I must be looking in the wrong place as I can't seem to find where the status is! :huh: I see the 'issued' page thingy....

I do hope we are not waiting a week.... I need to drive cross-country still to make turkey-day with my kids (and the weather is certainly not improving)!!

I'm just talking about what it says under issued. At first it talked about administrative processing and now it mentions final processing and 5 working days. Edited by Cdnarmygrl

I want to say a big Congratulations to everybody who has received their Visas or have been approved recently.v it is wonderful to see so many people coming to the end of the journey.

For those who are experiencing difficulties either getting to the interview or being approved it is just another obstacle in the journey. It will happen and it won't be long and you will be back with your loved ones.

LOVED the story fro the UK - issued on the spot. Goes to show it can be done.

I emailed Sydney a Consulate last night asking for an earlier interview date. Heard back from them with an automated response that they will answer in 1-2 business days. Might hear before the weekend. If it is a no then that is fine but at least we know what we are working with. Will keep you posted.

Really hope you get good news :)

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed

February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed
