You know I am sick of this whole thing, my NOA is expiring soon and I don't want to deal with that whole Infopass bull to get the stamp.

Has anyone read anything (on USCIS website or something like that) that says you have to get that stupid stamp?

I'm not planning on travelling anytime soon and I have a hard time believing sirens are going to start going off if I don't get the frikin' stamp. It's not my fault they are taking so long! If for some reason it made you an illegal to not be without the stamp you would think they would tell people on the NOA what to do if they aren't approved in a year....

SICK of the BULL !!!!

Muergana-

I am pretty sure that you don't need the stamp, it is only for travel purposes or other times when you need to easily prove that you are still legal. We were told by one USCIS employee that you didn't have to have it for traveling as the POE officer could find it on the computer. Don't know if I really want to risk that, but the point is all it is, is a stamp on a piece a paper stating that it is still in the system. If you don't have it it doesn't mean your GC expired. Just like if you lose your passport it doesn't mean you are not a citizen. I would actually think they would prefer people not going in and getting the stamp unless it is needed for travel or a job or something similar. Lightens there load.

Anyway sick of the process too, however our citizenship app seems like it is going quickly. Thinking that it will beat the i-751 process.

During June we had 7 approvals. During the first week of June we had 1. During the second week we had 2

During the third week we had none

During the fourth week we had 4 approvals.

So, If they keep going at this rate, we should all get approved by the end of July, there are only 7 people left on the list, 2 from May and the rest from June.

That should mean that you are very close to approved, maybe you are next!

how do you check these numbers? when i add or subtract a number from my 63 it shows other types of petitions (i-131). I really hope we will be done this week.

Add or subtract numbers until you find next CR189

well, some numbers are approved, others still not. all the numbers below are approved, does that mean they forgot me?

They haven’t forgotten you/us, I think it based on that there are more than one adjustor in action and some I 751 takes more time than other. That’s way we have this random selection perception. Our approvals will come very soon,, we talks about days,,

Thanks and I am sure it will be soon. We got an email today at 10:30 CST. Don't know when the NOA was since we lost that letter early on.

Still wishing you guys luck for being approved before the 4th. And hope that info pass appointment isn't a hike to get to.
