scrosso1980 · April 9, 2013

Happy to say i got back from travelling yesterday and on arrival we had the letter of congratulations for the removal of conditional status stating we had been successful. Date of decision was 04/04/2013. I never received an email just the letter.

Such a relief, and big thanks to all on here that offer advice and tips. I had a few stressful moments - green card stolen, change of address but all was ok, so thank you.

Toogroove: Congratulations on your approval and sorry to hear about your mishap. If it was identity fraud (i.e. someone changed your address with USCIS by filing an AR-11 form pretending to be you) then it must have been someone who had access to your green card and possibly your passport, since AR-11 requires you to fill out your A-number, date of birth, country of citizenship, as well as the last time you entered the country and your port of entry. So they must have had access to all this information to fill it out accurately and submit an AR-11 which would pass for genuine.

For the above reason, I'm leaning more towards the clerical error explanation - i.e. some USCIS admin person mixed your address with someone else's, or someone else submitted a change of address and mis-typed their A-number so it came to be your A-number, or something like that.

Before throwing money down the drain with an immigration lawyer, I'd suggest contacting USCIS to ask what can be done to remedy the situation. Most likely they will be able to issue you a new card, possibly with a new A-number, and should be able to investigate whether immigration fraud has been committed by the occupant of the other address or whether it was a mix up. I don't see a reason why things should get ugly since they've already approved your petition, and I'd hold off hiring a lawyer for now. I'm sure it's happened to them before and they should have ways to remedy problems like that.

Also, do make sure your case has indeed been approved. It is a bit strange that you didn't receive an email notification (though not everyone does), but the information on approval date etc. should definitely be online. If there is no approval date online etc., it makes me wonder if it's just a system glitch on their end and there has been no approval/card production yet.

Keep us posted on what happens.

TooGroove i agree with Christi,to investigate before you hire a lawyer!!Call Uscis and talk with them about it with them!

:ot: And talking about stolen identity couple of months ago i was harrased on the phone by scammers,whom were trying to get my info!!

First thing they were saying is that:"We are calling you about the problem with you're computer"!!

They were calling every 2 days,sometimes was the same person(i could recognize the voice).

I was nice in the begging and told them i do not have any problem with my computer,but they were keep calling!! :bonk:

I told them later i do not have any computer!!

Best part is that one day they called i could recognize the same voice and he goes:"We are calling you from the US Goverment" :wow:

I asked him politely if you are calling me from the U.S goverment what is my name?

He sayed something bad,the F word and he hanged up!! :blink:

They stopped calling lately,maybe they know they can not get any informations no matter what they are trying :rofl:
