That is beyond ridiculous that you are still waiting. At least you can leave. Have a great time in Thailand and hopefully your gc will come in the mail before you leave.

yes, we did. but all the places we've applied to say they would rather him have some sort of 'permanent resident status' ... for example, green card or to be a USC. it REALLY sucks because we know so many people, in other cities, who have worked with their EAD! arggggg

Britt, sorry that you are still waiting on Marco's greencard. That sucks that potential employers won't take his valid EAD card. The whole process is soo frustrating. I hope that we won't have the wait time for our ROC applications.

Hi everyone,

I just got notification that my green card is approved. Thank GOD this long process is finally over.

I submitted my case on June 19th 2012, i got one RFE in July and on July 31st my case was transferred to CSC. In December and February. i made two service request. Then last week, i contacted Ombudsman office. They contacted me back and told me that CSC has made a decision and all i have to do is to wait to get update from USCIS. This was yesterday and today i got a text saying to check the status. I don't think Senator/Congress man are any different then this office. My understanding is that they can contact CSC directly and can give you latest update about your case.
