AOS FILERS: DECEMBER 2008

[Forever Young 1]

Good Morning All,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I received a CRIS email saying that Ken's Green Card has been ordered for production! I've updated my timeline & will update our spreadsheet!

I was not expecting it so quickly, considering that we were not called for an interview! I know people that filed in July/August and were just approved and were notified about their card production last week! G-d is so good!!

Have a blessed day everyone!

Gill & Ken

Hiya All, just wanting to check if there i anyone who is in a similar position to me at the moment.

I filed I 485, I 765 and I 131 on Dec 22,

Got NOA's for all 3 applications dated Dec 26 2008, and biometrics appointment letter for Jan 21 2009

Received an RFE dated Jan 6 2009

Attended Biometrics appointment on Jan 21 2009

Responded Feb 6 2009,

Received notice that my response was received and processing was resumed on Feb 12 2009.

Its now been 4 months and 6 days since my original filing date, and 75 days since my case processing was resumed, and I havent heard anything from USCIS. No transfer notice, no interview notice, no EAD no AP, no other RFE and no Intent to Deny application.

My husband and I are planning to travel back to Australia on June 5th to celebrate our wedding with my family, so we have just over a month till we leave, and still no AP.......

I made service request in march, and all that i got back was my case is received and pending.........

I called USCIS today, and the guy I spoke to was an a*@hole.....I asked very politely to be transfrerred to an immigration officer, 3 times, and he refused. He was so rude in answering my questions, and didnt help me with anything.......at all.

What do i do???

Im completely at a loss, and I know I havent been waiting as long as many others have, so I feel like im complaining, Im sorry if it sounds that way...

Really needed to vent after that USCIS guy.

Hope everyone elses cases are going a little better than mine.

Heres hoping that the good news fairy comes this week....

Hey, I'm in similar position. You can see it from my timeline below.

It's been 55 days since my case was resumed and 141 days since my filing.

I'm going crazy too. I will try to call USCIS next week. Hope I will get something.

If I were you, I would do infopass and ask for expediate AP.

Im worried they wont accept my request to expedite AP though, because, its not exactly an emergency....We are going for a wedding celebration......I hope they will..... Well I hope your case starts moving soon too....

hi Diazy, we called yesterday at there 800 number, told us to callback after 30 days since i received my welcome letter.

Hello,

I'm in exactly the same position. My "Welcome" letter is dated March 30th. I am still awaiting my card. I was getting nervous as a lot people appear to receive theirs in a matter of days after approval letter. I called USCIS yesterday. The customer service rep told me to post an I-90 to National Benefit Center to replace a new one as my green card may be "lost in the mail". He also suggested I make an infopass apointment with USCIS in Chicago. I went there today and was told to wait a few weeks as it may still be in production and not to mail the I-90 form. He said if I still haven't received it in two or three weeks to come back in for an I-551 stamp for travel reasons and then consider mailing an I-90. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions.

There may just be a general delay with card production at the moment. We'll see.........

Hey guys, I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but..

I've received 3 emails from CRIS concerning the production of my green card. Two of which were identical but sent on different days (the, your card sould arrive in 30days) and the third one states this:

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On April 30, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

The first two were dated the 27th, but this one is worded differently and dated april 30th? Anyone receive something similar? Is this something to be concerned about? I think they both mean the GC is coming which is good. eek.

Thanks in advance!

I think one just means the card was produced, whereas the other means it's been mailed. SOrry!!

We had to change our first interview because we moved to Michigan. I was so worried it would take forever to receive a new date, but we have our interview on May 16th!! YEAHHHH!!

I will let you know how it went.

I just want to say this forum rocks!!!
