a. if you get transferred to a local office and they set you up for an interview you will get a email letting you know that you are getting an interview as well as a letter in the mail telling you when the interview is.

b. you will not get an email if you are a "Potential Interview Waiver Case." What will happen is you will get a letter that states that you are a potential interview waiver case and that it could take another six months to process your case and that if they schedule and interview or need anything from you they will let you know.

how do you request interview waiver???

You cannot request that your interview be waived, it is a 50/50 chance for those who have applied for AOS from a K-1 visa.

Thank you for your response. My question is, aside from a letter from USCIS stating possible interview waiver, will I know when my case is forwarded to the local field office for adjudication if that's the route USCIS goes? Our petition for AOS has been submitted and accepted since September 24th. I've noticed that other September filers are ahead of me regardless of which path is taken. Some interview waivers have been processed, and some local field office interviews have been done. I'm just trying to gauge what's going to happen. As of today, the Cleveland field office is working on April 29th, 2013 for the I485. Whether or not we get an interview waiver, it looks like a long wait.

Hey there Ronn63,

As I had mentioned above, "a. if you get transferred to a local office and they set you up for an interview you will get a email letting you know that you are getting an interview. The USCIS online case status will say 'Interview and Testing' as well as a letter in the mail telling you the date of the interview."

You will get the online case status first then a letter in the mail telling you when your interview date is.

I received the interview waiver letter in August. I didn't receive anything until October when I received an RFE for a new G-325a, I noticed it was addressed from my local office, the only indication that my case had been transferred from the NBC to the local office. Had I not received the RFE, I assume I would not have received any further communication from USCIS until my case was either approved/denied which according to the interview waiver letter, it said do not expect to hear from us for at least 6 months. Fortunately after responding to the RFE, may case was immediately approved, so no 6 month wait!!

Good luck!!
