Hey guys! Good luck to all. I also filed after a heartbreaking divorce. I got my approval in the mail today!

Receipt: 04/18/2011, Biometrics: 06/16/2011, Approval: 11/18/2011.

No interview. Hope this helps!

I just wanted to add VSC to the details! Would you add me to the list? Thanks

Yurika & Jim, please update my Approved date to 10/21 - that's the real day, only my lawyer received the NOA with Decision date and only sent it to me today :/ I'd like to show the difference as it seems to show that they had to make a decision within 6 months from when they received my decree. Thanks!

blue123, good luck with your petition. It seems they have lost your decree (and not that they didn't accept the document you sent).

as I suspected, the IO told me today at the Service Center that although I got more than a month ago the approval message and card production order, the card has actually NOT been ordered...

I kind of knew it after I didn't get it after a week. GRR. so did order it now... said I should get it within a month... again, one more month waiting. why this is so common? can't they just make sure that they really order the card when they approve a petition? he was a really nice officer and suggested to give me a 1-year passport stamp. which I took although I know it's not worth much - I was on vacation abroad and when I arrived here this week, I was grilled again, for the second time this year, although I had with me: 1) the expired green card; 2) a xerox of approved petition/NOA; 3) a stamp in my passport. contrary to what I've been told by officers and on the phone by USCIS itself, all this doesn't help - they still send you to another room where you wait for more than 1 hour to confirm your stamp is "real". meaning, it's not worth anything... ahh...

Green Card finally in hands, it left their facility on Dec. 8th and arrived today the 14th after going to the wrong post office yesterday in a neighborhood nearby...

FYI - I saw all this with the USPS tracking number provided by them which I requested by phone to a second-tier operator as I found out in the forums here that they have this new service since last May.

sorry to hear, fizzapal. good luck in your interview, just keep calm and all will go well.

Hi all,

Sorry for falling off the grid for a while( really busy at work and trying to get over the heart-breaking divorce).. Here is what happened with my case.

4/11/2011-- Sent in the I-751 waiver

5/19/2011-- biometrics done

Nothing until 10/11/2011, So called USCIS on 10/12/2011 and they told me even the processing timeframe is 6 months, they were processing applications received on March 8 th 2011. So I convinced myself to wait one more month.

I called them again on 11/12/2011 and they told me that my petition is still in the processing timeframe and they are processing the applications received on Feb 14 th 2011. (Really?? let me talk to someone with a brain was my response and was connected to an Immigration Officer and her response was- why didn't you escalate this or try to open a service request after 6 month window-- Cool, atleast some productivity and I asked her to do so(open a service request)..

12/10/2011-- Got a letter stating that a service request has been opened and I should hear a decision with in 60 days

At the time I applied for this, I didn't even want to do it( I just wanted to go back home after the divorce )

Wonder what kind of surprise I will run into...

I haven't been able to sleep for days. Does anyone know when the result usually is available? I've kept checking my status on the USCIS website but it's still in initial review (the officer said he would give the decision in the next day after interview). Can I call them to check? If so, what is the number?

Oh, I forgot to mention about my interview. The officer who I had interview looked very nice. He asked me and wrote down to the paper about my background records, our addresses and the time frame we lived. Then he asked me why we got divorce, I said she had affairs and he said it made sense that I couldn't live with a person who had an affair. Then he asked about our tax returns and why we didn't file tax return in the year when got marriage and I said she was dependent with her mom and I was a student at that time so we didn't file tax together back to that year. And then he told me it seems that I have all the documents and he would review and mail me his decision tomorrow. After that I also submited more documents. The interview took me about 30 minutes.

During the interview I didn't have many chances to explain my situation. Almost the questions were when, where... so I kind of worry because I couldn't have chances to tell him detail about our story :(

Is it a bad sight that he didn't ask about our story? I've been just like being hanging around since the day she had an affair, the divorce, and now my future here :( with nowhere to go....so depressed now....

Thanks for all of your sympathies here. This is the only place I can share my feeling.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!
