Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case [Part II]

[Kyle B 0]

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday. Hope to see some long-awaited approvals today!

Congratulations!! The Sunday approval doesn't surprise me. My fantasy is that they're now working overtime and on weekends to get caught up. Quick question: When you contacted the ombudsman, was your local office already working on cases with or after your NOA1 date? Our office is the day before, but I'm thinking about skipping straight to contacting the Ombudsman now instead of a month from now.

Woohoo!!!

Espared12, how was your wife's border crossing with the GC? MUCH better, I imagine?!

Have a great day everyone.

When I first contacted the Ombudsman my case was still at the Service Center.... I had no knowledge whether it had been transferred to a local office or not. In fact, when I followed up to the Ombudsman with an email last week, she said that my case was still awaiting assignement to an analyst. So I'm not sure it ever went to a field office.

In my case, we received an RFE from Sacramento. Our case status never updated on USCIS online to indicate there was an RFE issued nor RFE received.

Ugh, ok so I will still just the case status daily and my mail box. What a pain!

[MovinOn 32]

Hey everyone! Been waiting since April 1st 2014, got an RFE letter in the mail today for new I-693 form I guess USCIS just wants another $200-$400 of my money before they issue my green card...

Oh no Im sorry. We will probably receive one of those too. Hopefully not we just had to spend that money on a vet bill :/

Good morning Tina and Johan,

I am wondering if it isn't a fantasy and they are playing catch up by the way of overtime? Perhaps they have read this thread and realise how badly it's affecting everyone?

My husband doesn't really get involved in it all, but each night he comes home from work I give him a low down on what is going on. He is now becoming very annoyed about the way we have all been treated and wants us to get in touch with our local senator and such! I on the other hand can't be bothered and the reason I can't be bothered with service requests and senators and such is that it seems nothing comes of it .

The USCIS SEEMS to take great delight in giving out mis and dis information to all of us and they really don't seem to give a "Fiddlers Hoot". However, I might find myself sending a request to the Ombudsman and with outlining the effect it is having on people. I find myself resigning myself to the fact that they will put any obstacle they can in our way. Unjust is the word that pops to mind.

Any way of my podium, lets hope they are doing the decent and civil thing by playing catch up! One can hope!

Ugh, ok so I will still just the case status daily and my mail box. What a pain!

Good Morning MovinOn,

Got to be your week this week... Right? Praying for you!

[MovinOn 32]

Congrats to all of you on your approvals! You've surely deserved it

My RFE hasn't been mentioned on the case status site; it still says fingerprint fee received.

Ok, thank you!

Good afternoon everyone

Today I received my GC in hands after no tracking update for a day. Hope some of us whose the GC sent last Thurs and before get you GC today!

Nlhernan - did you receive GC in mail?

btw, I did not receive welcome letter (approval notice). just wondering should I have to use it as supporting doc for ROC or citizenship in the future? I think I'm the only one who did not receive it. Should I contact USCIS and ask for this letter?

Congrats!!

Good morning Tina and Johan,

I filed with the ombudsman this morning. Got the requisite automatic email stating that if we don't hear from them in 45 business days... blah blah blah. But the ball is rolling. 45 business days, not counting the holidays is June 12th. That means that I have 44 School days until the end of the year! Patience is a virtue. But it's not one of MINE! haha

When I first contacted the Ombudsman my case was still at the Service Center.... I had no knowledge whether it had been transferred to a local office or not. In fact, when I followed up to the Ombudsman with an email last week, she said that my case was still awaiting assignement to an analyst. So I'm not sure it ever went to a field office.

Thanks for this info, Kyle. We have now also filed. Can't hurt. Congrats again!

Congratulations on your Green Card in hand. The Welcom to America "Letter" is an I-797 with the Notice of Action: WELCOME TO AMERICA. If you haven't gotten it, I would call USCIS (ewww!!) and get them to send you another. That will probably require a SR for "Failure to Receive" (ewww!!!!). But you may need this official document.

Yes we did get my wife's GC today. Our 13th month journey through AOS is finally finished. It only took them 22 days from approval to get it. Oh well, thier last great act of defiance...It's over...

The priority date seems to be the date of the approval of your petition for K-1 visa...

Finally!!! good for you!! Hugs all around!

[MovinOn 32]

Good morning everyone!!! Big CONGRATULATIONS to everyone with recent approvals and for those that have recently received their GC in the mail! So it looks like now it's a trend that people are getting their GC first in the mail and their Welcome Notice nearly a week after. Just received my wife's Welcome Notice this weekend. I am having my daily GREEN in honor of all those awaiting their approval. Good luck to everyone! MovinOn, I feel this is definitely your week.

Keeping fingers crossed but not holding my breath!

Morning all! I'm struggling to stay completely up to date with the thread due to being at work a lot. Congratulations to the approvals from last week.

MovingOn you must be this week surely! Sorry I've been a bit quiet Shell - keep me up to date please :-)

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Good Morning,,,we can hope, cant we?

Good morning all!

So... I was relaxing watching TV last night around 8:00pm and I received a text message from a number that I didn't recognize. I opened the message and it was from USCIS with a notification that my case had been updated. On a Sunday night?....

Anyway, I logged online and this is what I see:

New Card Is Being Produced

On April 19, 2015, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxxx, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I was SHOCKED!

June 25th filer here....NPIW on September 25th, and I also contacted Ombudsman on March 26th. I think it must have helped!

God Speed to all of you who are still waiting, keep thinking positive and it'll happen!

Whoa! thats odd,,,but...Congrats!

Hello everyone! A new week is here. Let's hope the luck will be on our side this week! My wife got her biometrics appointment letter for her EAD renewal on Friday... Good look to everyone who is still waiting!!!

It's been wonderful using the GC, since we can now use the Ready Lane. They don't even run the GC through the machine, they just take a glance at it and give it back.

Good morning Derwood, Good morning Peeps

I will keep you informed. Not been on the forum myself this weekend as my husband has been hijacking my laptop to play Alphabetty saga, its a game like scrabble.

Any way another week and what I want this week God, is for Movin On to get their GC! I think I echo the sentiments of nearly everyone who posts on this thread about that!

Well it was a VERY busy week with approvals and GC's last week so if I haven't acknowledge some posts/posters I apologise, its not that I am ignoring any one, but with so many posts sometimes I miss some of them!

I hope everyone hears something this week, but what I wish for more is that everyone has news that their GC is in production!

May the GC force be with everyone. Good luck!

Good Morning ..Thank you so much and thanks to all the well-wishers!

I agree, Congrats to all, I miss posts sometimes myself as sometimes this forum gets very busy!

Good luck to us all!!

Good Morning, It's not one on my virtues either! lol

It's been a month since I filed my SR, hopefully it should be in Cleveland by now. *fingers crossed* I hope they finish things off.

Excellent news, congrats.

Your case and mine almost match up perfectly so I'm hoping this mean mine might appear any day now!
