Finally got receipt date for 601a waiver for my husband, @ Potomac

Sent I-601A:  8/7/2018

Receipt Date: 8/10/2018

Check Cashed: 8/16/2018

Mailed Postmark from Potomac to CA: 8/20/18

Received in mail: 8/23/2018

 

Based on looking through posts, expect biometrics appointment around Sept 10. Then we wait.  Anyone else at Potomac?  Very little on I601a processing times for Potomac yet?

And now APPROVED!!! Lawyer just called, got in the mail this morning, 3/4/2019!!!  Our mail is slow, haven't received yet!

I don't even know the exact date approved but it's approved!  Funny lawyer started to say the next part goes through Ciudad Juarez, and we had to remind her... umm my husband is not Mexican.  He's from Peru, so it's Lima!

 

I'm infinitely open to love & happiness now - a huge weight has been lifted!!!

Today I submitted a case inquiry to the USCIS website, they replied back with an email saying I should hear something before March 26th, another 3 more weeks waiting 😖 our waiver is outside of processing times, Received July 3rd, Biometrics done 08/20th, more waiting to be done. 🙄

Hello! We are waiting on approval for my husband's waiver. Our lawyer let us it could take 6-8 months for approval after biometrics appointment.  Our case is at NVC. Timeline below:

 

Receipt date: October 25th, 2018

Biometrics Appointment: December 4th, 2018

 

Does anyone have a similar timeline? Please let me know! We are anxiously waiting for approval.

We sent ours Oct. 2nd  and had our Bio done twice (not quite sure why) We are being processed in Nebraska?  Where are you?  Also, we have an account set up for notifications and our case was update on 02/20/19 so I'm guessing either the finger prints are in or they maybe working on our case.

So they sent you guys two appointments for biometrics? Our case is being processed in Nebraska as well. How did you set up your account for notifications?

This is where we created an account  https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/displayLogon.do  we entered our receipt number and I try to only check once a week...it's not working I've been checking everyday lol.  Yes, they had us come twice, the guy that worked at the center thinks maybe the prints were not clear. I am praying this process goes smoothly for you and you loved one.

Hello, 

Our application was received on the 1st and submitted on the 15th

Biometrics was July 16th and our 601a waiver was just approved  February 18th. The website said it would take 8.5 months so i guess it was accurate in Nebraska.

I had a couple of questions for some that have completed the process.  How do i find the NVC status? they ask for a number but dont have it. Also how far in advance do you have to buy plane tickets? and what kind of questions they ask in the interview? 

This threat has been helpful!

Thanks.

You can go to this website to check your case status https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==  you should wait until you get an interview date before purchasing a plane ticket.

Hi everyone! Should we start the countdown from the Receipt date or Biometrics? 🤔 My receipt date is September and Biometrics November 2018. Tia

Already did my fingerprints on Feb 28th. Please do update on how it goes after I would love to hear from someone from Peru!  Thanks! So happy for you and your family!
