Christi,

When I studied accounting raw materials used to be managed and recorded based on LIFO (Last In First Out) or FIFO (First In First Out) or JIT (Just In Time) methods. With these practices you can guess the trend and see a bigger picture. God knows how USCIS processing works, no one can predict and guess about timeline or the outcomes. I guess they feel important and mysterious that way rolleyes.gif

And yes I saw the random early approvals and on the other hand people have been waiting FOREVER to get approvals. Hopefully we will hear soon. It would be very nice to hear in a month or two.

Yes I'm looking forward to this 4 days weekends too. My plan is to hike, getting closer to mother nature smile.png. I miss earthy feeling.

Hey... you going home, eat a lot of local food. That's what I miss. Food cooked by and mixed with mom's love. Yummy!!

Oh well, keep in touch.

Let's play some music, I can almost smell the 4th of July BBQ.

Good Luck all!!

DNIEPU- all good here. Looking forward to a 4-day weekend ahead for the 4th of July smile.png

Not really thinking about USCIS biggrin.png

Though I saw today that there was one CSC approval with a NOA date March 25, 2013 ohmy.png as well as a VSC approval with a filing date of March 21, which was quite startling ohmy.png

Also, 5 CSC approvals for Feb '13 filers ohmy.png , but no VSC February approvals ohmy.png .

The way USCIS processes petitions seems to be way random. There's still VJ filers from October, November, December, January waiting to hear back. So go figure wacko.png

So who knows, some of us may actually hear back in a month or two...it is so random.

As for me though, I'm going back home on vacation mid August to mid September, so if I get an RFE while gone, it will have to wait until after I'm back. At least they give you 3 months to respond. Hubby is not coming with me this time, so he will be here checking the mail, but if we do get an RFE I don't trust him to put it all together by himself

I'm a control freak this way, so I will want to put the evidence together with my own hands

Puretaqwa - for NOA1 date, all is needed is the date on the NOA1 letter, not the date you received it. Let us know about that and we can update the list with your info

Happy upcoming Independence Day everyone!

Hello and welcome to the April 2013 filers thread.

NOA1 date refers to the " receipt date" on your NOA1 letter. So if you can look at the letter and let us know the receipt date on it, that would be very helpful.

Also, do you happen to remember what date you had your early bio? (if not, that's not a huge deal, but the more info we can have, the more accurate our timelines are, and it helps other people compare).

Let us know so that we can have all the right details.

I'm going to go ahead and add you to the list now, and please come back and give us the additional info.

Good luck in your petition!

I know I'm being extremely paranoid, but my husband had to travel out of the country on business for 3 weeks in Warsaw, Poland. He's re-entering in NYC with his expired green card and extension letter. I know most people do this without issue, and that those that run into problems tend to be in countries that don't often see this letter, but I'm super nervous about it!

I assume officials in NYC have seen this letter a billion times, but I can't help but worry about it. sad.png

I'm more worried about when he checks in for his flight home in Warsaw, that the airport employees won't understand the process.

watch out.. many good news for you April fillers in august. Some march filers have been attended to now

This is true, but there are still a lot of applicants from late 2012/early 2013 waiting to hear back, so it looks really random.

Really, it seems like it can take anything from 4 to 9 months to hear back (and for a few "lucky" people even longer)! That's a 5 month gap! Crazy!! rolleyes.gif

The only thing I'm hoping for is not to get an RFE while I'm abroad from mid August to mid September. If an RFE is to come, I hope it comes close to the time I'll be coming back or after I'm back. Of course an approval would be welcome at any moment, lol laughing.gif

You should have no problem. Dozens of VJ members travel abroad and back while their ROC is pending with their expired green card and the original extension letter + passport. I'm sure airline employees, especially in Mexico, see that every day. Just do a search on the forum and you'll see that the same question is being asked at least once every week.

Be sure to present the original extension letter and not a copy, as copies could give you trouble. The only time VJ members have had trouble boarding was when they presented a copy of the letter and not the original. And this whole time I've only read of one case who had trouble with the original letter because the airline employee was ignorant of the rules, but she "threatened" to hold him personally responsible if he didn't let her board, so that did the trick content.gif

Bottom line: it's unlikely that they won't let you board.

I'll be visiting my home country in mid August and will be returning in mid September. I don't expect any trouble, based on other VJ members' experience, but just to be 100% sure that no airline staff gives me hassle, I was also going to print out this page from the CPB website and bring with me in case I need to convince anyone that I am legally allowed to board the plane:

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/75/session/L3NpZC8zQTJlbXh2bA%3D%3D

I suggest anyone feeling too nervous about their overseas travel does the same, just in case they are given hassle (which shouldn't happen in the first place).

Enjoy your trip!

Hey yall



I have a quick question for y'all. My wife and I are going to Spain in Sept and I'm about to buy the tickets , but They are asking me for passport number and then for my Greencard info. Now the thing is that it is asking me for Expiration date on my GC, but my green card already expired back in June. I'm planning on going to Spain with my greencard and NOA1 which extends my greencard for one more year. So what should I do? Should I put the actual date shown on my greencard expiring on June 2013 or should I use the extension letter which gives me one more year moving the date to June 2014. THanks
