Received my "Welcome to the USA" notice today :) Don't worry Carla, RE the lack of tracking number - that literally only gets sent out when USPS pick up the card from USCIS after it's been produced. According to various sources, this can be anywhere from 1 week to 3 weeks after it was ordered for production!

Not worried anymore, Nathan! Guess what arrived in the mail today?? WooHoo!!

Now, if his card expires 06/10/15, when can we apply for ROC? Is is 90 calendar days before the expiration? If so, that falls on a Saturday. So, can we have his application delivered the Friday before or does it have to wait for the Monday following?

Thanks for the link Carla.

Did they back date your approval? My interview was 6/20 and the earliest I can apply is 3/22, but your interview was 7/10 and ROC is 3/12, or am I calculating mine wrong??

You're welcome!

I didn't notice the date until you mentioned it. Yes, the did back date Dave's approval to June 10th! I wonder if they meant to do that or if that's something they need to be notified about. What do you think?

Using the link I posted above, I entered that date in and that's when we can file for ROC.

Looks like they mixed up the date, but I personally don't think a month makes a whole heap of difference, but give them a buzz just in case. You know how technical they get sometimes, even on their own mistakes. Maybe they would treat it as getting a 10-year instead of 2-year, not sure. But call just in case...

Yes, considering how much guff I got at the interview about the I-864, I think turnaround is fair play!

I'll have Dave call next week.
