QUICK QUESTION

[unforgettable fire 2]

Hi guys, my AOS was approved this morning at the interview. The immigration officer gave me the congratulations letter and told me I shall be receiving my green card in the mail shortly as well as other relevant information.

However I have checked online and my application has not been touched since April 2008. Is this normal? Not that it matters really since I passed my interview and i got the letter but just wondering to myself since I have read on this forum about people getting e-mails from CRIS shortly after being approved.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Since you interviewed for AOS this indicates that the field office handled the case, in that case more than likely the field office did not report every time they touched the file, like an adjudicator would if the petition was handled at a service center.

Gotcha! I guess I was worrying for nothing

So would I be getting any other mail alongside the green card or not?

And thanks so much for the prompt response by the way!

It varies from person to person, but often people do get a series of emails about the approval.

We got the "Card production ordered" email about 12 hours after our successful interview. About 24 hours after that, we got the "Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident" email. And one week later, we got the "Approval notice sent" email (that's the one with the green card in it).

Congrats :dance: and good luck with getting the green card fast!

(By the way, after the biometrics our case was touched the next day, then no touches or emails till the card production ordered one. That is fairly common from what I read here on VJ.)

Thanks so much for the input! like you i only got on touch after Biometrics and that is it. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a surprise on my inbox!

Take care and thanks again!
