Letter from Homeland Security

[Sarah&Oscar 4]

Has anyone else gotten a letter from Homeland Security saying that due to work overload, the green card process could take up to 6 months? My husband got that letter in the mail today. It also said that he may not need an interview (which I know happens all the time). Has anyone else gotten this letter? Is there any light at the end of the tunnel here? 6 months is way too long!

Had the same letter but was approved 3 weeks later. But others waited for months.

In sort it does tell you your in the system.

Hope your with the onces that don't have to wait that long

If you search on the forums you will find this letter is common for K-1 AoS applicants.

If you wind up having no interview then it will probably take around a year to receive the green card in the mail.

Thank you so so much!! There are some positive and negatives in there. Crossing my fingers that it won't take as long as they say. My sisters husband got his gc after two months. Lucky duck!!
