March 2017 Group - - -  Do you folks have a spreadsheet going that shows everyone's status? 

If yes, what is the URL?

It would be nice for later filers to be able to see just how many of the March group have gotten their 10 year green cards by now. 

And best if the spread sheet is segregated by Vermont vs California.

Hey guys just wanted to give you all an update on my infopass appt experience today. This is in the Boston office.

 

so I was approved on April 7th, with an update from DHS site that USPS had mailed me the card on the 13th, still haven’t received anything. I am traveling internationally on Thursday, which is why i got worried. Normally I wouldn’t be worried since my GC extension doesn’t expire till mid June, but I got my approval letter saying I should refrain from traveling and if I need to, I should schedule an INFOPASS appt. 

 

so I go to my appt, and the guy basically says I shouldn’t have booked travel months in advance before I even knew my removal of conditions was approved. I said it was still within my mid June timeline, so it was fine. And he was like then why are you here? And I said because I got this letter of approval that said I should refrain from traveling unless I get a stamp. He asks me for my itinerary and gives me a hard tkme about why I’m traveling (wedding, so not an emergency) - btw I am shaking at This point thinking he might not give it to me. 

 

Anyway, he asks me if I’ve checked my mailbox or if I’ve moved since i should have gotten my card by now if I’m approved on April 7th. I said I didn’t move and I’ve checked every day. 

 

ANYWAY he finally gave me a temporary 30 day stamp on my passport, took finger prints and pic. The 30 day expires on May 29th, so if I don’t get my GC by then, I will have to go in again. 

 

He said hes seen timeline after approval get delayed because of production but I showed him the DHS update (he didn’t know this was a thing!) that said UPS is mailing it to me, so he doesn’t know what the hold up is. I will make an INFOPASS appt when I return just in case and he said they will research why I still haven’t gotten it...

Well, I think you could still travel with your extension letter in hand (even though the approval letter said this & that here & there, the important thing is the date on the extension letter). Now that stamp that guy gave you actually cut down on the eligible time that you were qualified to travel out of the States. I am so sorry to hear your bad experience.

Yeah, they took away the extension letter as well. I have the approval letter of my ROC, so that's ok. 

 

I could have traveled on my green card + extension letter, however, because I had the approval letter noting that I should refrain from traveling, I decided to get the stamp for this upcoming travel. I've learned with the USCIS and field agents that I need to take things very literally - as they can question me if I travel and it specifically notes that I should refrain from it and they will give me a hard time. Like today, I noted I was going for a wedding (showed my invitation) and he said "this is not an "emergency" as stated in the approval letter." Thankfully, he approved me. I just didn't want anything bad to happen at the border!

 

It definitely means that I lose about 11 days on my green card date, but I'd have to go in anyway if I didn't get my GC.
