Old TSC cases transferred to VSC

[Yashar 0]

Also, in case there are others with the extra stress due to filing single for removal of conditions during this looong wait, I filed as single after my divorce finalized.

One last question to those who had learned that they were approved in the previous days, how long does it usually take for the card to arrive (from date you got the e-mail notice)? the reason I am asking this is because, I have made an infopass appointment for next Monday to get my passport stamped as my 1 year extension was to expire at the end of this month. I just want to make sure that I do not cancel the appointment and then find out the card production ordered e-mail notice was some kind of an error... you never know

From our experience, the card arrived within 5 days - Gustavo was approved on 12/3/07 and the card arrived on 12/8/07 - best Christmas present ever. I would assume that should happen for you, too.

James, when you anticipate the approvals of 02/26/2008 (last touch cases).... with your calculations?

I'm not sure they really have split up the 2/25 and 2/26 last touches. But assuming they have, and they're approving the 2/25 ones first, it would probably be close to 3 weeks before we see a 2/26 approval, at least based on a projection from what's been going on with our group.

Good to see so many approvals. I just don't understand what order they are getting approved in because March and April NOAs seem to be getting approved and I am a February NOA and have not yet been approved. All the same at least there is hope now, I just wish they would do it according to NOA dates.

well.... if you take in consideration that they split the list in 2 (touched on the 25th and on the 26th) there is a pattern right there... obviously the ones touched on 02/25/2008 are getting approved before that the ones touched on the 26th... so... you will get approved soon, I am sure that same slow ### cis officer has your case, but... nothing to worry about!

Just checking in again ... congratulations to all the new approvals!!!

I haven't gotten my card yet, but I am hoping it will arrive some time this week.

This morning (@10.30am ET) I got another email from CRIS stating the following:

Application Type: CRI89 , PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On April 7, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

Didn't see anyone else posting sth like that, but it looks like nothing to worry and they just seem overly communicative lately

My last touch was also changed to Apr 08 - kinda weird they are still 'working' on the case after they ordered the card. They better not be changing their mind about it

I don't think there is an order. They probably just got all the files that were received on a certain date and dropped them in a box, out of chronological order. Perhaps it's in order of alien registration number? Or there is no logical order to how it's being done? All I know is that the list is moving and we'll be done soon!

I have a feeling it is in order of when the actual card expires and not when your NOA came. My wife's card (with one year extension) only expires on July 7, 2008, even tough our NOA date is March 23. (yeah, we filed as early as we could)

If people listed their actual card expiration dates, then we'd know for sure.

But congrtulations to all! I hope we're soon. I check at least a dozen times a day!!
