comingsoon28 · October 21, 2011

your husband is an LPR and is in process to get his 10yr green card. his IDs are as valid as yours. i dont think you need to be freaking out, you just need to be ready to answer other people's questions (because they arent immigration-savvy like VJers are!)

Thanks so much!!

I know I've been bagging USCIS and VSC lately but they just completely surprised me...

I just received this email:

"Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production. On October 21, 2011, we ordered production of your new card."

Finally!! The wait is over.

:dance:

Hopefully everyone else starts getting their approvals soon!

I know I've been bagging USCIS and VSC lately but they just completely surprised me...

I just received this email:

"Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production. On October 21, 2011, we ordered production of your new card."

Finally!! The wait is over.

Hopefully everyone else starts getting their approvals soon!

Congratulations!!

My husband filed in April in Vermont Service Center, and like the rest of you, has not yet received his new green card. We are currently in the process of buying a house and we close next week. I suddenly started freaking out about this affecting our ability to close. Has anyone shown their foreign passport + expired green card + extension letter for something as big as this without a problem? Or does anyone have any experience/advice they can share? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I received my new green card on the mail last week, but we were in the middle of the process of buying a house when I filed, jusk like your husband.

All I was requested to present was my expired green card along with the extension letter. I'm not sure if the real estate laws change from state to state (we live in Tacoma/Washington), but I don't think this is going to be a problem at all.

Just to be on the safe side, I would ask your real estate agent. Better yet, your lender.

Only one advice: make sure as soon as you close on the house and sign the contract to go on the USCIS website and change your address. You can do it online, it's very simple.

Along with that your husband still have to file an AR-11 form to make sure they will have his new address on their master data-base.

I made the mistake of only changing the address online on their website and my green card ended up being sent to my old address and I only found out about it 10 days later.

So, DO NOT FORGET THE AR-11 form!!

I hope this helps and I wish you and your husband all the luck.

Congratulations on your new house!!!

Thanks so much for this information! I will definitely make sure to change our address both online and through the form

I received the I-797C today confirming my application was approved. It says the decision date was October 14 2011. The website still says card production was ordered on October 21 2011.

Hopefully we see some more VSC approvals this week!!

It's good to know that your delayed biometrics appointment didn't affect the time it took to approve you

Any other approvals lately? I haven't seen any approvals in the February and March forums.

hatetowait · October 27, 2011

Just called USCIS service center, they told me that they are still processing Feb 24th filers.

What the hell!!!

I told her that lots of March filers have been approved on the website and how come they are still working kn Feb filers. She could not answer my question.

I won't call them back again.

mr and mrs · October 27, 2011

if you choose the VSC at the bottom of this page, it shows the processing times. these are the 'official' dates/times. the operator just reported that date to you. we on VJ know what is being processed.

Well, they were still working on some of late Feb and early March cases last week for sure...

Hang in there April VSC filers!
