Card Production with No Interview

[Gordito and Me 2]

Hey guys,

I am posting this again in hopes that others in the same or similar sitiation can shed some light on this. So I married my husband, brought him and his son on k3/k4 visas. Apply for AOS in Sept 30th, 2010. Did Biometrics for both recieve EAD and AP in early January for both and then everything comes to a grinding halt. When I go to the field office on a INFOPASS appointment. I am told it can take another 2 years before we even have an interview or get approved. After leaving very upset mind you, I got over it and put it out of my mind because thats just something I cant control. So then, on April 19th, I recieve an e-mail saying this:

Card/ Document Production

On April 19, 2011 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a "green card") or other document (such as a naturalization certificate, employment authorization document, travel document, or advance parole). Applications will be in this step from the time the order to produce the card/document is given until the card/document is produced and mailed to the applicant. You can expect to receive your card/document within 30 days of the approval of your application.

If you do not receive your document, please contact our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

You can register for automatic case status updates by email and text message by creating an account.

To create an electronic inquiry for N-400 and I-90 applications beyond the posted processing times, click e-Request .

So, basically when you look at the timeline on the USCIS.gov site, all the dots on the line are empty except the card/production dot. We had NO interview after coming into the US, although we had one at the consulate in Dominican Republic, we recieved no welcome letter, no nothing. Its been 23 business days and is now May 22nd, so a calendar month has come and gone and nothing has come in the mail except the letters stating we have changed address to our new address and my husbands letter confirming change of address has a hand written note on the bottom with some sort of stamp in red saying approved on 4/19/2011. The actual GC has not arrived at the new or old address (my mother still lives at the old address). My step-sons has has no progress whatsoever even though my husbands says card production, my step-sons says no touch since Oct 2010. Has this happened to anyone else before or is it currently happening to anyone? Where you dont get an interview or anything and your card comes in the mail? Any responses will be greatly appreciated guys. The last person who responded to the post said they called and were told that no desicion has been made in their case and that they are pending interview when they already had the interview a few months ago. I had no interwiew in difference from this person here in the States at all. Im growing more and more scared that my husbands greencard will not come in the mail and then we'll be stuck like so many other posts I read this evening. PLEASE HELP WITH YOUR FEEDBACK..

Some people get approved without an interview so no worries. Your husband's GC should come any day now. If it doesn't call them!

I actually managed an appointment for tommorow morning at the Garden City Field office at 0750am. So, when im getting out of work my husband will meet me here and I borrowed my bosses car so we can go. I would like to get some actual clarification asap. The sooner they can inform me of whats going on the better. And if we are approved I can at least get a stamp there because we are traveling to Dominican Republic to see my husbands surgeon next week and I dont want to have issues with TSA when we come back if they see that he is a greencard holder in the system and he doesnt even have a stamp to show for it.

First of all thank you to all who have responded. I appreciate your feedback. I went this morning to the infopass appointment at teh Garden City Field Office and was basically told that (one) its is almost impossible for a person coming in on a visa to not get an interview and get approved and just sent a green card. (two) that the e-mail they sent us could have been for another card, not neccesarily the greencard, when we have had both the EAD and AP since January and the reciept number attached to the e-mail was for the AOS not the other two documents (three) that apprently it hinders your chances at a GC if a person travels on thier Advanced Parole and with the K3/K4 visa unexpired : / (four) that we have been "approved" for an interview but not for an interview date yet : / and (fifth)that an "e-mail" was being sent ( this is the officer sending it who we were speaking with) to the MSC to find out if the appointment date will be coming soon. Of course we recieved no copy of this e-mail or even a confirmation number, and of course he did not take our e-mail to foward us this important response. I mean. What is really going on here? I am at a loss. the guys was even a little surprised when we told him we have yet to get an interview date. Its been since Sept 30th when we filed and since early January since we did everything else and nothing has happened except for this change which the guy is saying it a erroneus e-mail or ment for something else. I am trully disappointed in this system and its flaws.

Wow you've been told some serious mis-information.

1. It is ENTIRELY possible to get a GC without an interview. I did and so did hundreds of other people (though I am a K1 it should be the same for K3 if you filed in a timely manner). It's only when adjusting from a non-family visa that you're guaranteed an interview

2. As you got the document production email that's it... you SHOULD be getting your GC in the mail any day now

3. Never ever heard of this

4. Bullshit. You would get an interview letter, not the "document production" email. The ONLY option is it could be an error and someone clicked the wrong box.

Wow. I would have asked to speak to a supervisor. So much ####### you were told :S Hope it gets sorted soon!

Oh believe me you. I sat there with a smile on my face saying this guy must have lost his mind. I made another info pass appointment for next week at the NYC office instead where our case would in turn be going if we were to interview. Hopefully someone more knowledgeble will see us there and be able to actually point us in the right direction. I have also e-mailed the headquarters to get an email for the MSC so I can inquire personally on what all this means. Since its been over a month, I highly doubt that the GC is coming, but with that being said I would love to know whats going on anyhow.

and on this point, the guy said completely the opposite at the infopass appointment. That only work GC or asylum GC are the ones that can move foward without an interview.

Now I'm wondering if this guy is capable of messing my process up. Cause he was talking about return mail or something while he was reading and then changed the subject completely and asked when my husband came into the country and why we took 7 months to file the AOS and then he asked me if we have kids together and I said yes and he advised me I should bring the birth certificate to the interview that I dont have becasue they never sent me an interview paper..

I am like moving up the wall with this one.

This guy has no clue about the process. On our forum, many many people get the green card without an interview. In fact, my wife got hers without an interview. The process can take more than a month so I would not be worrying too much. Hang in there!
