Approval letter, no change in online status

[jonoger1984 1]

Hello all,

I received my I-797 letter of approval, dated October 25th 2012 but my online status has yet to change. It's still showing my case as pending, and dates November 2011 as the last action on my case.

I'm just curious if anyone else had had this happen to them, and if so - how long did it take for your GC to arrive in the mail and did your online status ever change?

Many thanks!

HOW DO YOU CHECK A CASE ONLINE ? BECAUSE WHEN I GO CHECK MY CASE IT DOES NOT SHOW ME ANYTHING SAYS WRONG RECEIPT NUMBER ?

Use the receipt number on your biometrics appointment letter.

Ours never was updated for a very long time after we had our original green card. I'd bet it still says in process or pending decision or something. Others can probably verify a sometimes similar experience.

That's good to hear, did your GC take a long time to arrive? Just trying to see if there's any connection between online status and card delivery.

I signed up for email alerts etc but never heard anything prior to my approval letter, but I hear of people getting messages saying things like "the production of your card has been ordered" etc

It really depends on how many green cards they send out, sometimes it takes a week and sometimes more. In my case, I recieved my conditional in 5 days. If you need to travel or something: make an infopass and take your approval letter and have them stamp your passport. The online case status sometimes is all the way off, and it's not as accurate as it should be. congrats and good luck.

To update my statement when I logged in now with my MSC number it says:

-------

Post Decision Activity

On February 18, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow any instructions on the notice.

At least on the website it never moved to the "Card/Document Production" Step.

We've had the green card since Feb. 2011. It arrived about 10 days later after our AOS approval at interview. I'm not sure why they never updated the website to show the "Card Production" step.
