I see you are adjusting frim a k1 visa. We (k1) have the advantage to have an interview for the GC or not having it and get our gc anyways. Usually, if the NBC decides you need to have one, it takes 4-6 month. But if they decide you can get the gc without interview takes 7 to 12 month to receive the GC through mail. Mine took 9 month and 1 day. Having the interview waive is very common in this days and they usually don't send any kind of notification, just wait and wait. If you dont have a pending rfe or any other notification in a few weeks you are probably having your intervuew waive, which is great but don't expect your gc anytime soon, I wouldn't hope to get it by this year maybe spring 2014

Hi,

Today I have received Notice of Interview Waiver Case. I understand that now I have to only wait and wait. But how it works? Will they just directly send GC in mail?

Regards.

yes! basically you don't have to do anything else just wait. I don't know for how long. Once you receive the "welcome letter" (which is basically the last approval) they will mail you your gc within days. It's great that now they are sending "interview waive" letters. A year ago when I applied, you had basically need to guess if you were having an interview or not. best of lucks

The Interview Waiver letter is just a form letter and does not necessarily mean that you WILL have to wait another 6 months, just that you MIGHT. I have seen people get their GC approvals within weeks of the Waiver notice. We're all in the same boat.

Yeah, I am hoping for my approval every day too. It's been a long 7 months going on 8 months for me, but sitting around feeling sorry for myself does not help. Just gotta keep a positive attitude.
