@Samson13245567754467

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.

@Dorsey

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.

@J Rogers When additional information is requested, does that change the status of the waiver?
Or is the request handled only by email without changing the status?

@Willbill

Here is an example for you.

Note this one is done, but

12/08/2025, 11:03 AM : Status changed to Request for More Information

Would be on top until you reply. They email you that "there has been a change in status"

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.
