Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case [Part II]

[MovinOn 32]

Derwood it took from March 2nd to April 22nd approval. So the normal time is about 2 months for renewal to be approved from the time they receive it.

UGH....a bit disappointed with the results of talking with an arrogant Tier 2 rep. This was the first time to call and I did find out our case was at the NBC.

Then was lectured about there is no timeline for AOS and how he was a seasoned agent. The government did provide an EAD/AP card that can be renewed as many times as needed while the application is reviewed. Almost saying....what else could you want!

I asked if we were out of normal processing time since our local office is processing Sept 24, 2014 applications and our NOA was June 9, 2014. I was told not to look at the local office timelines.

He went on to explain that after the case is processed with the extensive background checks they do, that is when they contact the local office to schedule an interview. When I asked, "but will we still have an interview since we received a NPIW?" The phone went dead, either a bad connection or I was hung up on.

The good news of the day was we were able to do walk-in biometrics appointment at the local USCIS for the AED/AP renewal.

Good Times!!!

Wow, another Tier 2 hanging up when questioned. They did it to Derwood last week. So that is something I am going to address to the ombudsman and to the White House. At least they are consistent and predictable though! Glad it wasn't me ringing up that would escalate straight into a complaint! It's getting old and damn right rude!

You not heard from the ombudsman yet? Surely they are past the 45 business working days by now?

Thanks MovinOn. I hope that RFE comes today!

Thanks MovinOn. I hope that RFE comes today!

Me too! I have changed from being excessive with checking my case status to checking the mail box! LOL never ending!

What the extensive background checks that they do before they issue your EAD/AP card? The FBI fingerprint check and name check that usually run in less than 48 hours ... BS!

They hung up on me last week when I very politely questioned what they were telling me. I can't wait for the first Tier 2 officer to hang up on Shell ...

Shell, thanks for your reply......

I think 45 business day would be next Wednesday May 20th.

I am so sorry that you were treated that way! Welcome to America! I am so embarrassed to be a citizen and to hear immigrants talked to this way. Again I am sorry

Hello all,

Just an update. We received the "Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case" on December 30, 2014 and received the AOS approval status update on May 6th, 2015 (last week). Just got the I-797 Welcome to the US letter in the mail yesterday.

Good luck to all waiting!

[MovinOn 32]

Immigrants are what made this country, mine came from Ireland and Germany. USICS please dont treat good honest people this way. It is horrific!

OMG, I was drinking a cup of tea and I had to spit it out before choking on it! That is SO funny but SO true. To any Tier 2 officer who might get me one fine day, I might be 5ft and weigh around 105 lbs, but I don't take bad manners very well!!! I can be quite the little Rottweiler when someone is rude to me. It might mar your day, if I put in a complaint, but that is nothing to what has happened to the people on this thread, youve ruined our first year of marriage!! Thanks a lot!!!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy!!

I am glad they sent it earlier as they took such a long time to send you one of the yucky letters, its weird they took that long, but then there are no set rules with USCIS. I suspect they just make it up as they go along!

Go celebrate your "Welcome to America"!

Hey Folks,

I got a letter from USCIS to submit a new I-693 so I have to go through this now...Here the picture of the letter..

Does anyone has any suggestions where to find good doctor in Columbus who won't rip me off to do this...Do we know that how much it would cost to get it done?
