Any idea how long it takes? The vermont service center processing time says that they are processing July 1st, 2017 case right now. Is it true? I have seen people getting their waivers within a month after USCIS receives I-612 from DOS. My waiver is based on no objection. Thanks! I am in the Same situation like you. November 15th- Sent the application Feb 23- DOS sends Favourable Recommendation to USCIS Feb 27-Received the Notice from USCIS in the mail Mine is also in the Vermont service center. Link to comment
