Waitingfor Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hey, anyone got the approve recently? It took 8 months from USCIS to DOS, and DOS just received the I612 and I613 one week ago, wonder how many month DOS need to make the decision? So stressful! Quote Link to comment
Memory Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hi Waitingfor, Can you share your timeline? USCIS received our case on July 7, 2017 and I haven't heard anything yet. Thanks, Quote Link to comment
Waitingfor Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hi, Memory, Here is my timeline: USCIS: Case received at June 6 2017 case is hold January 26 2018, DOS: ds 3035. etc. March 28 2017 I 612,I 613 Received at january 29 2018 if you case is also sent to California Service Center, maybe they will send out to DOS in the next a few weeks. Did they ask you for REF? Quote Link to comment
Memory Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks Waitingfor for sharing your timeline, Yes, our case is sent to CSC and I think CSC is the only one processes hardship waiver now. I haven't heard anything from USCIS yet (except receipt of notice saying they received the case on July 7). Quote Link to comment
Waitingfor Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think USCIS just too busy. Your case should be sent to DOS soon. When did you send your DS 3035 and other forms to DOS? Quote Link to comment
Memory Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 DOS received our documents on March 7, 2017. We sent documents to DOS before filing I-612. Quote Link to comment

Jazz246 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yes, i emailed them but got a generic answer that an officer is reviewing your case and you will be updated accordingly. Quote Link to comment
Waitingfor Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi, Power, Did you try to contact the congressman, and also i heard sometime there is a delay update on DOS web side, you may just find your final approvel notice in the mail box from USCIS. Quote Link to comment
