Hello everyone..

I have a question for those who were approved..

How long did it take to receive your card after approval? 

How long did it take for it to changr on my case status?

 

 

I had my interview and my case was approved last week but still shows the initial message.

I have the exact same question! For my AOS application in 2014, the steps from approval to receiving my green card took a week total. I'm eight days out from approval my ROC already and my online status shows "card production." Has this part of the process slowed down too? 

[IV&A 1]

I know it was the beginning of december 2016 and I got the card production status change on Wednesday, and it said the delivery would be made in a week but on thursday the mail service changed the status to that they received my card in my local usps facility and it was out for the deivery on friday and I got it around 3:30pm on friday which it took actually less than 48 hours after the status changed on the app that I was approved

So you got approved early December and just now receiving your card?  It took two months from approval?

Of course a couple of hours after my impatient comment, I get an alert saying the card has been mailed to me. So my timeline went: Approval 1/23, Production 1/26, Mailing 1/31. I'll post again when I get my hands on the shiny new card!

Hi, I filed last week of February at the Vermont Service Center and i am still awaiting a decision. I called USCIS and spoke to a Tier 2 officer to get more information on my case, and he told me, my case has been recently assigned to an immigration officer yesterday. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes after a case has been assigned to when a decision is made. Trying to make a decision on whether i should get an info pass to have my passport stamped or not. Thanks in advance.

I scheduled an infopass in Atlanta to get my passport i-551 stamped today (received NOA on 02/26/2016, GC expired 05/22/2016).

 

One of the officers that I met told that my extension is valid until 05/21/2017 (1 yr extension from GC expired). I asked him couple of times if he was sure and he responded "I'm positive".

 

I then walked out and called the number at the bottom of I-797 receipt (800-375-5283), spoke to someone who told me that the extension is from the date I received the notice and not the GC expiration date, so I have to get my passport stamped in 24 days (before 02/26/2017).

 

I went back to see another officer and he told me the exact same thing as the first officer. He also told that he can see an immigration officer was assigned to my file as of yesterday. I did mention to him about what I was told on phone and he replied "The call center guys don't know anything about this". He also told me that I can speak to the supervisor if I wish and of course I wanted to confirm this with as many people as I could.

 

The supervisor told me the same exact thing as the other 2 officers.

 

So, the extension is valid for one year after the GC date of expiration and NOT the NOA receipt date.

 

I at least feel better knowing that someone was assigned to my file. 

 

Another interesting thing the second officer told me was that most are not interviewed for first green card (temporary 2yr ) but almost all are interviewed for the second one (10 yr). I think it is the other way around.

Hi SRCB2503, Looking at my I-797 letter, I  think this has to be the right understanding of when the extension starts and ends. The letter says "your conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year." That surely means that the extension begins on the date the card expites. If it was a year from the date of the letter, first it wouldn't be a full year's extension because your card would still be valid for the first few months and, second it would say "a year from the date of this letter." 

 

What the other officer said about interviews seems bizarre. You will always have an interview for AOS based on marriage to a US citizen. A glance at the timelines on this forum will show that very few ROC applications require an interview. He must have been mistaken. 

 

Cheers,

I checked my case status for the first time since march 2016 and it says' case was received'. I think this is the beginning of a stressful period of checking my case status online and checking my mail constantly. Haha. Good luck everyone! Hopefully by March we're all smiling our way to the citizenship forum.

It's funny because I was told the exact same thing when I Spoke to a Tier 2 Officer - that my case was assigned to an immigration officer yesterday and that 95% of I-751 requires an interview. Not sure if this is a new thing or if they are just confused. 

[IV&A 1]

Mostly common calls for interviews are when you first apply. If you didn't get the interview first time you have a bigger chance of getting it when you submit your ROC. That's what i was told when I first applied. I got an interview the first, second time I got RFE

[wydot 2]

So i got my ROC approved on Jan 20 and card been produced on Jan 25 and on Jan 30 the card mail i was figure take 2 week the Card will get in the mail box. Hope everybody get faster than me!

Thanks to everyone for sharing this info. Waiting here as well -- hope to hear something soon!

So, as a member said above there is a chance that if you did not get an interview for AOS, that it is a greater chance for you to get an interview for ROC. This is true, but there is also a chance that for both AOS and ROC you may not get an interview. For my AOS that was approved Nov 6, 2013 I had no interview and for my ROC that got approved July 18, 2016 there was also no interveiw.
