We are mid-late November and just received our biometrics waver: "As of May 28, 2021, fingerprints relating to your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number LIN21900*****, have been applied to your case."

 

I am glad to see some movement for those of us between early-Nov and Feb.

Thanks for posting. Just got an update as well that fingerprints were applied!

we filed mid oct. 2020 (receive date 10/15/2020), got our biometrics waved sometime in late november. i check the case status probably about once a week and i did it a few days ago, and there was nothing new, but today, i got an approval letter in the mail! it says that my card will get to me within 60 days but i just checked my case status again and usps has already picked up my card and it's on its way here. it took well under a year; that is so much faster than i expected!

 

fingers crossed for anyone out there experiencing radio silence 🤞🤞

Congrats!! No interview then, I am assuming?

 

8 months is REALLY good for LIN, which was moving very slow until fairly recently.

We filed in June 2019 and its still showing our case is ready to be scheduled for an interview (as of June 3, 2020) but we haven't received anything else as of that point.  We tried submitting a case inquiry and it still shows it's within normal processing times.  Should I be worried?  Do I have any options for either speeding things up or trying to get more information?  Thanks all!

Unfortunately there isn’t, it all depends on how many cases are ahead of yours at your local office. I am not sure but when checking the case processing time tool, one of the options is all field offices, and processing time is between 18.5 to 34.5 months, I think this must be the window they provide for these kind of cases. Once you are outside the window, you might be able to have someone to check on your status. Hopefully it won’t take much longer. Good luck!

Some hope for LIN filers. I did not expect to be approved for another half a year at least but today unexpectedly I found out we got approved!
Since they received our petition it took them 5 months! Maybe things are speeding up! Fingers crossed.
