UPDATE: I got a letter today saying that my interview will be rescheduled. It came bundled with another letter that confirmed the cancellation of previously booked interview. The reason they gave was "unforeseen circumstances". So unluckily, my interview isn't being waived, even though Status: Decision was in the email sent to me a few days ago. 

Hi. It’s been awhile. I noticed this question many times and going to plant the information here. 
Every case is so different and we can speculate all day long. 
 I have no idea why we were waived an AOS interview and received the green card after the letter you outlined above. 

My timeline is on my profile and we have a 16 month old little one with a 20 years age difference.
 I can’t tell if it was sent to us in error or why. 
On 11/3/20 After the green card was in hand and months later a de scheduled interview notice was sent to us and the last time I’ve been on VJ. 
I’m waiting patiently to see if maybe they schedule the interview Post Green card but nothing yet. I believe that happened to @Sarge2155 after the waiver as well and they ended up  with an interview. Another stated if we changed our address than it can prompt the de schedule notice.

That is the last we have heard from USCIS and even called to make sure. 
We HAD just bought a new home so either made sense.  
I under the frustrations and the feeling of waiting on letters to arrive. 
I still wait every day and save everything in case we do interview Whether after the fact or for ROC. 
Either way the immigration journey is far from over but would do it all again if needed.  
That while stressful, and at a time like this, that I’m thankful we have each other and hurt for those that are apart. I remember those days. 
Anyhow, Fingers crossed for you and wish all of you to stay safe and well in 2021.

You have your GC already and you had a interview scheduled too? Well if they cancelled that interview they caught their mistake since you already have your GC. Wait for the cancellation letter to see what it says. When did you get your GC  and what date was your interview  scheduled for?

Ryan was issued the green card around the same time your wife did. We are the ones from Chicago.

Sorry I changed my screen name it was originally Sarah n Ryan. 
Chicago has been shut down awhile so maybe it just took a bit longer to catch up with us.
I’ll call tomorrow and see what they say. Happy I had my alerts on as we have had nothing or heard nothing for a very long time. 
Oh well.
We were ready and just need to dust off the packet we had ready and than add some. 
I don’t mean to intrude on the post but seen you mentioned us on this post from Chicago (probably not just a Dallas thing) and guessing it will be any of us waived from AOS and scheduled during COVID shut down on the K1. 
I haven’t seen the other couple waived from Chicago but my guess is she will be back on VJ checking like I did soon enough. 
Thought I’d update and think we probably are now scheduled even though it says de schedule/cancelled. 🤷‍♀️

I have no idea why they would do this,  no one here on VJ has a clue either. GC has been on hand since April. Original interview was scheduled for April 17, then cancelled, then went back to ready to schedule, then to new card being produced. It's all in my time line under  AOS comments with the exact dates if you care to look.

@Sarge2155 
Ryan and I today received an alert we were descheduled or cancelled for an interview. I guess we await notice in the mail? I’m searching everywhere and can not find out why this alert and expect we have a letter approaching ? 
 We bought a home about a month ago and did a change of address but after reading maybe we will now have an interview ? Craziness. I thought we were done. 😂

What did your letter say ? 
He’s had his conditional green card for while. 
Anyhow, Hope your well and it’s been a while.
Any help on this would be amazing or maybe because it was our 1 year anniversary there are sending us a congrats letter  👌

A bit baffled. 
Sarah 

Signed.🙏

Make sure you verify email address to be counted. 
Seriously, So sad ... I’m speechless

Ours actually came a day before it was expected  so be on the look out on Wednesday. You are in there now, this is NO ERROR!

Green Card came in early this morning🙏🍾🎈🎊🥂! 
Pretty sure we will see many more on the way.  
Officially taking a small break until ROC. 
We found this site after submitting the K1 and initially paid for RV Premium Processing. 
The rest of the process we decided to DIY with guides and advice here. 
At times very frustrating and not feedback we wanted but needed to hear. 
In hindsight, appreciated. 
From the new to tenure VJ members that make up this site, the knowledge is priceless. 

Thanks Again! 
Sarah n Ryan 
 

Added Ryan without a SS number. Updated it later.
Massive increase in my payments of course. 
But, I did sign that I’m responsible for my husband and would have added him regardless. 
 I asked HR before he arrived. I did get push back and jumped some hoops. 
I was told the exact same thing. 
Eventually had a ss placeholder short term. 
You can definitely ask for an expedite. 
But be persistent that a ss number is not required, they will add you. 
Good luck.

