Outside of Normal Processing Time

[GhaleonEME 1]

Hi Everyone,

My wife filed her AOS case in April of 2014. Later that summer she received her combo card, which is valid through June. Then in July we received notice that we would likely receive a waiver for the interview. After that... radio silence. It's been nearly a year and the only update that I can get is:

"Due to workload factors not related to your case, USCIS anticipates a delay in completing your case. USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in the order received and in a timely and efficient manner. We regret any inconvenience that results from delays in processing."

Are others experiencing this kind of wait? Another concern that we have is that her combo card expires in just a few months. Should we apply to have it renewed?

As always, thank you for your time.

Chris

Lots of people are in your situation. Yes, renew the combo card. It can be done for free as long as AOS is still processing. Good luck!

I filed in January 2014 and still nothing so im afraid we may both still have a long wait ahead

Indeed, we were April 2014 filers as well. We've just sent off for her EAD/AP renewal. It's a long wait, apparently.

I'm just comforted to hear that so many other people are in the same boat. I don't mind requesting an EAD/AP extension so long as I know that nothing has gone wrong.

Thanks, and best of luck everyone.

Some people contacted Ombudsman and some times it seems like that gets things moving.

We just got our second NOA! Permanent resident card will arrive within 3 weeks.

Petition Date: April 11, 2014

Nearly a full year. Hopefully others will be receiving theirs shortly as well.

Less than a year! thats great. Did you do anything special to speed it up? I filed Jan 26th 2014 and still have nothing, have sent maybe 6 service requests now and they never send an RFE or give me any real info, just tell me that im in process and rhey aim to give me more info in 30,60, 90 days

No, we didn't do anything special. I submitted one service request in February but that was it.

Best of luck!

My case is outside normal processing time too, I sent my file in September 2014, then they ask for a RFE I send it, after that they transfered my file to a local office, and now I´m hanging in there since February, and no answer untl now... I sent 3 inquiries and 1 in writing and nothing happen....anyone who is stuck in a local office too??
