I don't want to bring you down, but please make sure the post office is aware of you living there.

Also, put a sticker or something with your name on the mailbox if you haven't done so just in case.

My husband's AP Travel Document was also approved. I know this because I check frequently online to check the status on his applications.

Last June in 2007, it was approved and it said that it was sent out, but we never received the approval notice or the travel document. I called and asked about it, but they said it was sent. They said because it wasn't returned to them, someone must've received it. Because of this, they wouldn't be able to send another one!

They actually said to reapply.

It was ridiculous because we definitely didn't receive it, and they said they sent it. We were contemplating on what to do but wasn't sure if we should apply again because we didn't know what was wrong with the not receiving mail problem. How would we know if we would receive it the 2nd time around if we reapplied.

We decided to give it another try, but luckily, my husband's permanent resident green card came yesterday and now we don't have to think about the AP Travel Document or renewing his EAD.

I don't want to bring your hopes down because it's great news that you'll be able to go away on a trip for Easter. But just in case, God forbid, something horrible like this happens to you, make sure your post office knows you live there, and your name's on your mailbox. And if at the end of the day all of this is done and somehow you didn't receive it, give your local district congressman a ring. That's a piece of advice I received from a fellow VisaJourneyer. We were about to send her the information regarding our case when POP out of nowhere, we finally received the green card.

Congratulations on the approval and good luck on the rest of your journey!

congrats!! such great news!!! :dance::dance::dance:

all the best!! (F)

::There’s a laugh in my eyes::

There’s a waltz in my walk

And it’s been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that’s new.. it’s you

‘Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it’s burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it’s something new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

The world’s a different place

Where nothing’s too hard to say

And nothing’s too hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that’s new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

My life, my life

Ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There’s only one thing I want (aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are

For everything you do

For all that you’ve done

Just for showing me the truth

::It’s you...It’s you...Baby it’s you::

Thank you for that advice! Very good point - we live in an apartment and the mailboxes have names on them where the mail carrier puts the mail... Someone on the helpline told me to make sure my name was actually on the mailbox so I had our mailman take the previous tenants' names off and put ours. Hopefully that'll be good. It hasn't come yet but I'm still hopeful it'll be here soon :)

On Feb 20th?!@##@

Are you saying you don't check your status online every hour??????

FOR SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats btw :D

Thanks! Well I probably check every 2 hours.

Congratulations candi! Safe and happy travels at Easter! (F)

Thank you!!

Get out of jail card!!! Congrats!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
