Because MANY people log on here to see timelines, not discussions, lets keep THIS thread ONLY for timelines. Then people don;t have to sift through to find out how long they are taking. I was trying to amend the old one but it got deleted, so I saved the last page, and added a bit to it. My apologies if you were looking for old info. The page was getting spammed all the time and had a lot of comments on it.

As for the timeline......when the fees went up the backlog slowed these applications down. That backlog is GONE. They could get every application they have done by Thanksgiving if they want. They do NOT want then done quickly. If this seems like "why would they do that?" then you aren't paying attention. Notice Canada has tariffs for made up reasons, and we have been threatened by Annexation. Notice Russia has not a SINGLE TARIFF. Notice Trump met with Putin in Alaska and got embarrassed. And STILL his "friends" have tariffs and the Russians.....nothing.

Re-application. He had a 2 year waiver, now they dropped him to a 1 year waiver.
Overstayed 2000-2016 he got married, tried to get a Green Card, was denied.
He was born in Israel, but he is Palestinian. I do not know if that is a factor, but he got a 2 year under Biden, 1 year under Trump.

When YOU REPLY, they then change it to
02/12/2026, 02:54 PM : Status changed to Request for More Information Response
Any time things change, there is a change in status.

They actually give you 87 days to respond, but day 1 is the day you get the RFE.
I have had them respond in a hour, up to months later. But USUALLY its far less than 60 days. They don't have a time limit that I see where they have to respond by. 30 days is a good guide, but it can be really fast sometimes.
It looks like 344 days is close to Average but only for NEW applications. (or if the person has let the waiver lapse for too long)
I am still getting in waivers from March 2025, I have not gotten any Aprils yet, and I do have a couple of waiver from February still pending.
The emails are easy to miss, so make sure you check it every week if you are getting closer.
