i-751 January 2014 filers

[Neela & Jitu 79]

Approved!!

I received the e-mail at 6am this morning, card production was ordered yesterday May 13th! Obviously the tier 2 rep I talked to yesterday couldn't see it, or it hadn't been approved yet.

Now crossing all fingers and toes for R and L to receive the good news today too!

Congrats !!! Now you can relax a bit. I noticed your frustration on your post. But I'm poor VSC applicant. VSC is slow as hell. But im really happy for you

[Laure&Colin 546]

Thank you everyone, I'll update my approval tonight, am at work and I shouldn't be here

[Advanced Aardvark 82]

Things to do while waiting for VSC to process an application:

- Watch my hops grow: Glacier 15' tall; Fuggle 12.5' tall ; Cascade 10' tall; I-751 still germinating.

Feel free to add your own amusement...

Congrats to Laure&Colin and rest others who got approved

I meant to reply to this post but ended up voting it up.

I wish what you said were true. But it isn't. If they had a system to find out there would be no ROC and the world would be a better place.

Believe me, I live in California and green card marriages are rampant, just like welfare frauds. As far as I know they all get away with it. Happy ending: Foreign "spouse" gets the Green Card, US citizen "spouse" pockets $50,000 without having to live together a single day. In some cases, the "couple" barely know each other.

Sad! Sometimes I wish I had never been born or had been born back in the dinosaur age.

I agree to what you are saying.

You need to go through whole post,i admitted the doubt i had on these words but posted it anyway to see if somebody comes up supporting this theory.

Also i am in waiting stage so would love to believe the story which will be in my favour until i learn by the outcome of my own experience.

Congrats !!!

Any of the January VSC got transferred to CSV?

Thank you everyone, I'll update my approval tonight, am at work and I shouldn't be here

[Laure&Colin 546]

Congrats Laure! I was following your timeline.

Coucou ! Merci ! You are filing this month, right?

Congrats !!! Now you can relax a bit. I noticed your frustration on your post. But I'm poor VSC applicant. VSC is slow as hell. But im really happy for you

Thank you!! You know me, I often worry too much

VSC sucks, I'm sorry for all of you who have to take the slow queue

Congrats to you, I am waiting and praying as well...

It's gonna be here soon! Try not to worry (easy to say... I know).

[R and L 5]

Approved!!

I received the e-mail at 6am this morning, card production was ordered yesterday May 13th! Obviously the tier 2 rep I talked to yesterday couldn't see it, or it hadn't been approved yet.

Now crossing all fingers and toes for R and L to receive the good news today too!

CONGRATULATIONS LAURE!! :)

I'm still hanging here...no news I think I'm going to call USCIS tomorrow and check what happening..I'm just so tired waiting!!

But YAY!! ENJOY, ENJOY!! :)

[huy_le 32]

Got my card today. See ya again in approximately 6 months USCIS! Phew!

I was hopeful you'd receive your approval today too I guess the officer who got your case is more backlogged than mine!

I think it's a good idea to give them a call and check that no RFE or other mail has been sent. Expect some frustration when communicating with their call center though... The wait time to get to talk to a tier 2 officer (the only ones who can see more than what the website shows) is regularly over an hour. However you can choose to get a call-back when your turn in the queue comes (what I did yesterday and the call actually came a little earlier than expected).

Keeping my fingers crossed, maybe you'll get a 6am email tomorrow!

Got my card today. See ya again in approximately 6 months USCIS! Phew!

Yay!

Do you remember how many days after the card production email you received the tracking #?

[huy_le 32]

I did not get tracking #, the website said they mailed it directly to me. Maybe because there's a USCIS office close to where I live? I don't know. USCIS is a mystery to me, only a handful of other things that may be more mysterious (UFO, Big Foot, Lochness to name a few...).

Anyhow, here is my timeline if that may help you.

- Got email/text on May 7 saying that I was approved on the same day. That was Wednesday.

- Received official approval letter in the mail on Saturday (May 10).

- On Monday (May 12) got email/text saying that they had mailed my card directly on the same day.

- Today (May 14) got the card in the mail.

It took exactly a week from approval to card receipt.

Called USCIS this morning and talked to the supervisor/ tier 2.. There was no RFE, no forgotten second biometrics needed (I was concerned that somehow I would have missed a letter to come and do my fingerprints again as the first time they had to really push my fingers and most of my fingers didn't do a good job with getting their surface "printed" ), so nothing to be aware of, at least according to the current info.

So I just got the slow chap working on my file I guess

But Laure, thanks so much for the tier 2 info! I called USCIS, didn't press any buttons, got transferred to the spanish line, said I don't speak spanish and basically got through really easy! Also the supervisor seemed to be available straight away so didn't even need to wait a call back! AND thanks for keeping your fingers crossed...hopefully I'm on the approved list soon.

I think USCIS is really the Bermuda Triangle: things enter, get lost for months, and then pop out of the fog randomly...

Good to know about the card time frame, I'll be starting to stalk my mail-woman next week.

It's good that you could talk to someone fast! Good news about your biometrics, I also have fingerprints that seem to be hard to capture so I understand your concern.

I guess now there's not much to do but wait, but at least you know everything is following a normal course. It's probably just a matter of days now.

[PDNK 5]
