Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case

[Natonstan 129]

Hey everyone - update! You may remember we received a REF for our vaccination record? Well we sent in another copy - with a cover letter stating this was the second copy that we were sending in and if they required anything else to help resolve our application, to get in touch.

Well today ... we received an email that our card was (finally!) in production. 11 months on! YEY!

FYI: Application acceptance was 04/02/14, Interview Waiver 07/10/14, Decision made in the Los Angeles, CA office (although our local office is Baltimore)

Good luck everyone still waiting - I hope we now see a flood of card productions!

That's great news! So did you literally just send them the same vaccination form? That's what I'd do to be honest with you

Congratulations!!

An April filer? I am thinking the date is perhaps in American format?

So 2 approvals in a day, I think I need to rest now. I am in shock.

how did you guys predict the date of GC?

[Derwood 202]

just got a txt/email this minute from USCIS .... card is in production.

For reference, I485 AOS received date was 3/24/14 and waiver letter was dated 6/27/14.

About ****** time! Congratulations! You are one-step nearer being done with the USCIS.

Its a game we have invented to see who is the most psychic and who is the most accurate.

Local field office is Lawrence MA.

Ill let you know where the card came from when it gets here ... hopefully in a few days.

The card always come from Missouri, NBC. It's the field office which interests us, not always your local one, but thanks any way.

The cards are actually produced in Corbin, Kentucky but come in a Lees Summit branded envelope. Unfortunately if you don't get an RFE from the local office processing your case you don't get to find out which office pressed 'approve'.

Was it a copy of the original vaccination form you sent in or did you have a civil surgeon complete a new one?

Congratulations!

Not all are at the NBC, some do escape and end up in random field offices. Nlhernan's has. Up to 60 days once they get there. Interesting!

Thank you Shell!

Maybe cases which sent random to field offices are good news to them. Maybe Filers in April were sent out random to field offices?

Yep same thing, all from one place that doesn't tell you which field office.

Sorry Shell, I wasn't trying to be contradictory. Being a nerd I'd read these articles about EAD/GC card production a while ago.

It's just a guessing game we're playing.

Thanks Derwood, I think I must have missed that somewhere, I was thinking that people were finding out which office approved them.

Yes literally copied the original and sent it in -with the covering letter (saying this was the SECOND copy we had sent in). I figured the worst that could happen is that they would send another REF asking for a new vaccinations record from a state civil surgeon. Thankfully they didn't - and accepted the second copy. I guess they lost the original somewhere in transfer ....

Also yep dates are in American format - I am trying to train my brain into doing this - but I was an April filer last year

Good job keeping those $$$ in your pocket!

and also note my above edit from 'was' to wasn't LOL. Sorry!

..but I was an April filer last year

Ahhh!!! My NPIW is dated 07/10/2014 as well-- So I must be close!! I filed April 8th though, and Fingerprint fee was accepted on the 11th.

Congratulations by the way!

That's why I predicted 3/28. That's close to 60 days from transfer to NYC FO...

So even at FO with processing dates well beyond ours when ours are transferred, we still wait...So even when FO processing dates should make a difference to us, they still don't...
