Someone please help!

I had my interview on September 3rd. We were approved right away. The very next day I got an email saying that on sept. 3rd my card production was ordered. On September 8th the welcome letter in the mail. Then on September 9th I got another card production ordered. Finally on September 14th I got an email saying approval notice sent. Normally how long does it usually take from this email to get the actual green card in the mail? From what I have read (despite those with interviews in may and June - that had a delay because of the equipment change) all got their GreenCard within two weeks of the interview date. Today has been exactly two weeks, and I looked in the mail and it wasn't there. Can someone please help sharing the experience???? Pleaseeeeee!!!!

You are worried over nothing :) Did you look at the processing times:

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php

Throught all the states, the AVARAGE days between the decision date and recieving the green card is 15 days. In Chula Vista, CA, the avarage is 40 DAYS!:) So, don't worry. I think IO's usually say to people they will recieve their green card within a month. I don't know how long it usually takes to recieve card in the mail after"card production ordered", but who knows how long it actually takes for them to make the card.. Just give it a few more days,and then call the customer service..Good luck!

Dec 2006 - he proposed

Feb 2007 - K-1 filed

Dec 2007 - K-1 Visa Interview (denied), the reason: i was overstayed my previous visit in 2000-2003 (my bad)

The wait would be unbearable but it'll be worth it. It strengthens the love, it attaches you even more to each other, it shows how your man would do whatever it takes to be with you, that he will never give up on you because he LOVES you!! All the waits, stresses, tears, heartaches, all the miserable feelings you feel along the way will be paid off once you get what you've been hoping for...oh and WITHOUT PRAYERS? will be like trying to start a fire with water, JUST WON'T WORK!

Thank you for your response! According to the table the time between decision date and green card arrival fir my office is 32 days. Hopefully it won't take that long as I have an

international trip scheduled for next Wednesday (23rd) and I haven't got the stamp in my passport at the interview. Anyway, I hope it comes in time!!!

Thank you again!!!

Hopefully it will be in my mailbox until the end of this week then.... Thank you again!!!

Yes, I got a paper saying that too, so just to be safe, I have an infopass appointment scheduled for next Monday, to try to get the stamp. I pray to god I won't need it though!

Thanks for the response!

Let me ask you something. How long before you got the actual green card on the mail that you receinved an e-mail saying that approval notice was sent? I don't understand how come it take such a long time to deliver a letter. They sent me this email on monday, now it has been 4 days, and nothing so far...
