Cleveland, Ohio

We just received ours from Cleveland in April. Here are our stats:I-600A receipted in to Cleveland: Feb 13, 2006Received fingerprint letter: Feb 25, 2006Fingerprinted: March 16, 2006Homestudy received by Cleveland: March 31, 2006Received I-171H: April 15, 2006 I did call them the Monday after they received my homestudy just to verify that they did receive it because I have read people's accounts of them losing their homestudy.

My request was logged in on Oct 23, 2006. My letter for fingerprinting come about 4 weeks later and the date to come was December 11, 2006. My homestudy is not done yet. Anyone know how long to get approved after homestudy and fingerprinting are complete?

In 2004 it took us 7 weeks to get approved. In 2006 we were approved in 3 weeks at that was first of August. I know someone who was approved in 3 weeks in Sept. Someone else who was approved in 4 weeks in October. Someone else who just got there approval yesterday. His fingerprints were done Nov.28 and he received the approval in the mail on Dec. 11. So, just shy of two weeks!!!! Unbelievable. All of this is through the Cleveland Office and the times are when fingerprints and homestudy are all turned in. Good Luck. Hope you don't have to wait long.

Oh My, I am hoping that my approval will come quickly too. The Cleveland office received my I 600A 11/30/06 and I am waiting for my fingerprint date. My homestudy is done, but I had to have some changes and it will be sent in this week. I am anxious too! :flowergift:

We are going through our second I171H (we're still waiting for referral so our first approval will expire soon). The first one was very quick. From the time they received our homestudy it was about 3 weeks 4 days. We were refingerprinted in Sept. and received approval in Oct. We are sending in a new I600A as soon as we receive the updated homestudy so they can both be sent together. We don't have to be refingerprinted. Here's hoping this one goes as fast!
