Has anyone who has filed a hardship waiver in the last year received updates on their cases from DOS? Please help post your timelines which would help others at least get a sense of whether there is any movement happening at the DOS and to see if there are any trends in processing times. My hardship case was filed in August 2016 and was sent to DOS by December 19th and am currently still waiting for an update on the case. Hope to hear from others on their recent experiences as well. Thanks,

this is not any official advice but you should talk to an immigration attorney to see if you would be able to contact a credential evaluation company that would review your coursework by either syllabus and transcripts of your classes taken in addition to all the work experience that you have. Please look to have an Education + Work experience credential evaluation done. information used for old approved H1 petitions does not mean a renewal or new application would be approved with the same information. having a four year degree or an equivalent to US bachelors degree (based on credential evaluation) would be important for any future employment as well as I am sure compensation/qualification for many (not all) IT positions would be dependent on this.
