*bump* for reminder -

The purpose of the call is to iron out the details of how to maximize the media coverage. Sending flowers is more about coverage and not to further our own individual case. It is not recommended at all to submit cards with the flowers including your name, A# or case number.

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO

ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On September 10, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this

customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on

the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60

days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing

referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before

you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic

e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to

register.

This was emailed this morning, does anyone know if the same wording is used for conditional permanent as it is for the 10 year card? We are just happy to have this done, but are curious whether it will be the 2 year or the 10 year. Also was is ADIT processing?

Congrats to journeyhelper and dorjam6c.

I thought ADIT processing was taking your picture. I know they used to have people go into their local office to process the actual greencard, take the picture. Not sure, but it seems like perhaps you will get the 10 year card.

((Success))
