Congrats!!

I think it's completely random. Some just get approved all of a sudden, some get interview letters and some get interview waiver letters. I've had no news re: my I-485 since they received my RFE response on January 6th. :(

Any updates about your AP?

Thank you! I thought "AP" was I-130, instead of I-131. My lawyer did not file an I-131 until recently, not sure what will happen with that. However, I have no updates on I-130 since November if that helps.

Nov 17 2014 - USCIS texts/emails received with case number
Nov 21 2014 - Biometric letter sent to us

Dec 02 2014 - Biometric letter received (Appointment on Dec 12)

Dec 11 2014 - Biometrics done (Appointment on 12)
Dec 04 2014 - RFE letter sent to us
Dec 18 2014 - RFE letter received(Request for Initial Evidence)
Feb 04 2015 - Evidence for RFE received
Feb 10/11/19- Card being ordered, produced, mailed to us

Feb 23 2014 - Received EAD card in mail (was supposed to be 21, delay due to snow storm.)

I believe that now that your I-131 you can send a request to expedite, you just have to prove that you fall under one of the categories that qualify for expedite :)

Good luck with AP and AOS too, I hope we'll hear some news soon. Waiting is hard but there's nothing we can do about it.

We filed in November and today got the "Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case". Time for me to read that thread and get prepared for a long wait!

Has anyone received a notice of potential interview waiver letter?

We just received the letter day. What does this mean? Has anyone else received a notice of potential interview waiver case??

In the letter it also mentions due to the workload USCIS anticipate that delay to be approximately 6 months from the data of the letter. Doesn't sound to good.... :-(

Same for us as well. We have the same online status "we accepted fingerprint fee on 11/13....."

Our online status has stayed the same so far after receiving the letter today.

There's no electronic notification or update for receiving NPIW. All recipients of this NPIW only receive the letter. There will be no update on your uscis account. It will stay as "fingerprint fee" blah blah blah until the Greencard is produced.

05-18-2022: Filed N-400 online. Received online NOA and Biometrics re-use.

06-03-2022: Interview scheduled (online notice).

06-10-2022: Interview letter received via USPS.