Approval by mail also came today. So happy! 😁 And for you as well. 🙏

That’s amazing Congrats!🎈🍾!  I know of 5 cases now. My husband and another couple that was approved came from the same field office and same apt day. 
IDK how or why just feel super lucky. 
Pretty sure we may see more and more waived if your apt was already scheduled and cancelled. 
Amidst all that the world is going through,  it’s nice to see some good news.

Yes it comes  very quickly. They will send you a tracking number with your next status. Next status is card picked up by USPS. After you get the tracking number it's a matter of days before the card is in hand.

Just received the update of our tracking number. Says it will be delivered Thursday. Getting very real now. This may just happen.  Ahhhh!!!! 
Thanks @Sarge2155 for your help on this step.

Ok.  That makes it much easier. Thanks !

It's real my friend. No way it's a mistake.  I said that once I was notified, but at this late date and seeing how there's been several  waivers before yours IT'S REAL!!! I'M  so hoping that many others  are waived. Congratulations and it's ok to SCREAM. %$## this is soooo exciting.

@Sarge2155 update was “Card Mailed to me” on April 10th. Does it come pretty quick and through USPS? How long was it for your wife to get in hand? Curious as to how often we should be checking or how long it took ?   You were right but want that card in my hand first. 😂 

Thanks

Next time we’re in Indiana, we’ll look you up

That would be amazing and I’ll pm you. I have to show you this lit up and your Breville 👍. 
And not the pms in the past stressing over the interview. 
Want to know why ?  We got approved yesterday. Yeah.
Still in shock that I’m done for awhile with this. And still a relief writing it ! 
Cheers 🍵 !

Update this thread when you get it. When we were waived, it wasn’t about massive evidence submitted because all I sent with AOS for marriage evidence was the marriage certificate.  

Best to the baby girl 🌷🌸💖

Same here- basic packet and the mandatory. 
Trying to find a reason and looked at our copy. 
Can speculate but no clue. 
We threw in the lease from our Townhouse, Baby Girls BC, she’s 8 months now(huge daddy’s girl), and Electric in Ryan’s name. 
Definitely will report back.  

If I could invite you and your wife over for some well over due tea, I would.  
Hated tea and vowed I’d never drink it.
He picked out a pretty elite set up when he arrived home for good.
Never knew kettles light up blue. 😂😂
Officially now a tea junkie 💯👍😊🎊🎈! 
 Be safe and well .. thank you!

Omg, congrats @Sarah n Ryan! All these waived interviews has me so excited 😆 It's so nice to see people getting good news with everything going on in the world right now! 

For sure. I knew of @Sarge2155 and then another that was scheduled the same day and office as ours.

Hoping you see yours soon too @yoda one for me.  You’ve been very helpful to us and thank you !

@K1visaHopeful  -  yesterday on 04/07 we received New Card Being Produced and today 04/08 is has changed to Case Approved for i-485!  We had a Interview scheduled for 04/15 and got the cancellation notice about last week.  We are very excited at this because we were certainly not expecting it! 

We were schedule the same day and same office, approved as well. Congrats @nidcaudi23!

Woke up today to get the notification it has been cancelled. The disappointment is strong 😔

 

We had our interview cancelled today as well. 
 It was for April 15th. Just happy he at least has EAD/AP. We are back to “Ready for Interview to Be Scheduled”. We have not received the letter in the mail yet but such is life. Back in the wait pool.  

Congrats @Sarge2155! So happy for you. I know you had long wait times. 
Fingers crossed but Definitely long overdue and deserved 🎊🎈🤞! 

Please disregard if this has already been posted but this is the new notice I just received on one of my apps.

I know it’s horrible for everyone whose interview/biometrics/oath ceremony got cancelled due to all USCIS offices closing temporarily and I feel for you.

 

Yes, our local office was just closed to so I’m awaiting a new date for interview. 
We have our EAD and honestly I’d rather error on the side of caution in terms of any gatherings for now. 
Hoping all of you get your EAD approvals quickly. 🙏!

Those should be moving along I would think since “in person” is not required. 🤞
Stay safe and good luck to all of you 🎊🎈.

I would love some good vibes sent to me as the excitement is extremely mixed with nerves!! 🤩🥳

Yes, sending good vibes your way😊.
We are nervous as well but it will be nice to have the approval out of the way and put the process to the side for a awhile. 
Congrats @Meg101.. Wishing you both the best !🎊🎈🍾!!!
