You said the USCIS is looking at applications from late January and early February of 2017 but my application was received on January 10, 2017 and I still have not gotten a decision.  Does anyone know why cases that were submitted after mine got a decision while mine hasn’t?  I thought cases were looked at in the order in which they received.  Thanks.

This same discussion is happening in the Nebraska Service Center thread. You can find some numbers/info there too.  Several people are asking the same thing - why are approvals coming in for cases submitted after theirs...it certainly doesn't seem like they are being processed in order, but other posters are certain that they are it's just the nature of how things are processed.  I think anyone who is in Dec 16 should try reaching out to the center or the Obudsman and inquire about the discrepancy.  But idk for sure - they may not answer since things are "still within the normal (haha) processing times".  Can't hurt to ask. Or get a Congressman involved.  It may not help, but it might be worth it.

May have changed but there never used to be a published processing time for Waivers.

They give approximate dates of when an application is being processed. 13.5 month to 18 months. I received the link to review from my lawyer. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/#mainContent You can then input the application type and center for more information.

My husband received instructions in the mail today...601 approved February 28, 2017 (received date December 21, 2016).  We need to complete the online DS260 again, he needs a new police clearance, and a new medical exam.  

does he need new biometrics?

Hi All,

 

I have an i601 waiver pending..any word on March 2017 processing?

 

Mine is June 2017?

 

Thank you..

[kwadwo 7]

Mine is also May 2017 because we dont see the historic processing time its very stressful 

[Cynthi 7]

I know...it is frustrating.  please let me know when yours gets approved..I am thinking May 2017 will get approved round July and June should be round end of August.

 

I hope so..or sooner.

 

Thanks.
