Hi All,
Does anyone know how long it takes for USCIS to issue the approval notice after receiving the Favorable Recommendation? DOS sent FR on April 28th 2022 (5+ months ago), but I’m still waiting for USCIS notice. Any tips, advice, suggestions?
Case status at USCIS still shows “On Hold; On August 25, 2021, we requested another non-USCIS advisory opinion for your Form I-612, Application for Waiver of the Foreign Residence Requirement (under Section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended), Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxx. Processing of your case will resume when we receive the response.”
I submitted a query to USCIS about 1 week ago (https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do) regarding timeline expectations for this final notice, but their answer was pretty generic; “Our records show that your case is currently pending adjudication. We regret that we are unable to provide you with a completion date at this time. We apologize for the delay”.
We have invested 25+ months in the whole process 😕
Thanks in advance for your time!
