When was you status changed to “card mailed to me”? Then you had it in 3 days?

I got approved on 06/16. Had status “Card was mailed to me” on 06/30 and got the card on 07/3.

I called 877-247-2645 and selected the option that says "I have a case that needs expedite" (a fast way to get to someone) After they asked me to verify etc and told me there were no updates I told them I wanted to talk to an officer and she was like "They're going to tell you the same thing" I was like thats fine. The officer said it could take up to 60 days but she's going to send an e-mail to that department and let them know to print the card asap. After about an hour it changed to "card mailed 

 

Thanks! I'm going to give them a call today and try to see if I can get the same results. *fingers crossed*

Are you sure this is the correct number? It doesn’t work for me.

[Cyndy&Onyi 145]

My status changed from "New Card Being Produced "

 

to

 

"Case Approved"

 

I also receieved an email that said they sent out the card and if I don't receive it by July 22nd I should call USCIS. Those of you who haven't heard back since the EAD approval, did you get an email notice with a date? If not have you updated your notifications on uscis.gov to give you email & text alerts?

 

Also my I-131 was approved today.

Actually that number didn't work for me either. I just called the main USCIS number and pushed through to talk to a tier 2 officer (the hold time was long so I had them call me back). When I talked to the officer, they said that it can take up to 60 days for the card to be produced etc. So I asked if they could send some sort of message/email to the department that produces the card just because I have a job offer with a start date in 2 weeks. They did as I asked but also told me that it could take up to 30 days for someone to even open the message.. 🤦‍♀️ And my case is too close to actually being 'done' for an expedite request to be put in for the card's production - any request now could potentially slow down the entire process.

 

So now all I can do it wait. There's been no changes since the phone call yesterday morning. I hope you call goes better than mine.

Thank you for the update, when was your case got approved?

Thanks for clarifying this. I guess I'm seeing that from the case statuses of "new card being produced" --> to approved there is still an additional wait time to have a change of status to "Card was mailed" before finally receiving it. Thanks again hopefully the wait time won't be too much longer...

Is anyone who filed for AOS in January getting an interview ??

 

I have  been reviewing the timelines of a lot of December, January, February AOS filers.   It appears to me that everyone is getting to the same point of receiving their EAD's and AP but I don't see anyone getting an interview or their green card (except folks adjusting from K-1 who had interview overseas and their US interview can be waived).    With the news of a big layoff soon hitting USCIS are we going to all be in limbo for a long time or is the i-485 interview log-jam clearing and it's not apparent in the timelines yet??

Same thing happened with me. Appeared to be a useless call.

I read somewhere here that they are prioritizing Naturalization N-600 application interviews at the moment with everyone else having to wait. I also read about few on this site who have gotten their interview waived and got their Green Card without one. This could happen to us as well. I think it will all depends on how the Covid 19 situation plays out as well as the election results comes this November. Best of luck to everyone.
