PLEASE CALL 911, USCIS GOT ME LOST (APPROVAL NOTICE SENT)

[bilson4real 2]

I just got an email from CRIS that., approval notice sent on 06/02/2009. Does this mean that my GREEN CARD has been sent? USCIS is getting me confused; making a fool out of a Master degree holder. As you guys may well know that:

1. I filed on 08/17/2008

2. Approved on 04/16/2009

3. Approval letter in the mail on 04/18/2009

4. Card production ordered 2x; 05/20/2009 and 05/28/2009

5. And, yesterday 06/02/2009, approval notice sent.

Again, is approval notice the same thing as GREEN CARD? Please help! I am an illitrate for the moment. Thank you all.

You should know that because as you have said, you are a Master's degree holder. You should know the difference between a "notice" and a "card". Wait for your green card to reach your mail box.

And as you have said here in your user portal you filed for naturalization but then you are talking about your green card???????

This one shows that you think that having a green card means that you are already a citizen...

It means an approval notice has been sent to you and that your card has been produced and will arrive in your mail in a week or two. An approval notice is a confirmation of your filed case at USCIS. Did you file for naturalization too? update your timeline..

I agree!

The fact that he holds a master's degree doesn't magically entitle him to know every single aspect of the immigration process.

Is it true that if you tell USCIS that you have a Masters Degree, in recognition of your intellectual prowess, they waive the verification process and send you a green card with no questions asked?

Thanks for your intelligent responce. Your level of education does not matter when it comes to the unconventional ways USCIS operates. How can you explain it: when USCIS approves a case about a month ago, sent an hard copy of an approval letter, ordered the production of your card two times within a week - with different dates, and now turn around to send an email that approval notice sent again.

I am not an idiot, I know the differnce between a notice and a card. The logical sequence after 'card production ordered should be 'card mailed'.

My post is just meant to further expose the inadequacies of USCIS. The most immigration savy, and well educated might and will never understand the unconventional ways that USCIS operate. USCIS will sometimes put the cart before the horse. It will sometimes send a CRIS email that 'approval notice sent', and what you will see in the mail will be the actual GREEN CARD. USCIS will send your card before your get approval notice in the mail. Your case could be approved now, and latter be pending approval at CSC. Approval notice, the GC, transfer notice, and more junks could come in the mail at the same time. Where is sequence or logic?

I put the question out there because I know somebody must have received the email that says 'approval notice sent' and end up getting the GC in the mail. So, I'm not stupid.

It could also mean that since the OP now meets the requirement to file for naturalization he has done so. His naturalization process just gets halted till he gets the GC but the first part of it can be done prior to finishing Removal of Conditions.

Thats true but then he was the one that wrote first to let everybody know that he has a Master Degree...

Csoul and the like, stop hating! The issue here is not about having Msc degree or not. I never intended to show off my educational achievement. I was just making a point that USCIS could make a fool out of the best mind. I am fully aware that many among us are PHd holders and more. I never meant to raise my shoulder or blow my triumpet. Please, let's talk about the real issue and leave the non issue alone. God loves everybody.

You'd think someone with a Masters degree would know how to properly spell "illiterate."

I doubt he wanted to show anything off... he was just making a sarcastic comment, why all these harsh answers? I have no degree and yet I did not feel offended by his first post nor I believed he was showing it off..

And to respond to the OP, in my personal experience with USCIS, when I received the "Approval Notice" sent email, a couple of days later I received Form I-797D, the one that includes your plastic card, so yes, you might be receiving your 10 yr Green card soon! I say might.. because with USCIS you just never know, but there is a good chance at this point.

Good luck and I hope you get it soon!
