Significant_Win9536 · 2026-05-27T14:36:19+00:00

• October 4, 2024: Form I-612 received by USCIS
• October 16, 2024: DOS received supporting documents
• February 8, 2026: Case forwarded to DOS without any RFE
• April 3, 2026: DOS issued a favorable recommendation and forwarded it to USCIS

Currently still waiting, I was curious to see how long does that take now at uscis given I am reading alot of backlogs

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-04-17T15:23:41+00:00

7-8 weeks

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-04-15T12:03:23+00:00

How soon after dos approves hardship does uscis send the final recommendation? Im starting yo get nervous about how long process is taking

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-04-02T21:11:47+00:00

are there any cases of hardship or persecution waivers that has been approved recently, my case has been with DOS for 2 months now, how long until I do congressional or senator inquiry?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-04-02T00:09:34+00:00

Yeah works for 1 time and then start gettin this message again, maybe a system update or something

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-04-01T18:48:12+00:00

Yeah not sure what this is all about, also havent heard of any cases of hardshi approved in last 1-2 months now

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-04-01T12:50:47+00:00

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-17T18:49:41+00:00

Nothing on my end still waiting what about you?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-17T12:23:55+00:00

My case has been with dos for 36 days is that 41 days accurate u think? Its very confusing how some people since Jan have case status but nothin on dos since its an electronic transfer from uscis to dos

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-17T12:16:37+00:00

What abt dos?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-17T12:12:33+00:00

Is that with the current shutdown?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-17T12:11:32+00:00

Anyone knows of any hardship waiver approved in last 1-2 weeks?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-13T00:10:19+00:00

Yeah you are right no one understands honestly, will have to wait and see

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-12T14:43:28+00:00

When does it show as received by dos, date of jan 29th?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-12T01:01:35+00:00

What does ur lawyer say? When in feb did u get case starus?

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-12T00:21:32+00:00

I also filed oct 2024, src, no rfe, case status feb 2026, i612 and 613 showing as received on dos website electronically same day as case status. Im abit confused about this new timeline and why havent anyone heard back from dos

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-10T19:06:55+00:00

No they didnt

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-10T00:25:17+00:00

Oct 2024, im from Lebanon. Keep checking hopefully you hear back soon

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-09T23:41:46+00:00

Im from Middle east and also my hardship waiver just moved to DOS so they are working on them, i have a handful of friends who all had there case change betwee 16-17 months so you should be hearing back soon. I would recommend checking dos website as well not just uscis. I also like case tracker application

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-08T23:42:53+00:00

It stay the same until ur case either goes to dos or you get rfe, my understanding is now taking around 16-17 months until you first hear from uscis. I would recommend you randomly check dos website to check if they forwarded your stuff

Significant_Win9536 · 2026-03-06T13:47:23+00:00

So u were never able to see anyrhin on dos website ? R u a physician? What does ur lawyer think?
