Stalking the mailman didn't work today. Though I was honestly expecting it tomorrow at the earliest.

 

And by "stalking" I mean getting home from work, taking out the dog, and on the way back up to the apartment checking my box. Basically stalking since normally I check my mail twice a month :)

Ah, got all the multiple texts and emails today saying 'Status has changed'. This is a week after I received the letter saying I got approved. =)

Guess we're waiting for the card to be in production now, lol.

Mine changed to "card being produced" too. No text or email, and this is the first change since "we received your application". My application was approved on the 10th, so 15 days from approval to card production.

So stalking the mailman hasn't worked for me either. I just checked my mailbox and still nothing. *sigh* Do you think calling USCIS makes a difference in terms of speeding up the process? Should I give them a call? I am starting to get impatient and worried... :(

I'm getting nervous that I haven't received anything since they received my application. I just called to see maybe I missed something in my mail and the agent told me they haven't sent anything to me recently 😭 So paranoid! Should I schedule an infopass? My greencard extension expires at the beginning of July.

This is my first post here. I've been quietly reading along for a few weeks now. Okami, I checked your timeline and your date is 4/27/16. Mine is 4/28/16. (That's the date they received my package and the date my I got a response from them). So I'll be hitting a year in 2 days - I haven't heard anything either, no letter, no status change online either. :(

good luck.

Also I've been told calling them often can do more harm than good. I do not know how true this is -  it's hard to just sit on your hands!!! Ugh.

I think we're still "on time".  People who have NOA 1 dates one week before us received their letters last week.  I except us end-of-monthers should get letters this week!  *fingers crossed*

I would think that a lot of "end-of-monthers" will be hearing at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.  It really does seem to be taking at least a year on average.

 

Our online status changed to "Card Being Produced" this morning, but we have gotten no emails or text messages.  Don't care about that latter thing - I'm just stoked that our status FINALLY changed.  I'm guessing that all of us that were approved on April 13th have had different "handlers" since status changes have been spread over 4 different days!

 

Thinking of all of you who are still waiting.  It truly sucks.
