Strange Status

[theharbor 1]

Hello Everyone,

I have posted about this topic in the past and am posting about it again because I'm still a bit confused. On July 12th I received this email:

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

On July 12, 2011, your document I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was processed and mailed to the address on record. If you have not received it within 30 days of July 12, 2011, contact customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move while your case is pending, please call our customer service center 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.

After receiving this I received a change of address form in the mail (the I130 application requested my home address, not mailing, which happens to be different). So I called USCIS and made sure my mailing address was changed, and that was that. I thought my status changed because of the change of address form, however, that has been taken care of and this is still my status. Literally, my status is this letter, not initial review or anything like that. I've been attempting to be patient but my patience is limited and I want answers. Last night I was talking to a friend who is going through the visa application process as well, and she said she received the SAME letter and after receiving the letter she was mailed her I765 (she's obviously going a different route). WIth this new information I caved in and called USCIS but they didn't have an answer for me as to why my status is this or what document was sent to me (not even if it had to do with the change of address form). All they could say is that they didn't know which document the letter is referring to and because I'm a few days shy of the 30 day mark they can't do anything about it. Do I just wait it out until the 30 day mark and request a service request? I was so confident that things were ok until I spoke to my friend and realized that this isn't a 'normal' status. Gah, I'm so afraid that this lack of change in my status means my case will eventually be held up, I can't stand the idea of being apart from my husband longer than I already have to. I just don't want to be waiting for something important, like a request for evidence, not receive it and have my case delayed. Any, and ALL, advice is GREATLY appreciated.

Many thanks!

The only think I can think of is that something in your I-130 confused them. Please check item 14 and 22 of your I-130 just to be sure.

The information is all correct :-/

The information is all correct :-/

Then certainly USCIS messed up something during their process. Keep calling and get this resolved. All the best.

The same thing happened to me. I got the same message until I got the NOA2. I wouldn't worry much about this.
