Hi! I'm an april filer, i just got a text from uscis last night saying a new card has been produced.. What does that mean?

Sounds like you were approved and greencard is being produced, congrats!

To who got approved your Green card already. I want to ask a question is, on your green card it shows "resident since" when they count the date, the day they approved I-485 or the day when we marriage.?

Thanks.

Congrats to all who have been approved! My life has been busy since I moved here in Michigan to accept a job last June. Yesterday, I had another job interview and got a job offer today. So from $35/hr for my present job, the new job is offering me $43. I am so happy! Now, I am sooo nervous how to say to my boss tomorrow that I will move on.

Hello,

Haven't been following this thread closely so sorry if I am repeating anything already covered but we received the potential waiver notice and have just now been scheduled an interview. It kind of took me by surprise as I assumed it meant we wouldn't need one after all- should we be concerned?

Hi, Does anybody know the current wait times in Boston? I applied on 04/13 and finished my biometrics on 05/11. I am still waiting for an interview.

Ir happens sometimes. The notice is for a POTENTIAL waiver, not that it has been waived. Get ready for the interview and everything should be alright.

I do not know but you can call USCIS and ask the dates that office is processing right now.

Hello,

I am an early April filer. The last notification we had until yesterday was in July when they sent a letter saying my case was a potential interview waiver case and that there could be a 6 month delay from the date of the letter.

Yesterday we received a RFE letter in the mail. It is asking for us to send a I-693 and vaccination supplement. It is also asking for joint marital asset evidence (joint lease/insurance policies/joint bank account/joint tax return/joint utility bills.) We have 30 days in which to get everything they've requested back to them.

Firstly, the letter offers up no information as to why the I-693 is required. I had my medical in England in Sep 2014 and we filed the AOS in April 2015 - which is under a year. Potentially, my vaccination form is not sufficient which I could understand; am i correct in thinking this should not require the full medical to be redone but only certain sections of the I-693?

Secondly, the only "joint assets" we have are a joint bank account and car insurance policy. We have been unable to put me on the lease agreement and it was too expensive to go on one another's health insurance. I am concerned that we do not have sufficient evidence, especially as the letter seems to me to place heavy emphasis on a joint lease/mortgage.

Thirdly, the letter was sent from the Royal Palm Beach, Florida office. I have no idea how the processing of I-485's are distributed out among USCIS offices, but we live in New Jersey. Does anyone know if this is something to be concerned about?

My online case status still says 'On April 7 2015 we accepted the fingerprint fee for your form I-485'. When I did the automated case status on the telephone, it informed me my case was pending and had been sent to the Lee's Summit, Missouri service office.

I called USCIS this morning. I asked the lady why I am being requested to do another medical. She told me that as my medical from England is a year old, I need to do another one. I told her that was contradictory to the instructions for the I-693 form on the USCIS website. She said the one year validity was a new rule. I told her the automated case status seems to be faulty as my status says pending in Missouri, when it actually appears to currently be in Florida - she had no response other than to say I must do what any letter from USCIS tells me to do.

I know that I don't have much choice but to get the I-693 and send back as much supporting evidence as we can within the 30 days they've given us. I was mainly hoping someone has had a similar experience or could offer up some comforting advice!

Thanks.
