I'm shocked and appalled by the stories I read in here. This is absolute BS but very typical for the "land of the free" (yes, please note my sarcasm) I suppose.

Since I have my EAD and AP I don't stress a lot, but yeah, haven't heard anything about our i-485 in over two months.

Hello Nitehero,

Have you made an Infopass yet to follow up on your status?

Congratulations,

It's funny how you are all getting approved and I am still here waiting. I am happy for you regardless. Could you please tell me how long it took for the representatives office to get back to you with the response you posted earlier? Thanks

Blue Bianchi

I know what you are feeling like. Only in my case, the frustration is 10 times over. It will be 10 weeks (70days) post interview on Tuesday and still nothing, I have reached a point were I don't know what to do anymore, because worrying sure doesn't help.

Hi all,

At 5:15pm today, I received an email saying that "On July 2, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you."

The wait is officially over for me and I just want to thank everyone who has encouraged me throughout the process. NYC is the least efficient place to file a green card petition so we have to cope with the anxiety associated with it. What I can say is try to focus on other things while you are waiting. I happen to be studying for the new york bar exam lately and simply don't have much time worrying about it.

To artist 123:

It sucks that they misspelled your last name but the processing time they give you, i.e., 6 months, may not be what the reality is. Try to speak to your Congressman and in the worst case, you can always travel with your stamped passport before the new card is delivered.

Good luck to those of you who are still waiting and please keep us posted when good news arrive.

Congratulations! It's such a good feeling to get it! Well done :-)

To FavoredOne,

FavorerOne won't get your question, you have to quote one of FavoredOne's posts in order for them to send an email notifying them about you question. Just like Im doing now, otherwise your post will remain here and unless they visit this thread it won't seen.

I did contact my congressman so that may have helped push things forward.

Any updates on your end? I hope you are preparing hard for the second interview?
