Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case [Part II]

[Pat80 12]

How long to expect the green card after NPIW?

Couple of months if you're lucky. The longest is currently over one year from USCIS receive date.

It's not processed by order but random.

Good luck!

I think I said last week the OMBUDSMAN normally takes on average two weeks to get involved, so I don't know why they told you when you rang the up they were only dealing with Jan requests. I think, not 100 percent sure that if you look back

Natonstan got exactly the same thing the day he got approved I know he had three separate emails from them that day, or that day and the very next day.

This is very positive! I can feel the GC!!

Happy birthday...God, 22, that was such a long time ago...youth is wasted on the young...

Enjoy! The rest of your life as a 'Merican...

Yeah, I know. My oldest is 35 and youngest is 25...22? Whew, that is young...

Giving your age away there and I thought you were 21!!

Ha!! looks like they sent it out as mass communication because I also just received the same email from OMBUDSMAN...I really hope that we will receive something concrete soon..

[Donna&Noelia 6]

I sent mine on 03/17, but still no update from the ombusdman

I sent mine on 3/20 - our one year wedding anniversary, so the fact they said the 18th was wrong lol ( in my case anyways. )

This sounds like a generic email to me that was just sent to some folks.

Agree! I am so sick of the run around. I was cleaning just a few moments ago, and found a service request later from January that said I would get an answer soon... ( 2 months, still no answer. ) Soon my ###! lol

March 16^th 2015: 10:04AM I got this email:

Good afternoon,

My application was then approved

Then on the 17^th at 12:58PM I received:

Dear Sir,

Thank you for giving the Ombudsman’s Office the opportunity to assist you.

Then an hour later on the 17^th at 1:36PM I got:

Thank you for giving the Ombudsman’s Office the opportunity to assist you.

Just in case you cant find Natonstans post from the OMBUDSMAN, not sure if its the same as what you guys have just received but here we are!

I just was about to post the same thing. I got the same letter. I wrote after seeing Natonstan's post a few weeks ago --- lets hope that they are really doing something.

Just got outta my Infopass appointment. Arrived at 11:15 for an 11:30 appointment, finally saw someone at 12:40.

The officer was really friendly. I first asked about my lost EAD and she told me that unfortunately they couldn't do anything about it and the suggested route of refilling and expediting through my congressman was the best one.

She was surprised at how long my I-485 has been pending. She checked and found that it's at the Hialeah, FL field office and said that was unfortunate because if it was in their office she could have pulled it and got it worked on immediately. She then tried to file a service request to get it worked but because I already filed one online that hasn't yet been answered, the system wouldn't allow it. My service request has an NYC suffix but she said its now assigned to an officer in Florida. Apparently April 9 is the date they must respond by and so she told me to come back after that if there was no movement.
