Yes! After checking the status of my case online about four times a day since my biometrics appointment, I came home today to find an approval letter in the mail. At first I thought it was an RFE since the status was "received petition to remove...." when I left work (and still is), but it's the real deal!

Anyone else had this happen? Received approval letter while case still pending online that is...

One more year and then we'll go again!

Congratulations on the approval. The online can be behind.

Congrats

Thanks guys! Good luck to all of you who are still waiting!

Congratulations!

Great news.. congrats!

Me too - approval letter today - CSC are cranking!

Congrats!

wow, congrats!!!


my status online worries me too, now after they sent me aother biometrics :-((((

Thanks - you too!!
(it's almost an anticlimax how quick it was.....too much to hope that it'll be this quick for naturalisation???)

Yeah, you would have hoped for a little more resistance, right...

See you in a year!

Well, I still have not received the green card or a notification that the production of one has been ordered.

The status online still indicates LUD as the day after my biometrics (which is also the day before the approval) and the status is still pending at "On August 16th we received you petition..."

I wonder if they forgot to check a box somewhere in the process, or if I'm just jumping the gun by expecting the card to be here by now. Seems like card production normally takes less than three weeks...

Whaddayathink?

Congrats.

Here hoping mine is as fast we got transfered to CSC too. Do you think the speed of the local center for biometrics has and influance also?

See you in a year!

Yep, see you then - I'm sure your card will arrive soon - Good luck everyone who's still waiting.

I had that happen with my advance parole a couple of years back, i received the advance parole document and still to this day it says case is pending!

just want to lift this topic and question in it

has anybody else received approval letter in mail while online status was "pending"?

yup!! My online status didn't get updated until AFTER my approval letter, green card production letter, and the green card actually arrived - Snail Mail wins this round!!

you must have truly scientific mind seeking truth or be in visa-journey for long enough to care about what happens to online case after receiving GC,

Mine goes like this...online status for NOA1 was sent on Jun 1,2007...but I did not get the hard copy from the snail mail until July 20, 2007 after I had called them on July 15, 2007.

I got alot of great help on VJ through this long process so i'd like to pass it on -
(although have to admit I don't log in daily anymore... )

Congratulations!

just got SMS and e-mail 7 am this morning!!! after almost a month since Biometrics and 1,5 months since RFE

(when do they come to work at Laguna Niguel - 6 am????)

case updated online as of Oct 24:

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On October 24, 2007, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

YEEEEEE!!!!!

Nothing new yet... I called last week and requested an investigation. Now I just have to wait 60 days before I can request a status update on the request for a status update... doooh!

Oooops - I spoke too soon. Figured I'd check the status online just after typing this and guess what?!?

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On October 29, 2007, we ordered production of your new card.

However, the status still says: PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED, but I was "touched" today.

No dancing 'til the card's actually in my hand, though...

I got my appointment the day before thanksgiving!!! So I will have a few days extra added on to my wait due to all the holidays that they have at USCIS!!! With a bit of luck i will have it for xmas Yeah!!

Y'all are more than welcome to my spot at TSC, or any others on our waiting list

Congrats to the OP!

I was just lucky to be transferred to CSC. Had I applied when my 90-day window first opened, I probably would have been stuck at NSC. One sunny Friday afternoon I realized that fees were going up the next day, so I got all my paperwork together (that I could find...) and sent the petition in the next day. Almost surprised that I didn't screw anything up...

Thanks! Good luck to you and everyone else still waiting!

Congratulations I hope our new journey will be as fast.

Nah. From your timeline, your 90-day window seems to have opened around July 12, so NSC still would have transferred you to CSC because they started the transfers about July 1.

The people I feel really bad for are those like Mr.Bigdog (Reinhard), who filed promptly when his 90-day window opened in early June -- had he waited just about three weeks, he would have been one of the first to be transferred to CSC and would have long since been approved by now . . . .

Congrats!

it's bullshit...window opened way back in April, and probably won't see approval until February or March There will be months and months of people who file after us who will get approved much more before us.

So, Thursday last week I received a letter from the USCIS saying that my case in indeed within the time limits and that they are currently working on cases from 5/24/07 (of course they didn't realize that they had already sent me an approval notice...). Basically they asked me to wait a few more months and sit quiet in the meantime. Well, I received the new GC on Saturday...

I do feel bad for everyone stuck at TSC and NSC, but I'm glad to have this done and over with. On to naturalization!
