GC received in mail! Yay!

[jasminelily 1]

Good evening my fellow VJers,

I finally got the GC in mail today 7/6/09, the letter dated 6/25/09, envelope stamped 7/1/09. Joyful tears !

Question is: my GC expiration date is 10 years from my I-751 approval date which is 6/17/2019, is that normal/correct? I thought the new GC expiration date is 10 years extension from original approval date/2 yr GC date which would be 4/23/2019.

Btw, I don't have a magnifying glass and I don't want to spend more money so I can't tell if the last tiny little last circle at the back is Obama or Bush. As you can tell, I don't quite care but as far as I see, there's no update on GC design.

Thanks for everyone's support and wish everyone else who hasn't got approval yet have smooth and speedy journey!

In the happy lala land,

Hi jasminelily,

Congratulations!!!! YAY. Very happy for you my dear fellow VJer. The wait is indeed finally over for you.

If I were you I wouldn't care, as you will be soon applying for N400. But I think since it's another application and different approval date than that of AOS so I guess they start the date of 10 year GC based on the date your I-751 was approved, but your resident status remains the same.

Now you will apply for N400 next year. Hope that goes smooth for you. Good Luck for it.

Thanks for the kind wishes. I did call National Service Center with magic option 1,2,3. But the operator told me the same thing. She was reading from a script or something. I asked her a lot of my friends applied after me and got approved and she said it depends on the case to case basis. I requested her to let me talk to supervisor or Immigration Officer, the supervisor said the same thing. But were polite and courteous and so was I, but I wanna know what's going on? :(. Almost 5 months now and no response.

Sorry but it's your thread for celebration. I can only Imagine what a joy it must be have the GC in hand for which you wait over 4 months.

I guess so. My new green card looks the same way, the expiration date is the day the card production was ordered the second time, not the approval date.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations! I received my card today too - the expiration date is 2019, i.e. 10 years from the approved removal of conditions.

Well I did complain to my senator about broken commnunication channels. I suggest you do it if you don't get anything when you reach 6 months since now 6 months is the standard processing time. Still wish it will be there for you before 6 months.
