greencard interview after I360 (vawa) approval

[chris2 0]

My 360 file was approved in february 2008 and in september 2008 I got my EAD.

In December I received an interview date for Green Card for February 5th and I went to the interview and the officer told me I would receive the card in couple of weeks. It's been almost 6 weeks now and I didn't receive anything yet. I called the Customer Service number and they sent me a reply letter in which they say they are "actively processing the case " and that they"are performing additional review in this case and this has caused a prolongued processing time" And if I "don't receive a decision or any notice of action in 6 months" that I should call the National Customer Service Center at the number the provide in there.

Did anybody experience something similar? Do I really need to wait for 6 months when the officer at the interview told me I would get my card in a couple of weeks?

Thank you!

Did you have a Lawyer when you went to AOS Interview?what was/is your basis (Claim) for filing I-360? You did not mention anything about abuse (physical/emotional)...

Because that is the subject of the I-360, which has already been approved yet...and does not need to be known to answer the original question.

Chris, if you received an update on your case, in writing, you should wait out the additional time stated by USCIS. Perhaps some additional checks are needed before the card can be issued.

I wouldn't worry if i were you. I'd call the proper authorities to check if my name check and fingerprints are ready(they are fast with that, they usually get those out of the way the same day)...but just for your peace of mind, call and ask. Then, make an Infopass and go talk to them at the immigration office. Ask to speak to a manager if the officer you talk to is not too helpful. If that still doesn't work and you receive a "get out of here, your case is in processing" answer, then have a bit more patience because you will eventually receive your card. If more time goes by and you still haven't received your card, you can also opt to write your state rep. That should get it done . Good luck

PS: The officer ALWAYS tells you that you will receive the card in 2 weeks. Well sometimes they say 3 weeks but usually they say 2 weeks...some will actually say 2-3 weeks:)don't really know why. That is standard answer. Yes, sometimes you will not receive it in weeks but months. You have to have patience. Until those 6 months expire, there is nothing you can do aside from wait. Why the hurry anyway? You are legal with or without the card, as long as your papers are being processed.

[Hello Newbi,

I want to know if you received your green card and how long did u wait.

[Sandra G. 5,070]

Chris2 I saw several cases like yours, and after a few weeks they received their GC. Just be patient you will receive your GC soon.

There is a thread here in the visa journey called Vawa part and several people applied for Vawa and many of them had AOS interview already.

Kibetitole Vawa Unit is adjudicating cases received in November 2011, then you still have to wait at least 9/10months.
