I just wanted to give an update for those that were transfered to CSC for 'faster processing' last year and will probably get their green card with no interview. We filed in June 2012 our application was recieved the same month. One month later (July 2012) we received an NOA that our case was transfered to CSC for 'faster processing'.....lol. They recieved our case 7/30/12 and it had never been 'touched' since. I finally put in a service request this April 2013. I got the standard keep waiting letter earlier this month (May).

My wife was concerned about her EAD/AP expiring in August and wanted to send in the renewal paperwork early. She underestimated my laziness and I talked her into at least waiting until we returned from our vacation back to Thailand......I hate paperwork and was really hoping we would get lucky and not need to renew. I also wanted to contact my congressman or the ombudsman and see what they could do after we got back.....before doing the renewal paperwork.

A few days before our scheduled return to the U.S. we got the email.....our application was approved. Followed by another email.....card in production. Followed by another email....card mailed and a tracking number. Followed by another email.....card delivered, and we got it that day in the mail! We went from no info at all to emails almost every day until it arrived. Beware the package looked like junk mail from the U.S. Postal service and not the typical USCIS envelope.....so open everything while you are waiting!

Wow, so happy it's done at least for now. For those of you interviewing you will get your cards much quicker it seems. For those being transfered to the NBC (as they do now and not the CSC as I understand it) you will wait a looooong time but no interview. Better get that EAD/AP if you want to travel and don't already have it. Without AP (advance parole) you will not be able to leave the U.S. and return and waiting on the GC will be long......but you will get it you just have to be patient.

Good luck to all,

Mark&Took
