do not believe that you noticed is that though your Service Request number ends with your geographical locale (TMP), the your letter comes from the Santa Ana, California field office. In my estimation, that means that you case is no longer in Missouri and in fact has been transferred to that office for processing. I would be willing to bet you will get notice of action very soon...

Does anybody know if the medical exam time is reset , if you had to go to a civil surgeon for missing some vaccinations ?

Example: medical exam was done in March, but was it incomplete. Went to a clinic to get the vaccines, then to a civil surgeon in July to fill in the missing vaccines on the I-693. Does the medical validation go by the one in March or July ?

On December 24, 2014 we received emails/texts saying the permanent resident card was ordered for production. On January 2, 2015 we received an email stating it was mailed out by USPS. We have just received the welcome letter in the mail.



We filed the AOS with a receipt date of February 22, 2014. We received a waiver letter on June 5, 2014.



Hopefully the card will arrive in a day or two.

Came across this PDF document from USCIS from a couple years back, basically mentions extending the year medical in case of USCIS backlogs, thought people might find it interesting: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/Static%20Files%20Memoranda/Extension%20of%20Validity%20of%20Medical%20Certification%20on%20Form%20I-693_123009.pdf
