where is my green card?

[anamari 0]

Ok. so I got my approval letter 3 months ago and my required biometrics 2 months ago, and after that nothing....

Where is my permanent green card? How long does it take to get the actual card?

Is it lost in the mail ?

It only took 20 days to get the conditional one....

What do you mean? You got approved before your biometrics or am I reading it wrong?

Yes, you got it right...

the date of decision is 10/10/2006 and it reads:"Your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved. You are deemed to be a lawful permanent resident of the United States as of the date of your original admission or adjustment of status."

On 11/8 I received a notice for my appointment at the local application support center in order to take my photograph and collect other data needed to produce my new Alien Registration Receipt Card....(biometrics?)

Okay, now I see what you are saying...though, I want to ask you if you had your fingerprints and picture taken before you heard about your approval?

I applied in Septemeber, got my NOA in November and had my fingerprints and picture taken in December....though I am only waiting for their decision.

Actually, I had received the letter before I had my fingerprints and photos... though I think it is the other way around normally.But I just checked on-line and it is said that they received my CRI89 request of removal of a conditional resident status on November 7 and they are porcessing it...?

Since I messed up my son's application and had to re-file his AOS more than 3 months after mine I think I am creating so much confusion in the system that things started to go bacwards for me...
