As some of you may know we had our interview last month and was requested to send in affidavits by the 5th of the month, which we sent in before time. However, we didnt notice until after the interview that the officer added I-601 waiver needed on the request for evidence form. We had establish during the interview that I didnt need a waiver because I wasnt ineligiable based on an arrest but he said that he would have to confirm with his supervisor. I dont know whether he just added the waiver on there in case I did need it but we didnt submit a waiver.

So we went to an info pass to find out more information and they were unable to give us any help so the only thing we could think of was writing the same address again, although it stated that all evidence must be sent in at once. We submited a letter stating why we did submit a waiver, and evidence showing that am still eligible based on section 212 classes of aliens ineligiblity and didnt require a waiver, as well as the affidavits that we had sent in previously.

what are you guys thoughts....I know its only the 16th but we havent heard anything yet?

hey luckygoat we had the same case. we had an interview last month and after the interview the officer gave us the paper ( Continuance for I-485) want us to send more pictures so we did send it after 3 days and until now we haven't heard any news. Yesterday we did an Infopass and the lady said our file is still unreviewed and we have to wait between 30-60 days again. She dont even know if they got all the pictures that we sent in. So what we did we wrote a letter to the officer who interviewed us and follow up our case, we also attached in the letter the proof of delivery from USPS.

Did the officer gave you the letter that says "Continuance"?

Luckygoat, I am so sorry that you have to go thru this! did you consult an immigration lawyer before you submited everything just to make sure it's correct and complete?You need to keep scheduling infopasses and if it doesn't work...google senators in your area and contact one of them in this matter. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. Me being a smartass did everything myself even tho my friends advised me to consult with a lawyer and have a lawyer present at th einterview. Im still very optimistic tho. I will schedule another appointment next month if I dont hear anything. And I think we can wait another 2-3 months before really goin further to the senator etc.

Not he just gave us a request for evidence form for some affidavits and promise to send us an approval letter once sent. We also did the confirm delivery thing. But talk awhile to send the affidavits in becuz we were waiting for one from my family back home....but we did send it with in the time frame. I think it take them awhile to start back on a case when more evidence is requested due to all the new cases...so im not really worried. keep me posted on how it goes for u. Im so sick of checkin my mail box everyday

Since I wrote a letter to the IO who interviewed us. Today, I got a respond from a different officer telling that my case is actively processing however they need additional review. It says in the letter that I have to call them or make an infopass if I dont hear anything from them after 6 months. Hopefully, we get an approval before 6 months.

If I were you I would schedule infopasses every month, I wouldn't wait 6 months. Don't let the dust cover your file!

What was ur initial reason for writing the officer again? Because you didnt hear anything from them after u sent it in? I cant believe they actually responded to you. how long ago was ur interview?

I wrote a letter to follow-up my case since it has been a month since we had our interview and sent the RFE and until now we haven't heard anything from them. So they responded to me telling that my case is actively processing but needs additional review. I don't know what do they need to do for that "Additional review" since I already sent in the RFE. I am planning to make an infopass again after a month if nothing happens.

Yeah thats what I would do to make an infopass after a month and probably write a letter again or contact our congressman. How would I know if my case is out of the processing time frame? Our interview was May 2010.

Your case is not out of the processing times yet. There is a section above "Processing Times" where you can check what cases are currently processed by your local USCIS office. Your case will be out of the normal processing times if you see that your local office is processing cases that were submitted after the date you initially submitted your AOS application. Typically, if 180 days pass after the AOS interview and still no decision, you are definitely out of the processing times.
