Congratulations to everyone getting their approval letters!! We got ours today - total surprise, thought we'd be waiting a lot longer. Our decision date was 04/25/17 and our original receipt date was 05/03/16 (Vermont).

 

So I see in the letter it says not to leave the country before you receive the card (which can take 60 days).... well we have travel planned for the end of May. I guess we should get a passport stamp?

No letter again.

Oh, fabulous!  Our status just changed to "Card was mailed"!!!  Looks like it's taking 2 days from "Card is in Production" to "Card is Mailed" for most of us.

 

We should get the card in the middle of next week.  What a relief!

 

Pulling for you, Lucybelle!

I know how you feel. Every time I open the mailbox, and see something that looks official, my hope goes up! Usually it's exactly that...health insurance or a paystub.

Hey did you married and applied from here or home country? 

Seems like every on time (1year) approvals are the ones who came here through the K1 visa.

4/7/16 Uscis received my i751

Mtro, I am not sure what you are implying.  My spouse and I applied from the US, not from her home country.  Do you mean CR-1 applicants versus K-1 applicants?

Sorry for unclarity, 

i mean people who came here through the marriage or applied for visa from home country to come here to marry their partners. Unlike people myself that were here through the temporary work or tourist visa. I am talking about entire application not only i751.

I applied from the US, but I don't think that makes any difference, as evidenced by Sukie's experience. Still, a not a bad hypothesis.

I am strongly  thinking they put us in different process no matter how strong your evidences. Maybe they just transfer our files to local offices and let them deal with it which it probably takes much longer time and most likely interview. That's my guess but i hope i m wrong.
