I’m mentally drained
Charlie SCOct 31, 2022
USCIS normally takes 5-8 months to forward to DOS. why it took so long for you?
Charlie SCOct 31, 2022
@real real don't be upset. it will only hurt your health. no doubt DOS isnt processing the hardship cases at all these days. not even a single case heard this month.

@Eric Balli any update?
Eric BalliJun 18, 2025
@Abril L thanks for asking! Yes, she got her two year waiver approved last summer. She applied for her green card a few months later, and just had a successful interview last month. We are expecting a final approval on the I-485 any day now!
Abril LJun 20, 2025
@Eric Balli That’s so cool!! I’m happy for you guys, is good to know that they are approving i612. Not too Many people know about this form so is good to find somebody who knows and got approved!! if you dont mind me to ask, in your profile you said your lawyer forgot to complete a form, what was it ?
Abril LJun 20, 2025
@Charlie SC how do you know that they forward to DOS?
Eric BalliJun 20, 2025
@Abril L thank you! We were so ecstatic when it finally came through. as far as the form that our lawyer had forgotten to provide initially, it was the DS – 3035. it’s a department of state form related to J-1 waivers.
Eric BalliJun 20, 2025
it basically provides communication between USCIS and the department of state.
Abril LJun 21, 2025
@Eric Balli thanks you so much for the info 💙
Charlie SCJul 14, 2025
@Abril L When the USCIS I-612 status shows as case pending, it means it has been forwarded to DOS.
Abril LJul 20, 2025
@Charlie SC mine Is showing received since May 2024 i requested a foia
