Thank you so much guys! I'm not a lawyer and I was just trying to make sure regarding this case. I hope it will somehow be a useful timeline for people filing in California.

Good luck!

Congrats!!!

I guess California must be working much faster than Nebraska. I applied in September, and have heard NOTHING!!!!

Which only goes to show you how much you can rely on the processing dates..... I just checked, and it says that California is processing I-751's from July 06. Yours was sent in November 06 and it's already approved.

I take the processing dates with a grain of salt.

That is true. To tell you honestly I never followed the processing times either. I was thinking more of my petition getting approved within 1 year per the NOA's content plus stories from this forum.

I'm really sorry to hear about your case. I hope though you wont get any RFE's. I think US immigration should also pay more attention to people who are legally following the justice system instead of diverting all the funds in cracking down illegal aliens.

Good luck!

yeah, i really dont pay attention either to the processing dates of the USCIS website, because if you look at *all* the service centres AND the district offices, they basically all have the same date with all of them, as if it was the same for every service centre thats all working on teh same page, (which isnt true!)

Congratulations

Thank you!

Congratulations for a very fast approval!!!!

congratulations!! that's a big relief for both of u guys!!!!good job!!!

Thank you! I will give you guys an update as soon as I receive the actual card. I guess mailbox worshiping begins.

Congrats

Hi There,

I too will be in a similar situation in a few months and I was just wondering about how not getting the permanent card in 3 months affects your work status.

For e.g. in your case it seems that your conditional green card would have expired in Dec. 2006. Since you have not yet got your permanent green card does that mean you cannot work till you get it? Do you get a temporary work permit while you are waiting?

Waiting anxiously for your reply or anybody elses reply.

Go Bucks

Blimey, that was quick -- congrats! I hope Vermont is as quick as California!

After you send in your I-751 application, you get an NOA that extends your GC for one year, with work and travel authorization as well. So, in most cases, before that year expires, your 10-year GC is received. If not, you have to go to your local USCIS office to get a I-551 stamp in your passport. If you leave the U.S., you need to show the NOA upon your return to the U.S. to prove you are not out of status.
