Green Card after the AOS interview

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I finally got the letter with the appointment for the interview. It'll be in August 8. Now, does anybody know how long it takes to receive the green card by mail after that? Or if the approval gets marked or noted in the passport, in order to be able to travel out of the US for Xmas and come back with no problems in January while waiting for the card? We are just wondering if it would be better to apply for the AP even when we already have the AOS interview appointment.

Does anybody know? Thanks for your help!

If you get approved at your interview, you may or may not get an I-551 stamp in your passport. If you request it since you may have to travel, the officer may conisder giving it to you..

The GC should arrive within 3 weeks of your approval. AP is not valid once you become a permament resident, so it would do you no good in that case...

Thank you Zyggy, I'll try to request it in the case they don't stamp my passport... I just hope they don't get upset, LOL!

I had my card within 10 days or so of my interview. I think most people do these days, unless it gets lost in the mail.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!
