Aos got approved on May 24th, and I received a welcome letter on June 1st.

Pls share your experience. Thanks!

You may be waiting for a while right now. I got my welcome letter more than 2 weeks ago and I'm just getting sent another one now. Almost a month since my interview/approval.

I have not gotten my green card yet.

I was sent one welcome letter about a week after my interview, and am getting sent another. Apparently it's common for that to happen.

With the change in greencards it seems like it affected a lot of us from around this time.

Mine was approved the 11th, got the welcome letter 2 days later, 2 production notices (last one dated May 14th) but no GC yet.

i agree, this could be causing the delay because i received my welcome letter 9 days after my AOS interview approval and GC was on the mail the next day too. (apr 15th & 16th respectively)(mailed simultaneously i guess) :star: ... i like the new GC- wish i have that instead but.. must not complain now huh? :lol:

like some said, either make follow up or wait some more. Goodluck to all. :luv:

Ya - that was the case LAST YEAR.

Currently, that's not the case.

I hope you weren't talking about your own experience in April or May (hard to say, right? you've no timeline, no data in sig area either)

then please don't offer up conjecture or opinion - the OP is asking for hard data.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Interview Date --May 12, 2010

USCIS Online Card Production Notice -- May 13 and touched May 15

Welcome Notice in Mail -- May 17

The letter however says wait for 30days..so im expecting may be ill get my GC somewhere around June 12-17...if beyond that period, we can call their hotline...

btw, aren't they issuing a new GC now??? maybe we are affected by its mass production ( :whistle: ) but nevertheless lets wait till its our 30th day from date of welcome notice received...
