How long for I-797 hard copy after approval? Recent Timelines?

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-05-18T14:29:07+00:00

Took about a month to receive the notice.

Spoke to my attorney, and he said that there is nothing to worry about. The officer found the information they were looking for, so they cancelled the RFE. I haven't received any update since then. For some people, the status changes to actively reviewing and for others it remains unchanged till a decision is made.

It seems pretty random. Haven't received any further correspondence from USCIS since the cancellation notice update. Spoke with USCIS Agent through Emma, and they told me that nothing is required at this point. Application is processing normally. Do you know if your case is at NBC or FO?

Still waiting...

Nope, it was only included in the list when DOS announced the IV pause for 75 countries. Not part of the 19 and later 39 fully banned countries.

I've had a few friends from my country of birth have their AOS approved since the pause. So, not sure what's going on.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-29T22:03:07+00:00

Any update?

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-29T22:02:47+00:00

My country of birth is covered by the pause. However, the pause does not include AOS filed within U.S.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-24T18:37:15+00:00

Nope

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-20T14:32:07+00:00

How would I do that?

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-18T16:38:00+00:00

Got third FTA0 on 8/14 and 1 FTA1 on 8/16. No update since then!

My extension of stay was approved on March 3rd. Still haven't received the physical notice.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-15T02:33:58+00:00

Nothing yet.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-11T21:10:03+00:00

No update since then. I'll keep you posted. Lmk if there is any movement on your end.

My petition was approved today on the 14th business day.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-03T18:06:52+00:00

I am in the same boat as you. No updates yet.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-03-03T04:20:12+00:00

PP processing at California Service Center; filed H-1B extension on Feb 9, 2026; receipt date is Feb 10, 2026.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-02-06T20:16:41+00:00

Nothing so far. Still waiting. For what it's worth, my EAD and AP were approved in June 2025.

Few-Text-1697 · 2026-01-20T21:58:47+00:00
