What's next after the AOS interview?

[Michelle & Jessie 51]

We went for the interview on Friday and was approved on the spot!!

What's next? The officer said they will be mailing us the approval notice and then the green card within 30 days. Anyone here knows how long will it take? We are traveling internationally on 1st June. I asked the officer and she said I can travel with my EAD and Advanced Parole card or if my green card arrive first, use that.

But we're still curious to know how long will it take to get the approval notice and the physical card. Anyone??

CONGRATULATIONS !!

 

The IO gave you a realistic delivery time expectation.  There are far too many interdependent variables, involving at least two very large government bureaucracies to be able to make a better "guesstimate."

 

Good luck on your travels and immigration journey.

What does your online account say?

Congratulations!

 

My husband's NOA2 arrived 5 days after the interview and his greencard arrived 3 days after NOA2.

Congrats! As someone else said, it can depend entirely on each individual case; but it seems most common for the greencard to arrive between one and two weeks after approval. Did your online status change to "New Card in Production"? It takes about a week from this status.

Congratulations! We got approved Monday. We got an update that the card was mailed yesterday. I'm expecting it early next week. I would encourage you to check statuses on both site, egov and myusics. Mine conflicted or didn't update at all at times. Also, consider signing up for USPS Informed Delivery, if it is available in your zip code.

I'll let others weigh in on traveling. I thought that EAD/AP were canceled once you are issued a green card, but I could be wrong.

Just received my NOA2 on the approval. It was dated the day of the interview 5/17. It arrived today which is the fourth business day after the interview.

Nope. I specifically asked the officer about the EAP/AP. She said I could still travel on it before I receive the physical green card.

 

My USCIS account was last updated on the day of the interview, stating that it was approved and they will be mailing me the notice, which I received today. Nothing about the green card.

I really hope I will receive the green card before my travels next week. Makes traveling easier especially when my EAD/Advance Parole will expire 10 days after my return date.

My USCIS account just updated! The card has been picked up by USPS, expected delivery on Saturday 5/25
