Is this normal?

[lgg 2]

Well, I checked on line using my SRC number and FINALLY a few days ago it said card production ordered! Cool! That was about a week ago? Today, I check and it's back to post production activity and that they've mailed a notice saying that they've approved this 0S 0155A.

is this normal? Can they not just send me my card? it's like they're freaking ridiculous on purpose. I know I don't 'need' it but I'd like to just have all my stuff.

Gah!

Man it sounds like every single step of this process is frought with issues and stupidity....makes a case for naturalizaiton and ending this schhhhtoooopid process.

Just my humble opinion

in time you will come to accept that the right hand has no freakin clue what the left hand is doing...and that is the norm!!

I'm not really sure if/how CR-1 approvals work differently than K-1 AOS approvals, but when your AOS is approved they like to send you a letter saying you'll be getting your Green Card in a few days/weeks before they actually send you the card. When my AOS was approved the same thing happened- I got an e-mail saying "card production ordered" and then I got the "approval notice sent" e-mail. Fortunately the GC came only a few days after I got the approval letter, so generally they appear around the same time, depending on how fast they produce your card.

I guess its like the census bureau sending you a letter telling you they're going to send you a census form a few days before you actually get it in the mail. What's the point? Just to waste time, and resources of course. Oh America.

PFfft! You are ALL right. Yeah seriously, i just find myself thinking sometimes, really? Really? and yeah, I cannot wait to take that oath and just be done. Not looking forward to ROC, that's for sure.

Thanks ladies, you're the best.

And despite this whole journey being fraught with stress and b.s. and shenanigans, it sure its worth it.

Good luck to you in all your stages of immigration and life in the US.

They just like to pat themselves on the back every time they do something

Your card will be arriving soon....then you can move on to collecting evidence for ROC....it will be here before you know it.

I know, I know... must start collecting evidence of a bonefide marriage!

ROC is very very easy!!! Don't need that much stuff to send in. Its not about quantity, its all about quality of the evidence

I'll keep that in mind next spring. I'm stressing already.

Everytime I see someone talk about ROC, I keep thinking you're talking about ROC. :-P

I just checked USCIS website and mine says on March 19 they mailed a notice saying that they've approved this 0S 0155A. My green card it came in with that approval letter. Hope you get it soon LGG.

[lgg 2]

Well, I'm not that worried about anymore -- it's fine, it'll get here it's just freaking ridiculous. I just hope that it doesn't get lost so that they can charge me 300$ for a new one! Now that would make me 'laugh' and by 'laugh' I mean vomit.
