Did you try calling? I dont think its going to add any favors as USCIS are still working on cases since Nov, 2016.

I didn't think it would help my case, so I haven't. I tried to put in an SR online, but the system told me that it's too early to file one..

 

I have my EAD already, so I'm not too concerned about the Green Card itself... yet.

Hello everyone,

my husband got his GC in the mail today but they put the wrong birthday on it. I know we have to call them to replace it. Does anyone know how long it will take to get it replaced?

According to many other posts and sources, a very long time. I'd expect a waiting time of anywhere between 6 and 12 months. If it doesn't take as long, that'll be great. If it takes longer, that's just how it is... Best of luck.

Ok thank you, do you know what he will have to do in the mean time? Like what should he carry with him to show his residency.

My wife's interview got scheduled on Sept 12th. Good Luck everyone, hang in there. 

 

Regarding documents, what kind of documents do you have to take during an interview? We have submitted a lot of documents already when we filed.

Anyone has an update about which date the NBC is processing right now?

My received date is February 24th. I haven't heard anything about my I-485 ever since...

He is not a Permanent Resident yet. All he has is an Authorized Status which means that he cannot be deported.

I always carry my NOA1 from the I-485 and my driver's license with me.

All we can do is wait until USCIS update our status...

Think it all depends on field office

She's asking for those who are likely to get an interview waiver. Those cases don't leave the NBC with some exceptions that get transferred to a non-local service center.

Funny how I've been checking my USCIS app on a daily basis for an update on our case only to be surprised by a mail coming from them saying our interview schedule is on September 12! This is it! 😄

 

Yeah, the app is not that dependable.

this is random, but in the past, whenever I renewed my DL, it was only valid for however long my legal presence document said i'm legally in the states for. 

 

i assumed my DL would be valid for exactly as long as my EAD, which is less than a year. however, when i got my license in the mail, it's valid through my birthday in 2020. it's like i already have a (conditional) green card or something...

 

 

how long are y'alls DLs valid for, if you already got them in connection with your AOS?

This depends on which state you are in - states that have implemented the Real ID Act seem to check your immigration status before issuing a driver's license and in those cases might be linked to your period of stay. Several states have not yet implemented this.

It has been 6 months +1 day since I submitted my AOS paperwork. I was able to submit a service request online based on my case being outside normal processing times. They said to expect a reply within 3 weeks. 

Last time I spoke to them (about three weeks ago) my case was still at the NBC. I have my EAD/AP. The only reason I want updates is because my local field office is Dover, DE and they don't provide any estimated processing times for AOS. 

I am also worried that some people have received their GC in the mail without any updates or notifications online, I moved last weekend and while I did update my address with USCIS it takes a couple days for them to complete! 

Hope everyone starts to get good news soon!

I am a March filer in Tampa with my wife... that's good to hear and good luck.

Curious if you ever got a notice that your case was ready to be scheduled or did you just get an interview notice in the mail?

I just got notice that my husband's AOS was approved yesterday after 179 days! He did not have an interview! I am so excited and thankful it got approved now as we are going on our honeymoon in Sept and I was worried our interview would get scheduled then. Now he won't even need his AP if he gets his green card in the mail by Aug 30!

 

I hope more of you get approved soon!
