O

I decided to call USCIS. I got to speak to a person. I was told the wait time was 1 - 3 min. This call was pretty unproductive. The lady read to me what I could see online myself and forwarded my call to another person. The machine told me the wait time is 25 - 30 min. After 60 min on the phone I got to talk to another lady (was that at MSC?). She told me that yes, my AP was approved on 1/13 and was probably sent on 1/14 and that I was probably going to get it by thursday, friday (still hoping on tomorrow), and if I dont, call back in a week. I mentioned that in my letter from the Congressman I was told I can schedule an Infopass and get a stamp in my passport (Would I still need my AP documents when I came back to the USA, I dont know). She said even if the earliest available Infopass date was, lets say, 1/29/2011, I could still try and get in Orlando Office, show them Infopass letter + the letter from Congressman. I dont know...should I wait or not...still thinking...

How far is te Orlando office from you? I think your AP is on the way. My biometric letter was sent from MO to CA in two business days. However, if I were you I will visit the Orlando office coz you have nothing to loose except time if you can't get in. But you get the stamp on your passport if you get in.

The Orlando Office is like 35 - 40 min away. The thing is I dont have a car and my hubby works alot! One thing I was thinking was going to Orlando Office on Thursday (in case I dont get the mail yet), and try my luck before my flight at 9 pm.

Does anyone know which picture is used on your green card? The one we submitted or the one taken ar biometric? I can't wear contacts for weeks due to upcoming lasik surgery and I don't want to have my glasses on my green card. Thanks!

The pic taken at your biometrics is the one they use for your GC

I went to biometric with glasses. I did not say anything, but he asked me to take off my glasses for photos.

That was quick. Where was it sent from?

Not sure, i don't think it said on the envelope or the document. I'd have to look at it again later. Yeah i think they sent the notification once shipped.

I looked on the envelope and it came from Missouri, postmarked 1/12/10, arrived yesterday 1/18. So about 4 biz days given the holiday weekend.

[SpelaD 4]

It still has time to come tomorrow, cuz I have a late flight. Yesterday I was told by USCIS lady I can call in a while and get tracking number to see where my AP is, but I dont know...has anybody done that before?

[SpelaD 4]

does MSC have a direct phone number I can call and maybe ask for AP tracking number?
